seti88 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) quick question. I know shin's 0A didn't actually have any tail markings in the ova, but I'm trying to decide what would look better; the skull marking (since he was Roy's wingman in the end) or the bunny head? I would go with the bunny head. Or even better, maybe this Got it off MW fb postings a while back... granted its more noseart-ish rather than tail but hey it might work...

no3Ljm Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Very cool. What stand are you using? That's a Flightpose display stand. For me anyway, i like the beefed up valk look with the ghost set. More sharp edges and that big thruster at the back, makes the valk look like its built for speed. The design blends in well for me, and adds a modern tech feel to otherwise seems to be (well not exactly just) another aircraft. The gray ghost with the 0A colors.. ...sublime...my preference even over an 0S with ghost... Amen to that, sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is, it's still listed in the sale section! lol!, Yeah it's still on the list, but it no longer have the red [onsale] sign on top of the [add to cart] button, so it more likely they set a certain amount for the sale instead of their whole inventory. either way it did last a very long time.

anime52k8 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) What happened to it? Did it not hold? Glue failed, legs stay attached but hips are now very loose. I'm thinking I need a stronger/less brittle adhesive. I'm gonna try again with a two part epoxy instead of superglue. worst case scenario is I get a ghost booster for this one and leave it in fighter mode. The 0S remains the best, most playable version. :edit: I've also bee thinking about a plan C/"desperation move; do not try this at home kids" that involves drilling a small whole through the plastic nub into the metal stem, tapping the whole thing, joining the two parts with a small screw than grinding down the screw head so that everything fits properly.

jenius Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Or... you can throw that piece of sh** toy in the trash and call it a day. My 0A is probably fighter mode forever now... it's not even worth the aggravation to try to do more with it than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subie81 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Question for you Jenius, how's your 0s holding up? Any problems with it so far? Have you had any problems with the hips or legs popping off? The reason I ask is because i recently purchased the 0s.

anime52k8 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) I REFUSE TO LOOSE THIS PATIENT! Frankly, even with a leg that falls off, it's still more fun as a toy than several other valks I own. *cough*VF-27*cough*frakkthatmess*cough* sorry, I should really get that cough looked at.

jenius Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Question for you Jenius, how's your 0s holding up? Any problems with it so far? Have you had any problems with the hips or legs popping off? The reason I ask is because i recently purchased the 0s. Well it's off to storage now so not much more experience with it after the review. That said, I thoroughly tested those legs when I had it out and I am convinced that Arcadia fixed the problem. I'd be scared of 0D and 0A toys but I think the 0S is safe.

Using the YF-19 as a benchmark, I figure the VF-0D will get a reissue in march of 2017. That's a long time to wait though and while I'm hoping that a reissue will have all the fixes and improvements that the VF-0S has, there's no way to be certain.

If the hips are fixed and the joints are all snug then I'd buy the 0D again. Otherwise no dice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The left arm of my VF-0S broke, just where the screw connects to the large tab. It felt down of my detolf and hit the ground pretty badly. In dispair, I tried to glue it, but naturally, since it is on a joint, the glue is not strong enough. I really hope someone creates a replacement on shapeways... I found only replacement for the old yamato one. On a positive note, I have a brown VF-1A 1/60 (version 1), that felt at the same time. The left arm broke also at the shoulder, but the gluing process was successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
