Mr Bomber Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Now that i got mine transformed to battloid it feels way, way better than fighter. It was clearly meant to be transformed. Im stickering it and probably do some panel lining and see how it goes.( to be honest i never do that to my macross stuff but this valk in particular gets better with thos small details.) Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 ^ One should never drink and browse internet retailers... Well, we have one member here who drinks while panel lining his Valks. I just forgot who exactly. Sorry. Quote
Lolicon Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Well, we have one member here who drinks while panel lining his Valks. I just forgot who exactly. Sorry. I do that, but this is my first time admitting it, so it's not me. Quote

I think it looks a lot better after being panel lined. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I think it looks a lot better after being panel lined.Yeah it looks great! Did you future on it before paneling it? Im thinking about it because it is already shiny as is and with future might be too shiny. Quote
Viiof Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Yeah it looks great! Did you future on it before paneling it? Im thinking about it because it is already shiny as is and with future might be too shiny. nope, no future. tho I might look into giving it a spray of dullcoat. Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Here's my VF-2SS after some Testors Flat clear-coat spray. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 finished stickered mine, here are few pics of it. still need to panel line it. Quote
Viiof Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 finished stickered mine, here are few pics of it. still need to panel line it. Looks nice, better after panel lined I'm sure Quote
Muzaffar Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Hmm...it's meant to exist in battroid mode only. I see it now. Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Hmm...it's meant to exist in battroid mode only. I see it now. If the VF-2SS Sylvie ever goes on a "Super clearance" price, I might get another one so it is strictly in Fighter mode.... Glue will have to ensure this. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Finally panel lined my VF-2SS This is the end result. The added detail that pop with the panel lines gives more character to the valk. specially on the head. Quote
Big s Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Hey 505thAirborne that flat coat and panel line job looks legit, before I saw yours I thought these looked like absolute crap, but you took that crap and turned it into gold. Quote

Thanks Big s, normally I never panel line or clear coat my Valks but I made a massive exception for this one. I also switched out the hands (pics to come) and modified the gun pod too. I'll be doing the same thing when the SAP set arrives! Quote

anubis20 Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I want this, but i refuse to pay over ¥8000 for it, Guess i will never own it Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Swapped out the hands? What did you swap them out with? A little something like this. Quote
unknown Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 anybody bought the other vf 2ss with the SAP included? Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 anybody bought the other vf 2ss with the SAP included? It's not out yet apparently. I cancelled my Nexx order and just went on ordering the SAP set only coming August. Quote
unknown Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I heard that they make a new mold for the other two vf 2ss, is it true? Quote
F360 Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I heard that they make a new mold for the other two vf 2ss, is it true? where did you heard that from? Quote

Forper Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) VF-2SS is clearly the true future Macross, such an awesome design, a really nice evolution which I can't say for the overly bird like Macross plus and future valks. I want to order a Nexx pack with SAP to complete my long held dream of a 1/60 VF2SS. Kinda sorta always wanted that 1/100 kit since I was 14 years old (25 years ago?!) but never did it because my model making skills are so poor. Edited July 5, 2016 by Forper Quote
vlenhoff Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I'm gonna cancel my pre-order for the Faerie squad version. Although to be honest, I have no recollection of ordering it. Must have been drunk at the time......haha. This is what happened with me and MPP10. No morning after pill for me though... Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Got a notice from AmiAmi that the release date of the stand alone SAP set hase been moved up from August to this month. Any members who ordered Faerie or Nexx set if there's any changes on their release dates? Quote
Sandman Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I got that notice too. I misread it thinking it was about the Farie squad release. I was like WTF they delayed it and now are moving it up. This actually works good for me. I wanted to cancel Farie squad release but was afraid amiami would cancel my sap order. Now I can get the standalone sap and cancel the Farie squad. Quote
easnoddy Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I got the Amiami notice also. I would hope that Evolution have pushed off any other VF-2SS releases until after a retooling. Add 2 tight, clicking ratchet joints to each swing arm which could help keep the legs in place and its easily worth $20 more. Quote
wmkjr Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) I wish that they're taking notes to maybe improve the next 2 releases but I doubt it. Anywho, it looks like there is gonna be a display stand for this. It's gonna be a fixed position fighter mode with 2 arms, one regular and one with SAP in black. Maybe this is the mold they were talking about? Edit: Gosh that swing bar really kills it for me. That position makes it stand out. Edited July 8, 2016 by wmkjr Quote
arbit Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Wow, this thread has 125k views and 2k replies for a pretty unpopular figure. Hope that means there is a market for Yamato or Bandai to do it again. Edited July 8, 2016 by arbit Quote
auberondreaming Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 ^this. this forever. I was and am a very vocal proponent of getting a VF-2SS toy. It's one of my favorite designs. But this is... well, this. And I didn't get one. And I am (sadly) happy about it. Quote
GabrielV Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Got a notice from AmiAmi that the release date of the stand alone SAP set hase been moved up from August to this month. Any members who ordered Faerie or Nexx set if there's any changes on their release dates? No change to the Faerie Squadron variant since the last delay pushing it to this month. Quote
