505thAirborne Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 Dear Evolution Toys.... We all hope you see these pics and try to understand what an amazing toy yours COULD HAVE BEEN. @20max20 Everything about that Leg/intake section you made is super awesome and whether you wish to believe me or not, that is pretty much exactly how I pictured that section of the VF-2SS to look like and function, superb job!

Xigfrid Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 Nice customs, I love the pain schems too. i can’t wait to see them assembled and in all modes. Quote
Convectuoso Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 Looking forward to seeing the assembled pictures! Quote
Sildani Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 You could probably make a decent living with commission builds! Lovely! Quote
frankell05 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 No way, way too much work for what people are willing to pay in commissions lol Quote
20max20 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Finally assembled. I’m really bad In taking pictures, looks better live. first and last time in battroid just for you guys: back to fighter mode, different angles. Front: Back: Top: Front Side: ...and having fun during the first swooooshhhh! ...faster hope you like it, it’s been a fun project Quote
Scyla Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 That looks surprisingly good. Awesome job! If only the base toy was that good. Is it still a perfect transformation toy? Quote
20max20 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 thanks, yes the Roy is still perfect transformation, the Max version (will assemble it soon) instead has the arms partforming (but potentially will look better than the Roy and the mod is only around 5 hours of work). Quote
linitrofe Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 Dude, I can believe it. Congratulations and enjoy!!!! Quote
Xigfrid Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 That ET VF-2SS looks really awesome now, very nice job! Quote
Kicker773 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 So when are you taking commissions @ 20max20? Quote
jvmacross Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 Great job, especially considering the source material......sadly, ET's source material seems to have been the Takatoku Henkei Valk Hopefully, Bandai will give us a proper DX someday.... Quote
20max20 Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 thanks a lot guys! I'm far from being good enough to take commissions but I try my best I really hope we will have soon a good toy of this design, maybe from Bandai. It is really nice and IT CAN BE DONE! Anyway, back to today's update, as expected the part forming mod used for the Max custom is not only much faster, but also looks slimmer in fighter mode. In summary the mod consist in: BODY MOD - remove completely the piece that is the mechanism for the shoulder transformation as well as the blocking piece for the wings. Cut away all and just leave the remaining piece necessary to clip the metal bar of the legs in battroid mode. Carefully mark where the arms would connect if directly attached (shoulder joint) and place a good magnets there. Same near the end of the body (identical as for the Roy mod). backpack tail shortened strainght. ARMS MOD - dirll in the hole for the screw (shoulder joint) and add the magnet. Magnet added also near the wrist (same as Roy mod but no epoxy putty modelling) NOSECONE MOD - same as the Roy mod (so removal of the fin, epoxy putty and then magnet) INTAKE MOD + LEG REPOSITIONING - same as the Roy mod. Pictures of the assembled bird, you can see that the arms are sitting even closer to the body now, almost at the same level as the ending of the new designed air intake. Even if I prefer the overall proportion of the Roy better, I have to say I really like also this one. If I will ever decide to do another one, I'll do this mod. Both together for comparison. Next stepi s to sand down the connection points for the SAP (so the paint job will not be totally destroied...just a little bit ) and dress them up! Quote
505thAirborne Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 I could ramble on & on yet all I'll say is that these look amazing & you did a superb job! Next step after the SAP is getting a Yeti-stand and a good display case. Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 @20max20 How are those SAP parts coming along? @CHAVAKAISER Love that red VF-2SS + SAP. looks sooooo good! Quote

I bought a Faerie Squadron from HLJ when they had it for 13,000 yen (plus some bonus points) and the cheapest shipping possible. Still pricey given it's quality but no way I'd spend 28,000 yen. Quote
