spacemanoeuvres Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 I have 1/48 side covers that came with the GBP Armor Parts. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to replicate them via 3D printing or some other method? I've never tried but am curious. Would be cool to have them for my other 1/48s Quote

TheFrenchOne Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 I am pretty late to the party but is there any chance to see the 1/48 side covers added to shapeways ? I would love to add those to the earlier 1/48 yammies I have on display. Quote

Probably, but not sure they'd be very durable out of most of the plastics available. Even the Acrylate material might wear over time. Quote
Rickifast Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 wondering the same. anywhere we can get these parts anymore Quote

But i didn’t find that shoulder joint either. Quote

After he was banned he went sour and is still up to the same old shenanigans. Avoid this seller like cancer. Quote

But not being able to get hands and cavity feelers hurts more. I can't believe with 3D printing stuff flying all over the place I can't get hands and fillers. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Just came across these. Not mine, but if you need them here they are on Shapeways. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/iscustom 1/48 BP-8 and 1/55 VF-1D Conversion Kit Quote

I've been looking for a BP-8 replacement for a Yamato 1/48 1S that I want to turn into a Minmay Guard Paris Act. Just placed an order for the two-pack (in case I screw something up). And I *do* still plan on 3D scanning all of the resin cast 1/55 parts that I have, which includes a VF-1D head, cockpit, and heatshield. I'll probably scan in a chestplate and modify it for the 1D, too. The scanning project is on hold at the moment while I design and build my own scanner from the ground up. The reasonably-priced commercial options ended up being very disappointing. Quote

EDIT: Also, the photo of the part does not seem to look exactly like the broken shoulder hinge. Granted that I'm just eyeballing stuff, but after watching the video on that page and looking at the interactive 3D preview of the parts, I think they'll work. Based on the description of the parts, they were designed by someone else and hosted by the Shapeways user. Shapeways does all of the printing and shipping, so you won't have to worry about your order being fulfilled. Given that these parts have to be durable, it's good that they're only offered in Versatile Plastic. The natural finish isn't too bad if you're trying to save a little money. You can polish the surfaces with a high grit sandpaper. I did that for some replacement 1/48 backpack hinges. Quote
ValkAddict Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Thanks @Anasazi37 for your input. I am not a customizer, nor do I have modeling skills. Valkyrie repair is all new to me. Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Saw your message @ValkAddict, since I can't post pictures in a message (for some reason) here's a reassurance that the Ball joints are there. Also, I've used 4 sets of these shoulder replacements and they almost appear to be a bit stronger than the factory parts. Quote
