Swapping out the heat shield out is simple enough. Getting a spare Roy 1S heat shield, or making your own Skull Squadron heat shield in black, is the real trick. Quote

Better with the Premium, especially with the black box. http://imgur.com/xcuKcMj DWC will have to buy two Roy-Premiums now to get the black Jolly Roger for both the heatshield and the FP. Otherwise, he'll missed out on the Premium's tampo-details... Quote

sh9000 Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Here's a cool weathered Premium Finish VF-1S Roy. Quote

technoblue Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 A yellow heat shield for Roy would be a fun custom. I only remember the Hasegawa models from my lurking days, though. Quote

Oh, way before the Blu-Ray. BV "fixed" the colors in the HD-Remastered dvd --> http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/BCBA-3170 yet, some (or maybe all) of us still have the first dvd version that was bootlegged to hell and back...

Lolicon Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 So who here is going to be the brave soul to be make a custom yellow heat shield for Roy? That weathered Roy looks nice. Quote
Toonz Posted July 18, 2017 Author Posted July 18, 2017 black heat shield is excellent! always feel that VF-1S should carry a black shield. Quote

no3Ljm Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 What I like about that cel-shaded custom is, the paint application doesn't need to be perfect. Quote
Mommar Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 So where's the rest of the series with that cell shaded VF-1 assembled? Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Damn that cell shaded VF is really nice. Especially the optical illusion that it creates. -b. Quote

I think if I had both I'd get my regular version painted with the cell shading for the more anime look and keep the premium as is for more realistic look. Quote
Boobytrap Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I'm always impressed with cell shaded figures. Logically my mind knows that it is a 3D figure by my mind keeps seeing it as a 2D screen capture. Would really like to see the finished product. Quote

IMHO, I wouldn't call the Premium Finish a realistic look. If it were weathered, it might. If the Premium is realistic then the DX Valks has the right to that title more. Quote

Well, I did say "more realistic"...A valk with a bunch of detailed decals compared to one without and painted with the cell shade look seems "more realistic" to me. Not all real aircraft are always weathered looking either... Quote

I'm still not satisfied with what Arcadia's doing with their releases. Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Beautiful looking custom. Would be cool if Arcadia or Bandai released "premium cell shaded" versions of their figs Quote
