  1. 1. Make the head-laser static or moveable?

You simply must show or tell us about how they compare to each other. The VF-4's lives depend on it!

Hmm, I'd also pay extra for some Kurisama service. I can assemble things but stuff encompassing paints & such are a bit beyond me.

Excellent work, buddy!

Offering painting service now? If yes, I would like to have two sets from you.

Thank you! I'll let you know how it goes when I finish with mine. See how streamlined I can get it.

My heads came in today. Picked up all three versions!

Nice! How do you find them? Please be careful when handling the fd and fud around the guns.

Small update, just needs a couple of coats of clear to seal in the decals and give it all the same sheen (green visor is currently drying separately with a high gloss, to be inserted as the final step);

I've been at this stage for nearly a week and a half... too humid to spray the clear coats :(

This looks great. I curious how shapeways parts feel like. Your head looks really smooth. Does it come this way or do you have to sand it down a lot?

Just have experience with the HP DesignJet 3D printers.

What I don't like are the sliver accents on the head. from the pictures it seems they are the only parts on the plane that have this color.

Black or white accents would work much better imho but that are personal preferences I guess.

Anubis20 - great work! So strange seeing my model 'out there' :D

I also happened to finish my build today, unfortunately there are some areas where the clear coat had some weird cracking - i was too impatient between coats maybe, but oh well.

Please enjoy the pics!

Wow, that VF-4 looks like an m-effing bruiser. You have officially sold me on this head design. Really amazing custom paint job and markings too. Are those Scorpion's water slide decals? Kurisama did say the head seemed smaller and looking at the pics it seems like both are a little bit smaller than the original... that could be a perception thing and not actually the case however.

Really, I can't stop looking at this thing. TAKE MORE PICTURES! Seriously, I think this is the definitive scheme for the VF-4. Better than the FB2012 scheme even.

Also, how does the paint hold up during transformation?

I feel the same the head looks smaller but is only the perception that giving the design maybe the faceplate should be oversized but not sure if this would affect the fighter mode anyway what I see is that the male head feels much more agressive and the yamato´s the female version
