There are compromises to the anime magic gods present on the figure that I can't imagine we'd be seeing if this were a battroid-only figure, like a longer-than-the-lineart nosecone, narrower forearms/shins, and a suspiciously complicated looking thigh joint.

I wrote a genre novel -- crowdfunding now!

Anyway, bought myself a copy and looking forward to reading. -

Wait... I remember this. You were producing renders of the various ships a few years back. -

Knight, can I get a link? I'd love to check it your work. -

And I you, Mr. March! Nice to hear, and thanks! -
Hi MWers, Not sure how many of you remember me... I used to haunt the Fan Works sub board pretty regularly, where I got a ton of great feedback on the cg vf-1s I was working on at time (I'm currently working on a 3D print of that, btw - I really need to start up a thread there to show off my results!) Anyway, a primary reason for my absence is... I've been working on a book! It's a fantasy novel. I’m crowdfunding its publication through the Nerdist contest on Inkshares.com and am campaigning for social shares and especially for pre-orders to make my dream of becoming a published author come true! (Well, one of my two dreams -- valkyrie pilot is one that I'm a little less close to immediately achieving.) I'd be honored and forever appreciative if you'd check it out at https://www.inkshares.com/projects/feyside

Apologies in advance.
-
Finally another chance to own one of these...
-
A meager 1 from BIJ
-
That was my first impression as well. This thing wound up arriving at the same time as a used SV-51 I'd ordered (missed it when it was released, finally found one for cheap). Despite being the considerably smaller VF, the Lightning III is MUCH heavier.
-
My EMS-delivered VF-4 finally arrived at my door in NYC just before I had to leave for work this morning -- counting the hours until I get to go home and unbox it! I'd had the same LA Customs delay as everybody else...
-
Thanks Sandman, that makes me feel better about my preorder!
-
Gaaah, wish I'd gotten my hands on one of these while they were available...
-
Where's the Like button when you really need it?
-
Maybe. The wife recently made me pick my top 20 or so toys for a single modest display cabinet. The rest went into storage, and the other display cabs were repurposed for "adult stuff". The future is grim, my friends.
-
Sigh. Ordered from NY. I have neither will nor principles (and, soon enough, no cash either )
-
THanks guys!

Okay, so Olympic swimming and diving is VERY off-topic, but this stuff is what I've been working on for the last six months and I'm proud of it, dammit! Besides, "movie magic" mocap is kinda science fiction-y, don'cha think? http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/08/09/sports/olympics/diving-how-to-win.html http://earlystart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/24/can-3-d-movie-technology-improve-an-athletes-performance-olympic-gold-medalist-dana-vollmer-demos-the-future-of-athletic-training/ http://earlystart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/24/best-advice-dana-vollmer/ http://startingpoint.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/24/olympian-dana-vollmer-demonstrates-how-she-uses-3d-movie-technology-to-improve-her-swimming-performance/ Pretty much any CG in these videos is mine, and I was one of the live mocap operators for the tv segments.

Ordinarily I wouldn't post off-topic stuff, but these explain where I've been expending my 3D energies in lieu of working on my never-finished VF-1: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/08/09/sports/olympics/diving-how-to-win.html http://earlystart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/24/can-3-d-movie-technology-improve-an-athletes-performance-olympic-gold-medalist-dana-vollmer-demos-the-future-of-athletic-training/ http://earlystart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/24/best-advice-dana-vollmer/ http://startingpoint.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/24/olympian-dana-vollmer-demonstrates-how-she-uses-3d-movie-technology-to-improve-her-swimming-performance/ Pretty much any CG in these videos is mine, and I was one of the live mocap operators for the tv segments.

Drat. On mine, every single part of the thing is heavily glued together. I've already cracked the cylindrical "upper arm guard" trying to pry it off the upper arm with an x-acto blade.
-
Doubtless a stupid question, but... what are you folks using to disassemble the VF-0 parts that are glued together?
-
Got mine any they look great! I was very ambivalent about finding/applying paint, so I think I'll investigate the suggested dark gray Sharpie option....
-
Beautiful stuff, mate!
-
Hahahah, that's awesome. I think it was just used for some of the nighttime "future war" stuff in T2. The use in Buckaroo Banzai is a lot more prominent:
-
It's the Sepulveda Dam in LA. I honestly know nothing about the place, beyond that it's been used as a filming location for stuff like TERMINATOR 2, GREASE and BUCKAROO BANZAI...
