Pat S Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) OK, where was I... Sooo, one problem I could use help on figuring out is the reverse joint between the engine intake and upper thigh in Gerwalk. I'm still playing around with the parts I have looking for something that can fold 90 degrees, then back into the leg. The other day i was trying to see if the Studio Half-Eye solution would work, but that's a no go, that part of the leg doesn't really move on the SHE. Then I looked at the Liquid Stone version, and I noticed that they concealed that part of the leg from every picture on their website. From the one pic that you can sort of see something on, it looks a lot like my original solution (a little swivel joint that slides back into the leg). http://homepage3.nifty.com/rs-labo/yf19g.html Edited April 18, 2005 by Pat S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I just directed somewhere here to follow in your footsteps Pat... did you ever overcome your engineering hurdles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatch Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 How is your yf-19 now? Any news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull-1 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I too am curious about the -19. Are the WAVE JOINTS you used aluminum or plastic? How do they stand up to weight? Can they be used on a 1/55 and if so, where can I find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Wow..I had forgooten all about this. I was really interested in seeing how it turns out too. Any updates Pat? Does Pat even post anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlenhoff Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Wow, congratulations, this seems like a though one. It looks really nice compared to the Yamato original. This is truly impressive work. I wish Yamato would make a 1/60 version of this toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghiblione Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 So, always no more update....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_f_davis@yahoo.com Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 All these mods make me wish Yamato would release their 1/48 YF-19 FP. :-( I am no where near as talented as these folks, and would not dare do to my 19 as these folks have done. It is sweet, and it adds much life and awe to an already amazing toy. Keep up the good work! SNAP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat S Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) Sorry, I never saw these last few replies. I didn't get much further than what's been posted. Cars have been taking all my time. I have a box that keeps begging me to open it up and work on it again. I'll take a look at it this next week. What stopped all progress was the upper leg gerwalk section. I couldn't figure out how to make it stable. I'll need help in figuring that out still. One of the cars slowing me down. http://www.mrtwo.net/mr2modproject/corolla...cs/DSCN6149.JPG Edited February 3, 2006 by Pat S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emajnthis Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 aka a corolla GT-S in America, people who own them usually don't know what they have which is good for enthusiasts since they can nab them pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress_Maximus Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Amazing work so far PatS! Hope you will continue sometime soon, looking forward to updates w/pics. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat S Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 I dug out the box Here's the part I need help with. I need to create this ostrich type upper leg joint. Please give me your ideas, I haven't been able to come up with a good solution. I can drill these sections out and insert anything that will fit and then putty it up. I'm open to canabilizing another toy for parts or creating / ordering parts. Thanks for any help, and I do appreciate the comments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hmm...that looks like a toughie... you need something with a very wide angle of motion that will fit up in there... Something akin to the hip on the 1/48 would be ideal if you could get it to bend futher, but I'm not sure what to use or how to get it in there with enough range of motion...
