1 earthquake with sms action base means vf-25 armor fatal crack.

Hi guys,

I've been lurking on the MW forums for a couple of years now, but I never posted anything because I didn't feel I had anything worthwhile to contribute but thanks to you nutcases I'm trying to build a VF-25F myself.

I originally started this kit as a quick project I could finish in a weekend or three (which is why Alto looks kinda jacked; I wasn't too concerned about accuracy). Now it's turned into this obsession where I'm trying to make it as anime accurate as I can with my limited modeling skills. Anyway, thought I'd share what progress I've made so far. Went through like a dozen formulations of transparent green paint before I finally got the shade I wanted. Don't even get me started on canopy tinting screwups...

same as my vf-25f head,soon i'll post that if i get a camera.

Paint it white as a future Alto´s VF-25S

I´m back to the VF-25G in which I am working... One issue, hip/intake covers are molded in blue:

For anime acurate, we need to paint these parts or use Alto´s hips, if we have a VF-25F SuperMessiah...

STIK,this bandai not thinking their fans,they are always want us to waste more money to buy white paints.

do you think they will also release the separate armor like what they did to vf-25f for VF-25S?

About the 4th time I've typed this:

Red and blue food color makes brown

Clear red and clear blue paint makes clear brown paint

Most purple paints and inks don't like being mixed with Future. At all.

Yes, it violates everything you've learned about colors in your whole life, but that's what happens with every brand I've tried. I even tried like 20 parts blue to 1 part red---instantly turns totally brown.

Very few things actually make a "clear purple" and even fewer dry smoothly/evenly, without specks or streaks. One of my little "experiments" seems to mix better as time goes by---I've had a cup of it sitting on the shelf for weeks now. Plan to try it after the next airbrushing attempt. (my current airbrush mix works, but is so finicky I've only gotten 2 of the 3 clear parts done now---I've come so frustratingly close with the biggest piece, only to have one run/bubble/hair screw it up)

you are right,i also doing that and it turns clear brown,i don't know if you already do this but this time i still not yet use this clear blue 25% + clear red 20% + clear 55%.

i think using clear lessen the effect,and too much clear blue could cause brown.

Yeah, but clear red/green/yellow/blue are easy to do--I've even had people comment on how well I do clear blue. But clear purple is just 1000x harder for some reason. It just doesn't work/react right. I could have several Lucas built in the time I've spent on my Alto canopy.

did you mean you used clear paints like you mentioned?did you mix the clear blue and red?

i think blue mix to red = violet,right?

#%^@%$!^%&! The Super Packs have transparent purple parts in them! Why the **** couldn't they do that for the canopy? Do you know how much time/effort/money I'd have saved if they'd molded the canopy parts in the same color they used for the lights(?) on the Super Packs? (and I *still* don't have one canopy piece done--the biggest one---still have to make another attempt)

(mine just arrived today, via SAL)

PS--as I mod, I can swear all I want. I just intentionally mask it to leave it open to interpretation.

why this vf-25 series guns doesn't have clear green and red for his gun beam?because this is another business strategy of bandai.

maybe sooooon they will realese another version of this vf-25.example is the perfect grade just like gundam or 1/72 vf-25 version 2.

Nope no sheryl decal... oh well. Yep I've got a VF-25F coming in from HLJ as well which will be my Sheryl VF

One massive downer for the casual builder for the RVF-25---- the ghosts only come with the decal sheet, not a sticker sheet!! Which seems to be a pretty cheap thing to do, considering that they already provided a special base for the ghost and an addition stand to latch onto the SMS action base.

The Super VF-25F boxart has Brera's VF-27. I hope they release a VF-27 kit soon! I would be on that like white on rice or stink on cheese

i think the vf-27 is different to vf-25 hips joints and if they apply the same style from vf-25 well ,that would be fail for me,i hope they will make a better and movable hips just like infinite justice,are you agree guys?

OK

Are there any one who is going to be mad enough to buy VF-25F+ Ranka decal at this price?

damn that's over pricing.

Adding the armored pack wouldn´t damage the decals/stickers? Anyone knows how are they attached to the model (pegs, magnets...)?

Thanks

actually,yes there is a chance that would damage the decals even if the kit was coated by clear coat and that's why you should have to remove some parts of the kit and place the armored pack.
