I'm sure a palm sander will be useful at this scale
-
I kinda wanna guess that part of the protracted development process is simply due to the size and volume of plastic that needs to flow into the molds. Look at those gates on the test shots, they look like they've been repeatedly carved out bigger and bigger

Now with color!

Welp, the VF-31A came in to add to the shelf. I swear I'll build these eventually...
-
I shipped mine. Will hopefully have it mid-September to add to the backlog pile.

Modify the Freyja figure into Makina
-
The VF-31A is out, scans of the manual are up on hobbysearch: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10472150 I'm glad I bought this because it comes with the same exact pilot tree as the VF-31J, so I finally get the Hayate figure for my VF-1EX. Also bonus Freyja figure.

Hopefully this'll pop up at the spring HLJ sale...

Hasegawa 1/72 VF-19EF/A Isamu Special *March pre-order*
TMBounty_Hunter replied to slide's topic in Model kits
This is coming back in December according to the latest flier: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/event/ajhs2017/ -
Max Factory's Pacific Rim model kits took nearly 2 years from initial announcement to final release. Announced with an initial prototype shown at Winter WonFes 2015 in Feb of that year. Released in December 2016 and January 2017. I kinda want to guess it's because they don't have on-site manufacturing so the back-and-forth between design in Japan and test injections in China takes much longer.

Nice view of the buttrod support point I have a feeling that we will not see a Battroid version for a while. I'm assuming there's a great expectation of mobility from the Battroid, while the Gerwalk so far appears to be fixed pose. The leg definitely are. The tweet here shows that maybe the elbow is movable, there's a round joint in there. The shoulder armor and the upper arm however appear to be single piece just like the legs. You're gonna need some very heavy duty joints for all this tons of plastic. EDIT: More pics

More pics

It's a separate tree for the bent legs, so these will likely be separate kits per mode like Hasegawa.

*SCREAMING* frakkING GERWALK TOO

Good shot of the figure being fondled

Has VF-27 been forgotten by Hasegawa?

and also

*heavy breathing*

Honestly I only want the Mirage 31, but getting Hayate might save a load of trouble getting a pilot figure for the VF-1EX pair I already have.
