  1. What version did you get? The older individual hinge or the newer in pairs? I got the older and they fit great!
  2. What do you use to mark the lines? Do you paint them or use a pen? I saw a video of a guy doing weathering on a Gundam model and he was using a special pen. Great job!
  3. The other would be making a 2 seater or 1 seater like the ones here for 1/60 versions http://www.macrossworld.com/1378/winter-wonder-fest-2012-yamato-booth-guitar-helmet-vf-1-upgrade-parts-photos-by-blackaces-noel/img_0501/ or http://www.macrossworld.com/1378/winter-wonder-fest-2012-yamato-booth-guitar-helmet-vf-1-upgrade-parts-photos-by-blackaces-noel/img_0507/ That would be awesome!!!
  4. How about somthing like these hands. http://www.g-system-shop.com/product_info.php?scale_id=11&products_id=369 I bought a pair thinking they were fine for the 1/60 models but they are too big, Made for the 1/72 1/60 Gandam models which I asuume are bigger. However, they are great! Very possable and good quiality. Just saying..
  5. OK. Thanks . As I said before, it is hard so it took me a while to flatten the surface. So next pair, untouched. Regards.
  6. I started working on them....it was really easy to put the original pins. I used a thin screwdriver to widen the holes a little bit and then I used a small hammer to get it in place. I was afraid of braking it but I realized it is extremely hard. My hinges did not sit in place perfectly, so I flattened the part that goes screwed to the chest using an exacto knife. I will try to use them just like that with doing anything to them but I think I will be having issues specially in fighter mode.
  7. I finally got them and they look great! Now, what should i do next? This granny feeling will disappear after a while or should I polish them somehow? The pin hole is really small ( i got the first release of them) i wonder if it fits...if not i can put some paper clip portions i do not mind. Thanks again for this!!!
  8. Really? Where? I could not find any links or info about them. Are they also available in Shapeways?
  9. Now, the next project would be to get those 1 or 2 seats, on the home page news, that go behind the head. We all already have the figure but not the seat. I think the head moves forward like and has a hole where we can insert the seat, can't we? It would be awesome!!!
  10. Mine will be getting here anytime. Can you upload some pics to see what you are refering to?
  11. Mine got a shipping label with a tracking number on the 17th but it has not been updated. On the email itself indicates it will be delivered on Monday 20. Do you think it is not showing it updated only or it is that it has not been taken to the UPS facilities? I just want to see them in my toy today!!
  12. I got an email from shapeways with shipping info.....it will be here on Monday!!!!
  13. I will do the same but with the old ones. I will let you all know what happened.
  14. I think the old one. What were the issues you saw with them?
  15. Getting replacement Hinges YYEEYY

  16. What I wanted to say is that, we might find other pins to use if the originals do not work. We dont want to put too much stress on them and brake them. How much are they going to be, more or less? Are you gonna update the old link to Shapeways or post another one here later?
  17. I fixed the hinges using sections of a thick paper clip. They are easy to cut out but they are just a little bit thinner. Then I got the portions the wire that holds a processor from an old motherboard. The important thing is to see if they fit. Another thing would be to sand those pins down a little bit.
  18. There are people truly passionate about things like this. I am one of those..for years I dreamed about getting a "Robotech" in my country and never could. Now, I bought my first Yamato and it was wonderful except for the shoulders. I also dreamed about fixing it..all kinds of things...I actually suggested using 3D printing to make them but ans EXO showed his project. I am looking at this page every 5 minutes and presing F5 for any updates...I am dieing. Regards,
  19. VF5SS I hope it would work with the vf1-j which are completely white. I want to thank you for letting these available for all! I always thought could be a good idea to 3d print them. Please, update us about the revisions you will get. I hope everything goes well with it. Way to go!
  20. I was wondering the same but about the vf-25f tornado messiah. I don't know if I can remove the super parts. I kind of don't like those parts very much. Can they be removed? Regards to all
  21. I read your post, then I looked at the pictures but did not understand what you were doing...Duhh then looking at them more carefully and reading the comments of course I realized about them. They looked really similar to the original but t\with the added functions. I am impressed with this..job. I see those tiny ball joins that make the little pieces of the fingers movable. Are you planning on making them a little big smaller for the 1/60 versions (Assuming they are smaller) I guess would be even more difficult. Heyy How did it go with the hinges you showed us on the other post for the broken ones for 1/60. Great job !!
  22. Ahhh haa.. As I said..Too good to be true.. They looked kind of outofdate. Thank you so much guys for the heads up!!
  23. Jasonc, have you gotten anything through over-drive-inc.com ? It looks they are cheaper and they also offer replacement parts for broken Yamato parts. I do not know how updated the site is but looks good..may be too good to be true. Thanks for your advice.
  24. Noooooo, I opened it and the hinges were broken..both of them! I bought it through Amazon.. What do you suggest me to do guys, any advice? Ggrrrrr. The arms get loose but other than that the figure is impressive.
