  1. I must agree with that. The best way to fix them is embedding them with putty, but be sure to use a hard one! Cianoacrylate glue ("super-glue") would also help. HLJ has lots of Kotobukiya poly caps references, in different sizes & colours. Prices range from 200 to 300 Yen: http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist.cgi?Ser...Poly+Unit&Dis=2 Aaaargh, if I had known it before...
  2. Hi everybody! I'm really happy that you liked it Just some answers: dyowelb: As you can see, this little guy is a heavily modified Bandai SD Valk. Most work went in re-positioning the limbs and head, in order to give him a less stiff pose. Most original joints were removed or covered up to hide it's toy origin. In exchange, limbs were attached using a ball-joint looking piece ( *Agh* If I only had real ball-joints... ) . Holes were filled with putty and some extra detail was added. Most scratch-build parts were done using Evergreen plastic strips & tubes. Gluing was done with an appropiate plastic cement (Tamiya, Humbrol,...) Milliput putty was used for filling, while surface finishing was done with Tamiya sandpaper. Paint was done mainly with Vallejo acrylic paints. No aerograph. Personally, I don't recommend painting small miniatures with aerograph. BoBe-Patt: Thank you for the welcoming!! Valk009: Sadly, this guy cannot be recasted (it's already painted ). Moreover, I've never done a recast! However, don't fool yourself. It may seem complex, but it just needs time, patience and the adequate tools
  3. Hi! Hehehe... This is my very first post in the Macrossworld forums! A few months ago, I bought a SD Strike VF-1A from Blackaces through eBay. I aaaalways wanted to have a big-headed valkyrie! However, I must admit that I felt a little disappointed when I opened the box. Bandai kits are sooo toy-ish... So I did some scratch-build and... VoilĂ ! . It does not transform, but I think it looks much more cooler than the original one. Hope you like it!
