  1. I can't recall the RVF-25 CF, but there are 2 RVF-171, the CF and Lucca's RVF-171 EX. So there you have 2. Plus the YF-25. I don't think will see a YF-24 any time soon. Definitely, the vf-25 mold has become to Bandai what the vf-1 mold for Yamato/Arcadia. They can keep on releasing new schemes and re-releases that we will keep on buying them.
  2. "rare item"? and the vf-9 and vf-14 are out of the question...., my wild guess, Macross Plus ghost x-9 or Mylene's VF-11 Kai. Or maybe the VF-17 Kai. Kinda hopping I'm wrong though, would love to see a vf-11c armored
  3. Did I understood wrong or is It 7 molds plus the vf-1? In that case you are actually missing 2.
  4. It's for the V1. There is no renewal version for that set. I don't know if they would fit the renewal though, has anyone try that?
  5. I was going to say that. The are similar in design and even have similar colors. I'll go for the vf-27. Is a newer toy with lots of gimmicks, plus that price for a Nora is just too much. If you are willing to spend $400+ on a toy, wait some time and preorder the new yf-19 and you'll provably be much happier than with an old Nora sv-51.
  6. Any news on a preorder date? Sorry if it's been already asked, but Ive been away for a week with no internet access
  7. Thanks for clarifying that Guys! I was sure it was because of that.
  8. Looking good! I know it's because it's the prototype but, it looks a bit..., gappy. Anyways, its amazing, can't wait
  9. Looks awesome! Is the one thing Arcadia is missing. Though I agree with Mommar, too much animagic, it just won't fit.
  10. I think last years announcements for this year (RVF-25 renewal, VF25G renewal, VF27 "renewal" and monster Vajra) where announced in the Tamashii Nations event (not entirely sure though). This year is held from Nov 1st to Nov 3rd. So I expect Bandai's announcements (if any) for about that date
  11. What's Michael looking at?? He seems..., distracted.
  12. Great review Jenius, as always. So I finally got mine. I'm very happy with it I must say and I'm glad I got it. That being said, I don't know if I would have got it if I had the v1. I actually got if because of that, I missed the first run of 27's. I would have liked a non super pack bundle, to save some 50 bucks, the 27 in my opinion is already a super valk, no need for an extra super pack. Finally, I'm a bit disappointed with the articulated hands, considering what Bandai achieved with the latest Gundam 1/100 MG kits and their hands. A $60 sinanju kit has full articulated hands with independent fingers and this $250 toy doesn't.
  13. I hope credibility towards the 171 mold doesn't affect too much Bandai's decision upon releasing new toys. I'm still hopping for an RVF-171 Lucca
  14. Thanks again guys, glad you like it! Thanks Bowman, It is transparent, it's the same material as the bubble actually, but I haven't modeled the cockpit..., yet, and that's why it shows as black. I actually have not planed to do it, it's quite intricate. I might do a low poly version of it if it look too bad with nothing inside.
  15. Thanks Guys! There's always room for improvement, critique is welcome and very much appreciated! I do agree with you, but I'm going to use the show to excuse myself. There a scene at the end when Guld is chasing the ghost, where they go ultrasonic and the paint on the 21 goes off. You can see there as if it only has one layer of blue paint and a gray metal underneath, you can't clearly see if its a shiny aluminum like metal, but at least its gray. So I went for that (only I guessed shiny metal and not just gray) Anyways, I also think is too shiny, it's a separated material, so I might play with it a little more once I'm done with textures. Thanks again guys!
  16. Hello Guys! Update time! here's what I have so far. Might do some changes but this is the idea. I used Tenjin illustrations for reference, so some markings are just like his
  17. Not sure if I would buy one since I have enough VF-1's, but I would like to see Bandai making a 1/60 vf-1 line, as much as I would like to see Arcadia making a 1/60 VF-25 line. It would at least drop the prices a bit I guess.
  18. I think last year was October. Bandai announced the RVF-25 renewal, the Super VF-27, the VF-171 CF and the Monster Vajra (which never came) Come on Bandai, we need a RVF-171 Luca!
  19. Anyone has a high resolution image of the decals sheet on Hasegawa's yf-21 kit? I'm trying to read what the hell does it says on the small markings on the front with no luck. I have Yamato's 1/60 manual, but it does not reflect those markings
  20. Hello all, thanks for the comments, I'll try to post some progress soon. Well, I haven't thought about it. The plan is to model the YF-19 as well and set a scene in the desert with New Edwards at the back. But I might just do that after all.
  21. Thanks! Let me just tell you that it's impossible to fit the arms and legs inside that plane, it's driving me crazy. Legs end up being too small and the arms too big. I'll have to do 2 sets, one for fighter and another for gerwalk and battroid. I been testing some materials, the idea is to create different layers. Rust (not much): Base metal: Color: I'll have to play around with the masks and the different layers. Lets see how it goes
  22. Thanks Kurisama! I was looking for those pics! I remembered the arm braking but was too lazy to watch M Plus again The only problem with that design is that it doesn't allow a full 180° bend.
  23. Thanks for the input guys! but as I said, I have to follow something and there is a lot of anime magic on this model. Anyways, I'm not looking to create the most accurate 3d model of the YF-21, but to create a nice piece of CG art. Here's what the arms look like. I added a few robot-like parts to fill in the holes. I also modeled the legs, but have no render of them. And here's what it looks like with everything on. I'm basically done with the model. On to texturing now...., this might take a while
