I live in Paris and my collection is displayed in closed detolfs. Humidity and temps are no issue I believe.

Picts are coming soon...

It was winter and the temps have never raised higher than 25'C. I don't know, maybe the side effect of having panel lined the 19. However the red portion is a thick paint layer, so is more prone to react with the stand than the other portions

Amazing shoots, my new favorite computer wallpaper.

I just check after my Arcadia YF-19 and I am now a little pissed, because it lasted 1 year with a sticky feel, but without paint wearing out, but 3 months after my last cjeck, now the paint has wore off...

Yes for the VF-1D! But please, with the accurate canopy size!

Most parts are finished, my order only miss the "black steel" laser canon that is still not completed, so I think I will receive it by the end of this week

I am doing my best for these little dronies. I don't know yet if there would be a resin kit yet, but I know for sure that the first prototype is going to be very well treated ! I made my research about how to prepare WSF models, this is quoted from Shapeways forums, and I think this is the most complete method I foudn out

Can make one on shapeways for you!

If I understand the process, you have the salt in contact with the model only the time that you spray a layer of paint and let it dry, then you rinse the salt and clean the model. Repeat 2 times to apply several paint layers and you are done: no salt left on the paint.

Thank you Jasonc for the clarifications. I can see a few issues with resin casting this design: I have a few parts with complicated shapes that will need silicon-like molds so that they can be extracted from the mold once dry. But the part that makes me wonder the most is the lower part of the nose which is very complicated with an inner rail that accepts the laser canon. That means that I will need more time to make a few parts compatible to molding. This is why painting should be a faster and more elegant way to deal with this project. Can you PM me to discuss about that ?

Thank you ChaoticYeti, I will try to convince him, all the more so that I am also waiting for his VF-1SR kit. I just hope he has some time to spare on that project.

If you know a caster willing to make this drone I would love to make it happen.
