The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Xigfrid replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I don’t collect TF, but my kids have a few MP and I really see me buying this Arcee for my girl -
Yes, as stated these antennas are not mine. These look like recasted one with a water decal to copy exactly the original one. I think the price is great regarding the quality (at least what we see). However if this antenna is not good, you can still grab one of my 3D printed ones
-
I just saw that and decided I could try the spare missile pylons. Although the antenna is looking great too. https://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=581216915966

Thanks Jason, I think the paint reflects how much I like this model I haven’t transformed it in battroid yet because I need to finish the fighter other colors: metallic and black color. Thankfully I got a second that I can transform while waiting. Concerning your concerns about the paint scratches, there will be in some tight places I will need to sand a bit and make it looks like standard weathering. Although my main concern was that the head paint wouldn’t hold but it holds just fine in fact

vf-31 siegfried WIP: Alternate Weapons Pods for VF-31
Xigfrid replied to Sanity is Optional's topic in The Workshop!
I will grab one to test it out -
Hey thanks I need to apply a few decals and phosphorescent paint before taking picture of the fighter mode. Then touching up the battroid mode, pictures and after that... I will paint the second VF-9!
-
No finished yet, but it is already looking nice to my eyes
-
Unfortunately it doesn’t. I have tried to put a cover in the first prototype but it wasn’t very efficient so I have removed it in the V2 though.
-
Getting slowly there but the excitement is rising!
-
Great!
-
I don’t know who made this mold but compared to the 1:72 which has been reused already, the DX mold seems to have been thrown to the bin
-
@rdrunner your display looks super great with these leds. Are these the official IKea led stripes?
-
This is nice to see others’ work in progress! On my side, I have done all the masking on the remaining parts and now I am just waiting to have some time to spray them in one time. I just realise that I haven’t pictures, will post them later

vf-31 siegfried WIP: Alternate Weapons Pods for VF-31
Xigfrid replied to Sanity is Optional's topic in The Workshop!
The description says this pod is equipped with a long time charging device that stores all the energy that is not consumed by the aircraft and the armor parts and converts it into plasma blasts. To me the one in the circle is able to make the larger “weed boom” big blasts and the two smaller canons make the “pew pew” rail gun like shoots. -
I don’t know if the small round magnets would be strong enough. If they are not, you can take larger rectangles and glue them inside the leg at the surface level. You have up to 2mm clearance inside the leg for the magnets if I recall well. The outside magnets would be easily hidden if you make landing gear covers in open position

Hi guys! I have been recently working on it, coincidence? I am slowly updating the model with proportions changes and a few design improvements. That’s a very slow process because I have a lot of things to do in parallel. For the curious and if you don’t know yet, I have created a FB where I post various things related to my custom prints and paints. I am also posting the less relevant updates there. https://m.facebook.com/Xigfrids-Customs-1935018056798394/?ref=bookmarks

I can’t believe this model went to waste?! At least the creator could have make a private copy for himself.
-
So what happened to his great future project toy?
-
So do I !

Any real color theme will look sick on a VF-0D

I am feeling like @Archer on this, this SV-51 has been in dev for 2 years (near 3) and I can’t see why it didn’t went into production earlier. They have been reducing their PF prices for the VF-1 releases probably because they have been hit hard by the VF-1S from Valkyrie Factory. In fact I can’t imagine a sustainable model for a company producing only one new mold every 3 year. And I still don’t understand why they don’t plan to update their VF-1 mold to be at least on par with the Bandai engineering. I hope for the VF-0D PF version but it seems that it is not a highly awaited model. And we don’t know yet what is next plan for Arcadia if any

Woah! I never could imagine the accurate movements could be done at 48’ or 60’ scale. Amazing -
You have reached the next level! Really nice model indeed
-
I have tried to follow all the advices and when back to grey primer then white primer, masking and spraying TS-8 lacquer red with an airbrush. I have to say that I LOVE airbrushing (my double action system at 30$ Including the pump is just 100 times better than spraying directly from the can). This is only the third time I use it and I think I have mastered it now.
