    The super-glue trick tidied up my hyper-floppy SV-51's wings, so I don't worry anymore for any floppy wing
  2. Xigfrid
    This one! It really tells how big SV-51 is... if you consider how big already is the VF-0S ! Amazing shots

    Now I got a question if I really want a 0B: can I hope for its release after all the 0S, 0A, reactive armor, ghost etc? Or do I need to buy 2 VF-0D and 2 VF-0A to combine them into a VF-0B ?
  4. Xigfrid
    I don't have much info into the new TV serie, perhaps there are a bunch of repaints in it… Because I don't see Bandai investing in a whole new mold just for one shot (exception to the VF-27!) specially for a valk that appeared only in a game

    Really amazing weathering/tampos. Did you matt finish it ?
  6. Xigfrid
    Thanks, I much prefer the complete kit if you can spare some of your time in this project!

    That price tag made the decision difficult... Had to double check twice at different online shops before deciding.

    The vf-0 are my favorite valks, engineering speaking. They also remind me so much of the original VF-1s but more massive, aggressive look! I am firmly waiting for this release (gloups about the price), but I am so in for the Over versions.

    I used nail polish for that matter, but didn't move long enough before it dries up so now it's kind of stuck in the correct position lol! I could unlock it with a small cutter but I like it fixed in fact.

    Nice poses also!
  11. Xigfrid
    So true
  12. Xigfrid
    What about a Minmay Guard version next !? Would love that
  13. Xigfrid
    It is also always possible to tighten a loose valk.

    Amazing picts MJ. The super parts on the YF-29 bring so much to the bare plane! I'm glad I have them, now I just wish to have your weathering skills
  15. Xigfrid
    Amazing shoots. Now I want a CF 171 for these warhead beauty's!

    I have Tamyia-coated both my RVF and VF-25G super parts, and sure you don't want to over spray because the paint is slightly reacting to it (diluted by it). I have coated my Isamu's YF-29 also without any issue this time. I am kinda used to this Tamyia can and love it even if it can be dangerous if too much coat is applied in one stroke. Edit: I had so far near 0 issue with Yamato / Arcadia releases. Crossing fingers

    Hum that seems more subtle than I thought I don't have these kind of skills with pray cans so I don't really know what I can do. What if I pre-coat the YF-30 with Tamyia matte TS80, and would that protect the original bandai's black paint job ?
  18. Xigfrid
    Ha thank you for the advices Chaotic Yeti, Chyll2 and The Old Man. The quick answer is that I would like to turn lighter a portion of the wings (the outter black band) just like wm cheng did, but he did using airbrush technique. I would not test it directly on the YF-30. But as the test seems quiet simple (turning black into a lighter black), I will test different technique on a black surface to see whatever works. I want to try the drybrush as advertized by my reseller, but I will also try to test different levels of diluted paints. The Umbrol costs only 2,50 EUR, and I bet I can learn some useful techniques

    Just to follow this up, I went to a modelism retailer nearby and he advised me to "drybrush" with an Humbrol emanel grey paint. I just bought it and I will give it a test.

    Just pm'ed. I think I am one of these few having the supers in ordered, but missed this release during pre-order frame
  21. Xigfrid
    Thank you for the fast reply. I usually use the Tamyia top coat, the low pressure can ones. The result is very good. I should have a look if my reseller has a grey tint that would be transparent enough!
  22. Xigfrid
    Great paint fix Wm Cheng! The light weathering is also great. I wish I had a air brush too! Would it be an alternate method with a Tamyia coat or something similar that could do the same for the black borders w/out the air brush?
  23. Xigfrid
    Amazing, that makes me thinking of buying the incoming Arcadia 1J armored and upgrade it with your add-on if you make it available
  24. Xigfrid
    Yeah, but could be kool to swap the old fast pack on this release.
  25. Xigfrid
    This made me laugh! Nice idea
