  1. Which kit is that? Looks too good for the Arii.
  2. Watching Macross II with my son as we speak, and want to see this done too.
  3. Trimming the board with the dremmel worked out fine. I had my worries though...
  4. This guy has a step by step on his candy VF-25S, which I always thought looks yummy. http://www.graemenattress.com/wp/vf-25f-172-armored-messiah-alto-custom-2/
  5. As i recall, 2040 really picks up mid-way through. Solid anime, but not classic BGC.

    Really happy about the Spartan. Gutsy move by Bandai. Although I was hoping they would switch to a darker shade of military green, rather than the pea green.
  7. Thanks. Team effort! I also installed a 3.5v 500mah lipo battery pack (without causing a fire this time). Battery seems to work at the start, but then encounters a problem: It runs the leds and sound at the same level as USB power, but when the loop reaches the point to "attach servo", it pauses, blinks, and restarts the loop again from the beginning. It does not attach the servo and finish the loop. People run a servo on 4 AA batteries. Could it be I don't have enough mah? The volts shouldn't matter because the board adjusts to 5v anyway.
  8. We have volume! The little PAM amplifier board worked as per above, to replace the lousy transistor in the tutorials. So with the TMRpcm library, we can have sound playback in a sketch without any sound board. Just the Trinket and an SD Card.
  9. Nyanko, It even looks like a pirate! Give it a skull and cross bones.
  10. Try one drop of high quality clear nail lacquer. When it dries it should stiffen the joint. I found nail lacquer is better than nail polish. But I'm not a girl and I dont know the difference.
  11. I love my Bandai 1/72 Vf-1 (That's sarcasm). But its great for using as spare parts.
  12. I assume there is waterproofing required. Is it difficult?
  13. Your opinions on the shade. I'm going for dark.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Gotta be brave if the first thing you do with an expensive DX is to take it apart!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    45 young fart. And don't worry, u will soon find it on ebay for USD 750!
  17. All the customing and internal wiring is done, now need to make direct connections to the board. Dreading it... and the Kit Kat.as well. My sd card board is about 2mm too wide. Im planning to trim the sides, on the assumption that if I don't see anything there, it's safe to snip, right?
  18. Interesting. Do you prime the canopy before painting?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I thought I would only get Arad for the 31s. (Keiths Draken is a no brainer.) Now I have Hayate AND Messer. I didn't bond with any of the valks really, not even Arad since he and Mirage kind of faded out of the story. Probably will end up with Arad and Mirage too, in hopes that a rematch or movie announcent will help me decide which I will keep. The lackluster series actually resulted in me getting MORE valks, not less.
