  1. Anyone who played the old TIE fighter PC game (and related series) will know that the TIEs not having shields or life support systems or hyper drives enabled them to keep their mass down which meant that they could fly circles around X-wings. They had great maneuverability where as the X-wings were tanks.

    But anyway, people hating on the new x-wing for its artistic license over real-world physics, while at the same time forgiving the old x-wing for the exact same thing for no valid reason is HIGHLY amusing. Hypocritical, even. ;)

  2. Finally got one. Thanks to all those who helped out :)

    Next on the list is a YF-21. But that's a story for another day.

    Edit: in the op I said that a VF-4 would be the end of my current collecting. Then the last post I say I'll be looking for a YF-21 next. Lol. This crap is addictive.

  3. Nope, mine had that problem. Did the nail polish fix. (FULLY moving the black glareshield into place actually makes it worse, 95% is a better fit for the nose, but was visibly misaligned prior to the fix)

    What's the nail polish fix?

  4. My order:

    Silverstreak

    YetiStand XL Arm: 7
    YetiStand Dual Arm: 7

    YetiStands adapters
    DX Banking Adapter: 4
    YA Banking Adapter: 2

    Valk specific adapters:
    Yamato 1/60 SV-51 adapter: 1
    Yamato 1/60 YF-21/VF-22 Battroid Stand Adapter: 1

    Other adapters:
    TF MP V2 Seeker Robot Adapter: 1
    TF MP V2 Seeker Fighter Adapter: 1

  5. I was thinking about doing a video, or pictorial to assist in doing this. What I like to do is apply it while the base pivot and base is assembled. Hold it bottoms up, and carefully and slowly pool it onto the tab from the bottom. The tab doesn't sit flush on the bottom, so there is a little "trough" you can carefully fill. The solvent typically seeps up the tab a bit. If it doesn't, you can pull it out a few millimeters and than re-seat it. The solvent will start to form a skin fairly quickly, so you need to do all of this in a short amount of time. "Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast". Try the solvent out on something else so you get an idea of the viscosity.

    Thanks Yeti, that's all the info I need :)

  6. So I got myself a medium bodied acrylic solvent so as to glue the yeti stand bits together but how is the best way to approach this without making a mess and ruining them?

    I'm scared :(

  7. I'm gonna have to put in another order for extra arms and adapters. And I'm gonna have to track down a YF-21 now.

    My wallet hates you Yeti.
