Answering stoooooopid questions like these. SUCKA!!!

What's the estimated weight of this kit?

Damn, now that's love for a man who loves a YF-21.

It's not that "you're not feeling it as much," you're just cheap. Bastid

Sweeeet, and they come with metal fastpacks!!

The head split down the middle and then the lens will pop out. Keep your eye ono the eye. Next, remove the headlasers held in place with screws. The neck is self explanitory. Use a very sharp exacto to split it open. Go slow and steady. Just be very careful and have bandages handy. Good Luck.

Just mocked everything up really quick. These are probably the last pics you'll be seeing for a while. I'll finish this and begin the next project. *The thrusters in the booster are just used as fillers. The backpack still needs the newly designed hinge. You can see how far back the backpack sits compare to the corrected position of the booster.

Almost done.

Use auto body filler. It works great and sets hard and solid as a rock.

doh, dee, doh, dee, doh.

la, de, de, da, de, da.

Is SK standing (all pimp like) in the prototyping sector of Bandai? Awesome!! That's a serious valkyrie hangar.

It's quite simple to dilute paints. At a ratio of 2:1, you would take, for example; 2oz of paint to 1oz of thinner (or whatever you wish to use as a paint thinner). You can sometimes eyeball the ratio, but if your doing a custom color use a dropper or a measuring cup (or jar). Or vice versa to use as a lighter coat. There really is no specific dilution formula, it's more of a preference that will set your standard for applying paints.

Donation? I love donations. Just send them my way.... ...and thanks!

It's a 1/72 provided by one of our resident wonders. Excellent job, HWR.

Still waiting. But while they're taking their sweet time, I could be done with all the valkyries in my sig.

These are basic parts. The really cool stuff is the design for the head and neck.

...and the beat goes on...

It does but a new backpack hinge will be designed to utilize and set the the booster and backpack in the correct position as the lineart.

You can get an idea of the profile if you look at my avatar. The 1D is done. The Ostrich will feature having the head tucked in during non-armoured fighter mode and a protruding head during Super fighter mode. Took me a while to figure it all out. All I need now is to complete the armour and minor details.

The vaccuform tray is actually from a Joons box (or any other knockoff that had this type of insert).

Thanks for the info. Rush job or not, the valkyrie looks fantastic. I Blame >A-Hole<.

Still working on the Ostrich........
