Luckily we don't have to deal with Bandai-levels of insane preorder madness on these suckers.
-
Just casually masking my canopy this afternoon
-
The Thirst for valks on this board is real
-
I actually glued my wing flaps in place with superglue because I was so sick of them moving :0
-
I do agree on the comment about panel lines looking pretty deep, but would have to see one in person before I made any final judgement. One big plus for the Plamax is if it has closed landing gear bay doors included as well
-
I bet that's prolly how it would end up :/ on a side note... my DYRL SSP order was created 13 months ago at NY..... wonder what would happen if I asked them for store credit and then applied it to a TV SP order LUL
-
Man I really hope later on we get M&M 1J sets as tamashii web specials. Would hate to have to fight the F5 war for those.
-
The Maruyama really is the best VF-171EX. Cannon Fodder Grey + cannon fodder pilot + Sheryl artwork. what is there to hate?
-
Man I kinda miss those days. Kevin Lam of Valk Exchange and Jerry Tsai of VF1x.com. Got my first yammies from them back in the day.
-
paint makes the hip joints work well so i'm sure nail polish would too. I would avoid using any fricition additives to the shoulder joints though, because the material is very soft and it's a tiny pinhead-sized ball joint. For the knees just use some hot water to make the sides fit firmly
-
I think in 03 there was a website renewal and everyone who was an existing member then had their accounts transfer over which is why most the old accounts you see have a 2003 start date.

*looks at new Plamax 1/72 pics* oh damn that looks nice! *looks at 40+ unbuilt 1/72 hases sitting in boxes behind him* ...................maybe a pass
-
Making more copies of the Sentinel Legioss pilot for use as fixed-pose figures (resin is too weak for ball joints so just trimmed everything off and will be doing Paperclip Pins + super glue.) Original is on the left, still deciding if I want to paint him as stick , or use one of the copies as a stick pilot figure instead
-
To make my shoulder move I put some WD-40 on a pin and then touched it to the joint. was able to move it after some coaxing
-
There's just a lot of things you can do with the extra size in 1/48 that you can't do in 1/60, and Bandai has much greater manufacturing capacity than Arcadia so they can tampo a 1/48 valk and sell it for 200 while Arcadia can't. Funny enough cannot seem to remove the entire nose-section and mount it on an arm like the Yammie V2 could, just for that one episode
-
One nitpick I have about Bandai is the teeny weeny pilots
-
I painted up the recast copy of the pilot. Was a lot harder than I thought it would be :0
-
ACk wrong thread LUL was on my phone
-
Sentinel did a second run of their very popular Stick / Ray mospeadas shortly after release so hopefully they do a second run of stick's legioss too in the same manner since it's sold out just about everywhere
-
It's all really preference. Deep down it all boils down to: NEW VALKYRIE (even though I have like 5 of everything already in other scales), BUY, CONSOOM At least it's not like smaller series like Patlabor where most new lines fizzle out after AV-98 1/2/3 so all everyone has is like 30 ingrams and like 3 non ingram labors (if I just buy the ingrams I already ahve 10 of to support this line they'll make non ingram labors yeah yeah *shakes back and forth*)
-
really? it's the same reason yamato did the reverse and went from 1/48 to 1/60 after the 1/48 series
-
I recasted the legioss pilot. There was no way to get resin ball joints to work at this size or at my skill level so I just posed and glued the copy to get it to sit in there.
-
oh god, i have horrible memories of the useless blue tube. I always went right for the red tube at kmart back in the day :0 I didn't use a better cement for about 15 years and then I discovered Testors model master thin cement..... used that for a few years before discovering the joy of Tamiya thin :0
-
well at least we can say it blows away the 1/48 and 1/60 v2 yammies in expense
