Chas

Yes you did! I didn't want to mention you by name, in case you wanted to keep that info private, but indeed, it was you, and again, I can't thank you enough. Sooo long ago, but I'm finally getting down to it!

Got some new clear plastic display boxes with magnetic door closures from Amazon to help with dust on my displayed models.

Just looking at all that photoetch raises my blood pressure @derex3592. Superb job! Figure I'd post up what I just started working on today. My next build will be converting the old Arii 1:48 Bronco II Gerwalk kit (from Super Dimension Century Orguss), so that it can switch between fighter and Gerwalk modes: I'd been searching for a kit of this for years (wanted to get the convertible version, but if you know anything about these kits they are very hard to come by and very expensive when found), so when I saw this one for a good price a number of years ago I jumped at it, and asked one of our members in Japan to help me secure it. He very graciously agreed and here we are. Anway, first order of business was opening up the top of the thighs, where they connect to fuselage. Right is before left is after. Doing this allows the legs to sit horizontal in fighter mode. Again right is before left is after. Gerwalk: Fighter: Some nice engineering built in to the design allowing for a pretty wide range of sideways swing in Gerwalk: That's all for now. More to come

That would be interesting to see. I'll have to keep a look out for any pics where modelers have made that swap.

Am I understanding this right? At about the 38/39 min. Mark in that video does he say that we would be able to replace the Armour Valk boosters with the super/strike pack boosters?

Thanks! 🤙

Possibly because of shelf/display in stores. As in a larger box drawing/demanding more customer attention and thus more sales?

Yes, the new legs are a great improvement. How do they look in fighter mode?

Sweet baby Jeebus! That's why Hobbysearch shipped mine EMS instead of surface small packet!

🤣 With that blue tape I would have guessed it was Max's Valkyrie, in which case that should probably read "position 639 of the Kama Sutra" 😉

Nice Job! Is that a custom mix blue, or straight from a jar? Looks perfect.

Preorder In! Been waiting for these!

To late for me, but if anyone wants inspiration:

That's what sold me. Pre-order in.

Holly crap! That is a stunning amount of detail! don't think I've ever seen the like in any toy or model of the VF-1 that's ever been produced. Forget the old Club M 1/48. THIS is the Ultimate Detail 1:55 VF-1! Congratulations on such a wonderful piece so far!
