@Xigfrid will you eventually release the V2 on shapways?

Hands down, the VF/B-22A

Really love your photography Saburo! 

I was just thinking about how there isn't any stampede valk kits and then here you are, doing just that.

Did Arcadia keep the ratchets on the ankles or did they opt for some ball and hinge joints. 

Ratchet pullout, then just a big solid foreward/backward free hinge. Little disappointed on that one, I mean it's not like bandai copyrighted the ball joint.

Cool pic! Looks like the Valk is extending out of the box. 

Thanks man! I have a poor camera and an even worse apartment mess. Seemed like a good idea to use the box as a backdrop.

Very sturdy in Gerwalk! Considering some of the things said about the yamato toy, this is very nice. The hinged shoulder and locking piece is very good at keeping the wings from falling backwards, and the hinges seem to hold well for now. Only concern is the right shoulder pivot being slightly loose, but still holds nicely when left alone. Careful when pulling out the landing gear for the first time too!

How are the transformation gaps looking?

Guess I'm the 1 in a million. Then again, I don't suppose the SV-51 is in huge demand.

Has anyone else ever used 1999.co to purchase valks? They're my go to but I've never done a pre-order with them before.

Last off topic post- My personal favourite valk of all time is the YF-21/VF-22. The zentrandi design motifs combined with a YF-23 black widow body was just beautiful. While I know the chance is next to none, I hope bandai releases a DX VF-22 because of it's brief use in delta, like they did for the 19 in the frontier movie.

Same here. On a side note I find it slightly disappointing that some of the most interesting valks designs are the most underappreciated in the fandom because they aren't used by the MC of a series.

Hobby search re-opened pre-orders, but they were closed for a while.

Is that a flippy top I see? Nice

Thanks for the update Jason! Almost over the mountain eh?

How are things looking Jason?

Many thanks 

Good to hear Jason!

Do you have any pics?

Yeah, what's been going on with this lately?

So, just to get things straight. The gloss finish is good for putting the decals on, but the matte finish is not. Right?

Looks good jason!

Item found. Mods please remove thread.

Thank you!
