  1. I'm down for 2 stands

    STANDS

    yeti stand alpha: 1

    yeti stand alpha pegged: 1

    YetiStand XL Arm: 2
    YetiStand Dual Arm: 2
    YetiStand Elbow: 1

    ADAPTERS

    1 arcadia yf-19

    2 dx renewal standing

    3 dx renewal bank

  2. If still available

    -2 yeti stands

    adapters

    1 arcadia yf 19 (whatever is necessary for battroid and for fighter banking)

    1 yamato (bank and battroid)

    2 dx renewal (battroid and bank)

    2 XL arms ( whatever is necessary to do the dual jet set up pictured in the yf-19 and vf-11 image you posted.)

    let me know what you need form me.

  3. I'd like to submit Bruinsinla for the straight shooters list.

    The transaction happened so fast and easily that it was almost as if my new awesome arcadia yf-19 had been in my greedy hands the entire time. I highly recommend this seller for his honesty, speed and good price.

    Thanks!

  4. Mine is tucked away in the closet. What problems are you referring to?

    I had read somewhere that the kit required a lot of modification to build properly. I actually already put it together, and didn't really have any major problems. Granted my experience is limited, so the end product is not ideal ( alot of parts are misaligned and some stuff is way too loose, but what can I do? The only thing I am curious though is about what kind of putty can you use if you want to cover up a screw hole and re drill to adjust the fit better. If you have any recommendations I'd be curious. Oh and if your interested in selling that vf-5000b for a good price I'd be curious about that as well? you wanna sell it? eh?

  5. Thanks! I think I am leanign towards number 3, but I got time to digest that decision for a bit, until I get my new airbrush compressor.

    As to how I am gonna go about it. I am gonna disassemble the toy and paint everything individually. Its gonna be mainly an experiment to see what it takes to maintain transformability. Mostly a good and through priming and clear coating are gonna be my focus.

    I had a good time minimally costumizign this guy( yamato yf-19 battroid) to change the cheap plastic look to something a bit more respectable.. All he required was disassembling and masking. ( I think I primed him too, but I might have been lazy about it)

    I am pretty excited to begin doing this , mostly cause I just received my studio halfeye yf-19, and I'm really looking forward to doing a good job on that one. When I was 16 I built one but it was too complicated and i had to permanently set it in battroid mode, so this time I want the whole thing to work.

    Here are some pics of they toy repaint and the of yf-19

    2, 3, 6. Looking forward to how you get this all done.

    I'll start posting pics of the disassembling soon, along with comments of when I screw up!

  6. Hello! I am new to the forum, and i figured i would get a project started in order to get myself back into macross model kit building mode, in preparation for the soon to arrive studio halfeye yf-19 I just bought.

    So a few years back when the hi metal lines started, i got ridiculously excited about a yf-19 and yf-21 coming out (those for me were pretty much my dream toys) and I felt that the hi metal line was getting stronger with every new toy. To my dismay everyone else in the world disagreed and didn't like them that much, so they cancelled the line and my dreams with it.

    So I bought one of the vf-19, even though I don't really like that design that much, just cause it relatively resembles the yf-19. So now that there is no hope in hell of getting my yf-19 I decided to just repaint this toy bacause I just wanted to look better than that crappy blue plactic color. I dont really want to paint it the blue of the orignal mech so I made some photoshop paint overs, over the a picture of the toy in order to decide which color scheme to go with.

    At this point I'm just looking for feedback on the paint schemes, opinions, recommendations, reference, any comments or preferences anyone has would be apreciated (choose a number if you like one)

    Cheers!!!!
