Most should know Harley Quinn as well.

This is what I'm trying to emulate. Talking to the guy that made and programmed it, Wile Vale, at the moment. Luckily he is also from NZ so I can go and actually see this thing in the flesh! Some people are just freaky clever.

Well I got a lightning fast response from the Amazon Store I bought it through in Japan today. 15mins and I had an answer. They refunded my money in full including the freight costs on the spot with just my word on what had happened! They dont want the Tamiya kit back either so thats going up on the kiwi Trademe.co.nz site. And the money will be back in tonight so I can reorder the correct items! Pretty stellar service I'd say.

had to laugh, a set of VF-11 photoetch parts showed up today, along with what should have been a few Valk weapon sets and a VF-11E Thunder Seeker.... what I got was a Tamiya 1/20 scale 1977 Tyrrell F1 Car??? Love ya work Amazon!

Most of the weekend was spent out riding, watching the Winter Games and spray painting the hallway. No modelling progress unfortunately. On a plus not, my birthday presents all showed up from the kids... Alclad 9220 Airbrush set - from my daughter. 10 Alclad paints from my son. 1 VF Modelling Manual Master File and an Italeri Aircraft Carrier Deck and Blast Deflector to mold off from my youngest son. All in all, a good weekend.

http://starshipmodeler.biz/shop/index.cfm/product/2832_106/172-valkyrie-flight-deck.html I NEED THIS DECK!!
-
I see these pilots are still available for order on your Starforge site so will be buying a few sets of male and female ones this weekend.

Recieved my VF-25 set today - damn fine detail on the mesh sections!
-
Citadel is non toxic. I used to paint alot of 40K figures on commission for other soldiers at Trentham and Waiouru camps and had a bad habit of wetting and re-pointing fine detail brushes with my mouth. I'm mostly still ok. Picking up some Alclads tomorrow night from Hobbycity here in Auckland. 101 Aluminium 102 Duraluminium 104 Pale Burnt Metal 106 White Aluminium 113 Jet Exhaust 117 Matt Aluminium 119 Airframe Aluminium 120 Gunmetal 121 Burnt Iron 123 Exhaust Manifold $200NZD!

VF-1J “S-FAST PACK” Config. Ver. 1.1 W-St. – 1/72 HASEGAWA MODEL KIT
NZEOD replied to Andrea's topic in The Workshop!
Love this model! You've inspired me to try one! -
Update 20/8/15 VF25 Photoetch set arrived today - The last one I could find anywhere, found and bought through Buyee.jp Wasnt expecting miracles from this site but.... Well packaged Jasmine VF25 set arrived today at work! 5 days since arriving at the BUYEE Warehouse. First Italeri Aircraft carrier deck should be arriving by this weekend so I can begin taking a mold off it and making a 350x350 sized version of it. After seeing the Fastpack V1.1 on here I'm building one of those as well. Strung the LED Modules up last night and working on the ATTiny85 programming to get all 4 boosters and the main feet jets to light up correctly. Not happy with the lineart version way of mounting the lower boosters on the wing stores pylons. I would have expected them to be mounted to the body. They look like they would rip the wings to shreds and tear off mounted on the spindly pylon! The second issue I have with it is the lower boosters side mounted Verier thrusters... one nozzle is pointing straight at the rather angry Reaction Missile on the adjacent Stores Pylon! I'll be airbrushing up the booster nozzles in Alclad on Saturday, after a morning blast in the hills on the Triumph 675, to see how the LED Modules reflect off the Nozzle sides and fill them with light. Will be experimenting with making Resin and melted plastic lenses to go in the centre of the nozzle to help spread the LED light beam to 120°. Going to be a busy weekend
-
Are they real production paintjobs on actual operational jets? Damn!!! Also, new to all these Chogokin things... what does "DX-chogokin" mean or refer too? What scale are these? 1/60 or 1/72?
-
Will the Lancer pilots work in other 1/72 scale Hasegawa models?
-
Anyone know if anyone has made any 1/72 scale alternative pilot figures? The standard Hasegawa and Bandai ones arent too flash. How do these ones look?
-
That would be cool if you could.
-
yeah... I think I'll have to make my own. I only need the Exhaust turbine detail to go over the LED I'm fitting. I have the last VF-25 set arriving next week so I'll get them scanned.
-
This still going? If so I want: 5 x 272001 VF-25 Series 5 X 272002 YF/VF-19 Series 5 X 272003 VF-1 Cockpit 10 X 272004 VF-1 Intake and Nozzle 5 X 272005 VF-11 Thunderbolt
-
Hell yes. Will be doing a work in progress vid as well. Visiting Weta Workshops next week to talk to a mate there about the project as I may need to make the carrier decks from scratch. I need the planes sitting diagonally to fit in the 400mm x 400mm cases and all the Deck kits are 400 x 200ish with the catapult straight up. Heading to Cambrian Plastics (they made all my medal cases and the display cases for the items in the Ammo Wings IED and Ammunition museum) and after work tonight to get my quote for making the display cases. Hopefully not too crazy expensive.
-
I thought both the VF-1 and VF-19 are meant to be the same colours, the Purple/Blue with the gold highlights?

Update - Working on the coding for the Display Base lighting. The base is an Aircraft Carrier Catapult Launcher. In the corners will be an Amber hazard flasher Lining the Cat channel will be flush mount rectangular LEDs that will flash red in sequence from the plane out off the deck. They will change to Green. The Blast Shield will be a segmented Servo controlled item that will lift up into position from the deck. I'm hoping to get it to lift in segments slightly out of sequence to add to the realism. The little Adruino board runs all this and the plane lighting - Its a brilliant piece of kit!. Sequence will be as follows. 1. PIR picks up movement near the display and initializes the ATTiny circuit. 2. Tiny red Fibre Optic with be on the cockpit dash and flash like a car alarm. 3. Cockpit lighting will flicker on. 4. Deck Hazards will come on and flashing. Would love to be able to make them spin like real ones... 5. Engines on to idle - red to orange - Engines will throb, pulse and flicker slightly the entire time they are on as will the cockpit lighting. 6. Red cat lights start flashing in sequence down launch path. 7. Shield raises. 8. Throttle up to Blue/ Purple for a few seconds with each engine switching to full burn and back to normal slightly out of sequence with each other. Both feet engines for most, the Super packs as well for those with them. 9. Cat lights change to green flashers. 10. Engines slowly up to full burn again and hold for 10secs. 11. Deck lights to Red, engines rapidly back to normal then shutdown with a fading red glow without flicker in each nozzle. Cockpit lights off using a rapid fade and flicker. Dash light to flash red. 12. Cat lights off. 13. Shield down. 14. Deck Hazards off. 15. Dash light to off. 1 minute sequence. The programming is a MAJOR but its kind of satisfying as I'm getting each function coded and working. Something like this but busier as befitting a Veritech Era launch. http://www.airmodel.jp/review_century_f14b_santacat.html

http://scalemodeldb.com/paintcharts/vallejo helpful chart What model is it on and where on the model? There will be a substitute colour. Guessing its an out of production colour.

try to be helpful... the instructions are in Japanese. To the OT, take your time, plan is out as some parts need painting BEFORE final assembly - Turbine blades, engine exhausts, Cockpit details, Undercarriage wells etc. Clip the parts off the Sprue, dont twist them off as this deforms them. Use your cement (not superglue!) sparingly and get the parts together quickly once you apply the cement. It welds/melts the parts together so dont use too much and dont touch the join with a finger until its dry. Use Tamiya putty to fill join lines then fine sand paper to gently smooth it off when set. Use what ever you find/buy/make to rescribe any panel lines that need redoing after using the putty. Greenstuff 2 part putty is good for making/sculpting parts if needed but thats advanced stuff. Google using FUTURE Floor Polish on your model. Google assembly guides on how to put your models together as a guide. Take your time.
