Great, I'll keep an eye open. My vf-0s is feeling lonely on his shelf...
-
Let's hope so... For 20k yens or less, I might consider getting one.
-
I would love a VF-0A... I'm hoping for the next HLJ sale.
-
Another update: Received the 3D prints from Shapeways. Thanks a lot, ChaoticYeti, those are fine work!
-
Glad to hear so much praise about them! I felt I was the only one loving the good old 1/48's.
-
I got my first 1/48 not too long ago from Mandarake... and love the presence in a display case. My only others 1/60 vf-1 are v1 and the v2 tuxedo anniversary one. Still prefer the 1/48 for the size, but I fully understand the preference for the v2 1/60.

Is that the same (without the mirror of course)? http://www.hlj.com/product/YLSPPC-K82/Sup

Exactly, this piece should have been metal, but it might have scratched the plastic/paint at each transformation.

Quick update: I was able to cast a replacement using alumilite kit. I had a little left over from a past experiment with casting and too much spare time and gave it a try. I don't think the resin cast will last long and sadly, the silicon mold broke apart, but it was worth to try. Here a picture of the casted part.
-
The cat pics are hilarious... I am the only to blame. It's a hard learned lesson, always check i anything is leaning on the detolf door before opening it. More pics...
-
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, that might work... Probably if I can find two thin plastic washer, that might help to get some strength.
-
The tab is broken in half near the screw, hence gluing it is definitely not an option. I tried, but with the torque of the screw, the tab keeps breaking at the hole. Reminded me of my basic physics/mechanics class... Sorry for the crappy quality, but here is a picture of the arm.
-
Thanks, I'll post a picture asap. I'm not sure a plastic print will do, but at least it will keep the arm attached for display.
-
The left arm of my VF-0S broke, just where the screw connects to the large tab. It felt down of my detolf and hit the ground pretty badly. In dispair, I tried to glue it, but naturally, since it is on a joint, the glue is not strong enough. I really hope someone creates a replacement on shapeways... I found only replacement for the old yamato one. On a positive note, I have a brown VF-1A 1/60 (version 1), that felt at the same time. The left arm broke also at the shoulder, but the gluing process was successful.
-
I don't know, but I am interested as well... This might influence my decision.
-
I second that, wait for those...

I would like to paint a regular VF-1S 1/48 in a 1/60 Low-Viz Roy Fokker paint scheme. http://www.hlj.com/product/ymt00171/Sci I was thinking using a coat of Tamiya primer and then spraint paint Gunship Grey 2 (AS27). Would that match closely enough? Else, what would you recommand using? Any ideas for the yellow highlights are welcome.

Yes, they are selling 2nd hand. I knew it was second hand but I had positive experience with Mandarake and Amiami for 2nd hand stuff. This is the first time I am disappointed from a japanese hobby shop. Anyway, on the other hand, service from fromjapan was top notch.
-
I just received my first order from fromjapan. It was an excellent experience. However, avoid the web shop named surugaya-a-too. They sold me a dirty, yellowed VF-1S as a new one. Don't know what to do... may be open a case with fromjapan tomorrow.
-
Just started my collection... so just a few compared to you guys! Bandai Reissues VF-1S + FAST pack VF-1A Owned an old Takatoku VF-1S for 20 years (Highly damaged, but still standing ;-) Yamato 1/60 VF-1S VF-1A (Blue and Red) May be I will be tempted with an 1/48 one day...
-
Thanks, I will check that out! Although, they are watchable and still a very complete set, I I dont really mind not having any translation at all.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this board, so I was wondering if I was posting in the right thread. I searched the board, but I couldnt find if this topic has been adressed. I recently went to Hong Kong and bought this huge macross VCD pack 1-18 and 19-36... However, translation is only available in Mandarine and Cantonese on those. My question was, is there anywhere were I can get an English translation of those? Thanks!!
