    Paid for mine. Too bad it's almost 7 pm on Friday in Japan, meaning it won't ship out till Monday.

    In stock at some places now. Eagerly awaiting payment requests now. My HLJ order will have to wait until next month to ship, but at least I can ship my Amiami order right away. Can't wait to get this baby in hand!

    Wait, you're not doing it right.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Lolicon replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    At least there isn't any glitter on the canopy...

    I saw that episode. You never actually get to see the ship. It's only shown as a picture on a wall display. That's Enterprise in a nutshell: tell all about it but never actually show the audience the cool stuff. I have all the other Enterprises but don't have this one.

    Just masked and painted them in place to avoid messing anything else up (which I did anyway). Next time I'll try and see if I can remove the gears.

    Do it! I didn't think much of it till I compared it to unpainted pics; it makes a big difference! I'll probably end up painting all my Bandai valks' gears. Me too. With all the improvements on the 31, I wish they had spent a few extra yen painting the landing gear. I appreciate Yarcadia's attention to aircraft details even more now. I used some Tamiya white surface primer first so the paint would stick easier to the metal.

    Wow you made that with estimates off the top of your head? That's pretty damn impressive. Thanks for the info! Wish I had known this sooner.

    Although time is not a fixed constant, since the release is on a single point in space and time, it's the same number of days till release wherever you are on the planet.

    This one's for you, sir. Before: After:

    Reopened for awhile now at Amiami. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-023079

    Nice setup! Now I kinda want to buy a ghost set...
  13. Lolicon
    Yeah that's what I meant.
  14. Lolicon
    I am a consumer whore so I will buy the Arcadia YF-21 and Bandai VF-22 if they ever released them.
  15. Lolicon
    Yeah that's pretty much exactly how it's done.

    After drawing in the panel lines with a mechanical pencil, I just use the Tamiya weathering master kit. Just brush it on with a Q-tip (I don't really like the official Tamiya applicator) and use the clean side of the Q-tip to smudge/blend it. If you mess up, you can just rub it off with a moistened cloth or Q-tip. When you're all done, just apply a clear coat over everything to keep your work from rubbing off. It's really easy; if I can do it, anyone can! Due to the glossy finish of older DXs, you'll need to apply a matt coat first before using the weathering kit, as it does not stick well to glossy surfaces. Thanks to MJ for the heads up on that! This was the first Bandai valk I've detailed like this so it was good to know. For Yamato/Arcadia valks and newer Bandai valks, the weathering kit has no problem sticking directly to the matt finish plastic; no need to apply a matt coat first.

    That thing looks so badass. I would definitely buy one if they made a VF-25 version with removable EX gear for the pilot figure.
  18. Lolicon
    Congrats on the VF-4! I suppose one could live with a VF-4, if you call that living. Nice score! But does that mean you won't buy a future Arcadia YF-21?
  19. Lolicon
    Same here. I have a Nexus 6P and for 99% of my needs, the camera is fine. But for taking really high quality pics of things like valkyries, it's lacking. Just can't justify spending a lot of money for something I do so infrequently when that money can be spent on more toys. Though I really wish I had a macro lens...
  20. Lolicon
    Wow! That looks fantastic! Yes bring on the rest of Delta squadron! And release the SMS squadron too!
  21. Lolicon
    Not sure why you have quotations around "losing". Do you think lost packages are only metaphorical? If you have never lost a SAL package, then good for you. However, the world doesn't revolve around you alone, and packages do get lost. Last year goddamn USPS lost not one, not two, but three SAL packages of mine. Four if you include an item I sold on ebay, which USPS managed to lose on a 2 day domestic trek. So yeah, stuff gets lost and with as many packages as HLJ probably sends out, it adds up.
  22. Lolicon
    Thank you, kind sir. I think I need to get myself a new dedicated camera. Phone camera just doesn't cut it, even if it is a really good phone camera.

    Battroid mode.
  24. Lolicon
    Just a mechanical pencil. Low tech solution. Gerwalk mode.
  25. Lolicon
    Thanks! And argh! You just had to point out the landing gears! I thought of painting them but skipped it out of laziness. Now they're really sticking out and I really will have to paint them! At the rate I'm going, I'll have the entire SMS Skull Squadron done in about 15 years.
