BlueMax

Ah.... the master is back

Damn, its a good time to be alive...... I'm only away from the forums for about 4 hours (yes, I'm on this site anytime I'm on the web) and I come back to this! Phew!

Got mine a couple of days back. Someone was asking if the color tone compared to the CF is the same: The answer is NO.

Hm... i dunno, it sounds good to me though...

Yes, the Max DYRL? 1A ,and that was one of the earlier 1/48s, 3rd one I think. The Max and Millia TV 1Js came after that.

They are all 1/72 scale. BTW, I updated my count on page 3 of this thread: 401798[/snapback] Ah, I just remember a few people saying a while back that the 11 wasn't quite 1/72? Maybe I'm rememering wrong. 401863[/snapback] Nope, you did not remember wrongly. Some members ascertained that the scale was not exactly 1/72, more like something between 1/60 and 1/72

Just edited post#36 to update latest count Added: 1 X 1/60 VF-0S 1 X FP Stealth 1 X Hikaru VF-1S 1 X Roy VF-1S

I had my Hikky 1A perched on my (then) CRT monitor in battroid mode about 4.5 feet high. Then one of my pesky cousins had to shake my monitor and it fell, hit my keyboard table, bounched off and hit the ground, splattering the missles just about everywhere. I was totally gonna kill my cousin (that was my 1st and only 1/48 at that time, a penniless student and I had just exchanged my precious YF-19 ver 2 for it) Thank God it survived the fall with ZERO damage. Since then I've got a display case to keep all my valks in just to make sure I do not suffer a heart attack unnecessarily...erm..if it was ever necessary So, they are pretty durable, though I would never wanna tempt fate again.... lol~!

It can fold up till about 30 degress, but nothing more than that. Anything more, you have to pay for the consequences. I've learnt that the hard way, but managed to fix it after slight "surgery" , but some stress marks i can't remove no matter how much I try..

whoa.... really looking good!

Goldern Arms, Could you post a pic of the hinge you mention, as I'm really not sure what part you are talking about. I took a look at the VF-0S backpack last night to figure it out, but could only find one hinge which looks pretty big and solid and not fragile looking at all. Not doubting your word, I'm just honestly not sure what part you mean. Graham 400700[/snapback] Borrowing Kaiming's Pics The grey hinges are really kinda prone to stress.

So you tried to fold a part that isn't supposed to fold then Graham 400528[/snapback] It's supposed to fold slightly (about 30 degrees I suppose) when in fighter mode. Thats how it tucks into place. Blue Max-- You don't need to completely disassemble the backpack. You only need to slightly pry apart the end that connects to the back. I used my fingernails and a modelling knife for this. 400570[/snapback] Hey, thanks for the tip, will try it later

Thats exactly what happened to me as well. And I've tried to actually disassemble the backpack assembly, but seems that everything's glued shut quite tightly.

Hey, where've you been, sure as hell hasn't seen you around in a while, hope you are fine coz you sound as if you given up already.

No no... I'm sure we dun wanna see it!

Just got it a coupla of days ago as well, and I must say that it looks way way better than the pictures do. In fact, I would venture as far to say that I consider this set to be the best looking color scheme so far for the 1/48 valks, as far as the FP/strike combo is concerned

Same thing happened to me... I'm kicking myself in the ass right now....sigh...

Hey Graham, here! http://www.uberbotonline.com/munnyshow01.aspx and http://www.kidrobot.com/munny/about.html

Interesting... I'm very intrigued by this picture and decided that I wasn't doing something right with my transformation and after some fiddling around, realized that the arms must be in this position (totally flat and pressed down in fighter)in fighter before you can have any clearance for the gunpod. Anyway, finally managed to have just about 1mm of clearance finally.... phew!

yes the tyres do touch the ground. part of the reason is that when in fighter mode, although everything locks in place, the plane still experience some sagging (slight) in the midsection due to the weight. If not for the the bulb thingy on the gunpod, think it might juuuuuuust give the slightest of clearance. I'll try to give a pic when I get home to give all a view of the clearance (or rather, the lack of it)

realized that the gunpod doesn't really fit onto the arm grooves out of the box.. the hole in the handle was too small. had to file it a bit before i can get it to fit and realized that the gunpod does not have clearance from the ground when displayed in fighter.

... and thanks for the first shots of a panel-lined 1/60 Zero. Sorry you were so disappointed. 395867[/snapback] Hm... seems to be a matter of perspective and because of the FPs. This pic doesn't seem so different in size pic taken from toysdaily

Please do! I love the schemes that you did

Great stuff as always

Thats meant to fit onto the original stands. and it only comes with the vf-os, presumably only for the vf-o
