armentage Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 MAKES ME ANGRY! I spent 15 minutes searching on the carpet for a small black-text sticker, only to find it glued to my foot... but my Valk sure does look a lot sweeter, and that's only 4-hours into the stickering process! (cutting out the customs takes time) How many hours will the whole process take? I'll let you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-0S FAN Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Applying stickers, that's what I hated on my Yamato VF-1 toys . Hopefully, the 1/60 VF-0S will have a maximum painted details Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connor99 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 (edited) I totally agree. Cutting those custom stickers and slapping them on a 1/48 is one pain-staking process. If not for the fact that they make the valks look even sweeter, I probably will think twice about having to use 'em .

(cutting out the customs takes time) Been There done that as well. I've found stickers in my bed room months after detailing a valk. I'ts never taken me over 4 hrs for a single valk. I don't add them all, especially the no step ones. I usually add only a few of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I spent 15 minutes searching on the carpet for a small black-text sticker, only to find it glued to my foot... ... haha! mate, i can relate to that. I only own two '48s so far and after the first one with all the applied and now peeling Yamato decals i left my other valk (H-1J) un-decaled besides the main ones. And for the fact it will be displayed with the GBP and the decals won't be seen anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armentage Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 After much delay, here are pics of my VF-1S/FP with about 75% stickers applied! Work keeps me busy and I don't have much time during daylight hours to take photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bub Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Which custom stickers are these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armentage Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 They are the Takatoys stickers, I bought them from TwinMoons for about $9.99 each (Strike set and the base set) You're going to find that half of the stickers you need to do the strike pack will come on the base sticker set. THe base set as about 5x as many stickers as the original sticker sheet that came with my VF-1S Roy. A small magnifying glass helps TONS in trying to identify the stickers on the sheet. Make sure you have a sharp X-acto knife and a cutting board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I spent most of last night stickering my VF-1S Roy and re-doing the Fast Packs with Roy's makrings using the Takatoys stickers as well.... I do everything except the wing NO STEPs...I LOVE all the little warning texts and such, But I just cant bring myself to do all of those NO STEPs on the wings.... I also added some extra markings to the Striker armor that looks really good.... might have to take a pic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1_soulja Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Applying all the stickers to a 1/48th is tedious work to say the least. I've only done 2 out of the 7 I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
