Slave IV Posted May 29 Posted May 29 I was about to ask if that stand was included in an official release since I've never seen it before. Quote
Shawn Posted May 29 Posted May 29 Wow-that armor is really cool! Thanks for sharing. Guess for the leg armor there just isn't another method for securing other than the strap Quote

Guess for the leg armor there just isn't another method for securing other than the strap There’s a more elegant solution. I prototyped it back in 2001 but I was a super-poor grad student and didn’t have on-demand access to a CNC at the time. I’ve nearly got my workshop up and running. Finally. I’ll upload some pix of the full armor set at some point: my honey-do list dominates most of my free time. 🤪 Quote

Powered Convoy Posted June 18 Posted June 18 I won this 1/55 VF-1S Hikaru. Anyone know if it's a matter of being in the wrong box or is it some other release or knockoff that came in a Max VF-1J box? Quote

No, I don't think it's a nock-off! I think sadly someone was lazy and put a Bandai VF-1S in a real Takatoku VF-1J box! Sad since the box is somewhat of a good shape! Maybe someday you can find the Maximilian Jenius VF-1J and put it back in this box! Quote

Also need I find the super parts for the S now. 😅 Quote
