Skull-1 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Particulary interested in elbow joints. If ANYONE has these please let me know. Will post a pic if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanata67 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 arggggg. Arms are the hardest part to find besides unbroken backplates and tail assemblies. Figure out a way to do the mod with leg parts and I can surely help you out. I'll look through my box of parts later today as I might have one or two elbow bits that I don't have the rest of the arm to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull-1 Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Argh!!!! Thanks for looking. Let me know if you dig any out. How hard would it be to recast the parts I need? I don't even need the whole thing just the rotating section. Wow. What a mess I am in... I have only one left so my next custom will be a stiff leg. Are bootlegs still out there?

LL Cool VF1J Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Argh! funny how the bootlegs have become more rare than Bandai. There is somebody on ebay selling a set of 3 for $15, but he wants $15 shipping too....yikes! Ill see if I can find the part you need. I know I had some custom boots that I was doing a while back. edit: forgot my argh! Edited January 20, 2006 by LL Cool VF1J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, any spare elbows would be much appreciated. If I could ever figure out how to cast some I think I could make them for all my Valks from scratch and thus spare this frustration. Many thanks.

Skull-1 Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 Silverdragon. Got it. Excellent. Here is the question then... Are all recasts done in resin or do some use plastic? Is resin more or less durable than plastic? Also, where do I find some Wave or other aluminum ball joints? I may be forced to go that route.

Neova Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) You know you guys can pickup the Galaxy Defender VF-1S bootleg at Walmart for ~10-15 bux and pull parts off that? Might be a way to scrouge for parts for you 1/55 guys. I don\'t have any 1/55 so don\'t know if the parts are exact. I should go visit their factory and see what other bootlegs are out there. Heh. Edit - Picture is of a new version with lights and sounds! Interesting for 1/55 modders! Edited January 21, 2006 by Neova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple wallmarts many times and never. A friend works at wallmart and never... maybe only wallmart in cali? WTF. I need a booxed one but only ever see the loose ones from asia for $20 plus another $10 to ship the box. I'd rather buy a bandai reissue for that price. If you find some domesticly let us know.

LL Cool VF1J Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I have never seen these at wal-mart either. There is about 10 walmarts in my area or at least within 100 mile radius and I scope them out pretty much weekly. I have seen the other stuff that company makes for walmart, but I have never seen the jetfire bootleg except on ebay. They are not in Cali, I can tell you that much.

Vermillion One Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The armor is custom. I believe it was made by Rosario Love. It is finished, but one of the boosters needs to be attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermillion One Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The valk needs a lot of love. I found it in storage and it at least needs a front landing gear.

I don't use plastic i just use resin to do all my final work. Resin is not like plastic but almost close enough to make stuff look good. If you want you could make me a master and i will work from that. I will file down a master part for you to work with. 362893[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
