::NXS:: Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 OK. I have some attachments that came with the VF-0 to a display stand I cannot find anywhere. I've seen so far the Macross ones that look like the ARMD cranes that show up in Do You Remember Love?, the Flexidisplay ones (unavailable right now..... from LAFT) and the one that comes with the SV-51. What's my best option? I know the Flexys are nice, but dunno if they are gonna show up again. Then the question about the attachments. Do they work with the Yamato stands? I guess the Bandai Action base is too small/weak to hold a heavily armed VF-0A Angel right? If anybody can point me in the right direction, it will be very appreciated. Banzai!

::NXS:: Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 This pic should be helpful. O well. There was a time, when I felt really happy with my grey panel lines in my VF-0. And then you show up with this! Man, awesome!!!!! Wanna see more pics. This raises another question of mine. What are your thought on repainting Yamatos or any transforming toy in general? Like i felt temped myself several times, just don't have the time to do it. I guess my two worries are the paint scratching and getting to a point where you can't dissasemble/reassemble something because the way it's put toghether at the factory. I know these are almost naive things to ask, but I'm sure you know better. Anyways, any thoughts are always welcome. And Jenius, thanks for the pic+review, very helpful. So you run that website? HAHA, I have read through it many times, let me tell you you're doing a good job! I found the stand at Amazon, so I will most likely get it tonite or tomorrow. Again guys, thanks a lot.

pochimus prime Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 has anyone tried using the gundam stands? they seem like good, cheap alternatives I know they'll work well in fighter mode, but I don't know if they'll hold up valks in battroid.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I dunno if there is a way to make them bigger, but they a short arse stands, not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guessed as much I was looking for a cheaper alternative to the Flexidisplay (as the S&H to my country effectively doubles the price ) that I can buy locally.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) Could hold fighter mode alright! But you'd be better off buying flexi stands or using the clear/non clear stands yamato is using now (packaged with 21 and 51.) But these are good - just expensive, - http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00033 and they are canon to the movie. I hear flexi stands are going to be produced soon again with updates. Get Flexi's if i were you. Edited July 31, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuinJester Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 There are two kinds of action bases, the one posted there and another which is larger and designed for larger 1/100 kits. Those will easily support a Valk's weight AND can extend their support arm to about a foot in length. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN948216 Seeing that flexidisplays are up for order, I may have to get myself a couple of those, too, though.

QuinJester Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yeah, I picked up a white Action Base 1 that was on sale at BBTS a while back; it's currently holding up my YF-19 quite sturdily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuinJester Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Could you post a pic or two showing us that? I'm very excited about this, the Action Bases are readily available and are dirty cheap! Sure thing. Quick and dirty photos incoming. No Gerwalk pics, since I didn't feel like permanently modifying either the holders or the base to join with each other (and the flippy floppy gerwalk chest doesn't leave me with many options of places to stick the stand). All photos are with the stock action base connectors. Because I stuck the base practically to the top of the battroid mode, it hangs a little low, but again if one was willing to do either some cutting or glueing and use the proper YF-19 stand attachments, you could attach it higher. Still. As you can see, no problems or worries with weight or anything, and the action bases are a lot less intrusive than the massive Yamato launch stands or YF-21/SV-51 stands.

renkenjutsu Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Any pics on how you attach it in the fighter mode?
