ff95gj Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 sorry about the lack of updates, I went to see the recaster guy in early may, he's tied down with a few other large orders. he told me to look him up in June, which is about now. I'll find some time to drop by his workshop again. I've been tied up with my graduation project recently. will keep you guys posted. Thanks! I was just curious on the status.

aurascope Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 For 1/60 scale VF-1 you probably should try B-club resin manipulator set, I bought them before to fit my V1 1/60 VF-1 and it's in good size. Once again, it's fixed pose. http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Word=manipula...acroType=OptKit I don't like the idea of individual articulated fingers, I'd rather have them fixed pose. Those articulated manipulators get loosen over time and it doesn't look really good IMO with those ball joints at each end tip of finger. I considered that question many months ago, but the B-club manipulators are generally designed to hold specifically the weapon of the 1/100 MG kit it was made for. It might take some trial and error buying the right pairs and it's not going to be cheap. Articluated manipulators allow the battroid to hold anything, from beam sabers to gunpods. if you really play with the manipulators too much that the become loose. clear nail polish will tighten the ball-joints right up, and it's invisible!

I understand, but I still don't like the idea of articulated hands. I prefer fixed posed which looks much better and luckily now the 1/60 V2 has all the fixed posed hands handy in the box? I am not a fan of 1/48 VF-1 so I'm not sure, didn't they come with fixed pose hand has well? The only reason I bought the B-Club in the past was to dress up the V1 1/60, and I don't think it will fit 1/48 right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I am not a fan of 1/48 VF-1 so I'm not sure, didn't they come with fixed pose hand has well? only the VF-1J's and the CF-1A came with hands, they were TV style clown hands. also the GPB-1s armor cam with DYRL style fixed hands, but they were oversized and looked goofy on the naked valk.

Vi-RS Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 do you guys have picture of the eternal D manipulators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurascope Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 I just went to see the recast guy. Apparently, he has too many projects on hand right now. He says he won't be able to start testing the casts anytime soon. Argh! This is infuriating. Everywhere I turn to get these bloody hands at a remotely affordable rate winds up a dead end!

aurascope Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 This guy has made some progress. I'm not sure if his hands will fit the 1/48. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-cus...et-me-know.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
