505thAirborne Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Looks more like mecha from Mobile suit Gundam..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Well when you see it with the launch arm and U.N Spacey base it looks great. Then you see the shot of it next to a ruler and notice its less than 4cm long. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I've gotta stop being in a hurry when leaving a response!! Now i see the 1/400 VF-1, wow that thing is tiny!! But the launch arm display is really cool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) And everyone thinks I build in a small scale! That's awesome work! Pricey though! You could put a whole squadron on your coffee pot, but don't drink any when painting! Talk about needing steady hands! - MT Oops, correction this is about 9 US dollars, or 7 UK pounds if I read right!

ahiachris Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 no problem if you need any help, just let me know Talked with the guy ts afternoon. He's only doing the kits on a very small run. He pour the kit himself so that the cost is very low. He's willing to sell his kits overseas. He do not have Paypal only accept cash. You can contact him at the email address posted at his website. No need to order at Yahoo. He might be doing a strike version and a VF-19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amirn Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 He has been communicating with me and I have already sent off for 2 of them. It cost me 25 USD for 2 of them and that included the shipping. So I sent him $30 USD to be generous. I sent him the cash via USPS on Tuesday. So I am hoping to have them in hand in a couple of weeks. I am really hoping for a descent casting and resin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I ordered two kits as well and sent him the money. Some pictures would be cool! - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amirn Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Here you go MT. Sorry for the crappy pics, it was very hard to get anything good because the parts are so small. Quite a few pieces were made in the same mold, but the detail on the parts are awesome for there scale. The parts have a lot of flashing as well, which is going to be a pain to get rid of without cracking the parts, but the resin is a descent hard yet flexible resin. it does not seem to be the cheap fragile resin. I think he did well, but this kit is definitely for an expert modeler, simply because of it small size and the flashing you have to deal with.

ultimateone Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'm in for two of these if there is a group buy. They look pretty damn cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks Amirn! I just have to wait now! Ultimateone, I don't know if we're still doing a group buy. If you contact him directly (see his website), he should get back to you. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
