spanner Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Seeing the SV-51 Nora I have is a worn sloppy mess which I may even replace with a fresher example at some stage, I thought I'd try a little modification on it.. I removed the fan blade moldings from the upper legs (a rather prick of a job) and made up some fill panels to fit neatly inside and sprayed them a matte black. I rather like the end result and I think it gives the intakes a more realistic look compared to other real life jet fighters. These are the first lot I made so they are essentially prototypes and even though they seem to fit in there nicely I might make a new more refined set to fit in there permanently. And yes the canards are staying the reversed direction! So yeah let me know what you guys think!

It might worthwhile just to get yourself a Future/Pledge clear floorcare polish to apply on the loose joints of your Nora. Preferably the original unscented version. It's about US$11 at amzn right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogze Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I kind of like it,Spanner, and that's a very nicely angled shot too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xigfrid Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Really nice idea about the intakes, I would make the same if it can still transform, can't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably the original unscented version. It's about US$11 at amzn right now not on this one sadly.. its joints are just way too far gone.. completely shagged more like it! That's why today I bought another one.. fingers crossed its a million times better! I kind of like it,Spanner, and that's a very nicely angled shot too Hey thanks! yeah its not a bad shot eh! Really nice idea about the intakes, I would make the same if it can still transform, can't it? Thanks Xigfrid! It could be done a lot better, especially if I could 3d print the part and make it with a similar pattern like on the VF-0 or VF-1 intake covers.. And yes it can still transform!

no3Ljm Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Ah, but we'll be griping about the colors as soon as the toy is announced. You sir... are a mind reader.
