Welcome to my Nightmare

[Jefuemon]

1/72 scale VF-17D Nightmare. Soft vinyl/plastic kit from Wave. Primed by Mr. Surfacer, painted by Mr Color, so that shoots the myth I heard many years ago that you can only use acrylic to paint vinyl kits to hell and gone. This came as either an S or a D. I choose D, because I think the head on the S looks just too damn goofy.

Also, if anyone doesn't catch the reference to my thread title, damn I'm getting old!

[EXO]

awesome!

I don't get the title...

[mickyg]

Yeah, it looks like an absolute dream to me!

I have this kit 4 times it is my second favorite Valk next to the VF1.

The S head is a little odd, you need to squint to see it right

Dam fine job you did too.

Very nice indeed. And I totally agree with you about the heads.

mine is still in the box and still not made.

My VF-17 is in the box also. Also have the VF-19S that is still sealed in plastic.

I looked at them today and wished they would be re-released. Would like to get a couple of VF-17s for VF-171 conversion and pick up a VF-19 Kia.

Actually, I didn't think it was all that bad. I was working on Bandai's VF-25F before this, but I got so angry at how crappy that kit was I boxed it back up and threw on the shelf in disgust. This kit was pretty refreshing, to be frustrated for a real reason! I only broke my cutter knife once, too.

Beautiful work. The VF-17D definitely has the meanest, toughest looking battroid of all.
