The armor added quite a bit of mass and weight to the Valk to give it a very imposing look. Funny story, when FEXT contacted me to ask if I would like to photograph the prototypes and that they would ship them to me, I agreed. I thought it was only the armor prototypes they were shipping but when I opened the box the armors were attached to 2 Yamato Valks. I messaged my friend at FEXT and he told me the Valks were from his personal collection. Very much a bummer, I did what I could to help get to the PO quota, I PO 6 of each version. Thank you for the compliment @Bolt much appreciated! Whoa he let you keep the valkyries from his personal collection?

Lolicon Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Not my favorite battroid, but it's grown on me. 4G color scheme is so bland, though. Should probably do some paneling on her so she doesn't look so plain.

What's so funny with this Battroid is that when you put it beside a VF-1 or YF-19, it looks ugly. But on its own, it looks gorgeous.

Especially if you're displaying her next to the Premium Finish VF-4A, which really makes the ol' 4G look like a toy by comparison.
sh9000 Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 Got a new playmat so I'm looking forward to setting up HMR chess version 2.

I'm liking it more and more now that I've spent a lot of time with it. 1 hour ago, tekering said: Especially if you're displaying her next to the Premium Finish VF-4A, which really makes the ol' 4G look like a toy by comparison. Yeah it does look like a toy or partially completed model kit.

Lolicon Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Touched up the VF-4G a bit to make it a little less plain.
