physioguy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I know a few people have made this custom before, but I just took some new pics in fighter mode with the appropriate arm-mounted weaponry. I might list my second one online for auction. Next, I'm thinking of either customizing a Vf-171 in a real world, low-vis. grey, or maybe a stealth black... But no time for that right now.

Benson13 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I got a 171 but I'd love to take that armor off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should buy the armor for the cannon fodder, because it'll have the same parts, and then you get some cool WMDs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Still waiting for my paints to come in before I fire up my Iwata to do the same on my spare 171 ex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I've been considering doing this to my spare Alto 171 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro_BS-AS Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Hi guys. I tottally missed the point. I didn´t get it was a custom, so, VERY NICE PAINT JOB ! ! ! The rest of my post, you can forget... my bad. "...I still don´t get the "floating head" in Battroid... blabla"... forget it.

Mommar Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well it has a neck. Not really sure what you're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_BS-AS Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well it has a neck. Not really sure what you're talking about. It´s ok. I didn´t notice at first, but it has a neck that sits in the middle of a gap. And you can even see the back of the wings in the picture posted by the OP. Compared to another Bandai´s (25 - 29) and the vf-17 the head is floating attached to a neck and that´s it... And there´s no "anime-magic" here... it´s all CG. I still don´t know... I was hoping that Bandai could correct that in the CF, but it´s still the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye_281 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'm not the biggest fan of this valk, but I think it's starting to grow on me. Nice custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fuselage is not wide enough to fill the entire gap between the shoulders. It's a Kawamori design issue at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that Bandai could correct that in the CF, but it´s still the same. just because it's CG doesn't mean there's no cheating going on. there are tons of instances of solid parts clipping through each other, pieces floating into place without actually being connected to anything and part folding on invisible paper-thin hinges.
