Saburo Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Are you missing the arm armor? Damn, can't get anything past you guys. I forgot to put the arm armor on and didn't notice till after I was done taking pics. Took down the photos, I'll retake them with the armor parts on.

anime52k8 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I like it better that way. I don't plan on using the arm or leg armor in any mode when I get mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I like it better that way. I don't plan on using the arm or leg armor in any mode when I get mine. I think you need the leg armor to help prop up/support the very heavy wings in fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I think you need the leg armor to help prop up/support the very heavy wings in fighter. I can't see how that would be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I think you need the leg armor to help prop up/support the very heavy wings in fighter. I can't see how that would be the case. If you're not attaching any parts of the leg armor (top or side) then you can still place the wing attachments on and have the wing attach to the leg the same as if there were no parts of armor on at at. Mommar's point is that you need something to support the weight (which is 100% correct) but it can be achieved just the same as if there were no Super/Armor/Tornado parts attached. -b.

sreichma Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 ** edited, I forgot the arm armor, I'll post revised images. The pics of it in Fighter with the landing gear down really shine. This kit from bandai really looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scream Man Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Im going to add the chest armor and upper leg thruster covers from the Super Parts to mine. i feel like it's very back heavy, and needs a little balancing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's awesome to look at in fighter mode, they look good in gerwalk and Battroid mode. Hope you get your set soon. Im going to add the chest armor and upper leg thruster covers from the Super Parts to mine. i feel like it's very back heavy, and needs a little balancing. I am going to some armor mix and match eventually, for now I am going to leave it as it is. Post pics of your armor configurations. On side note, I find that crotch brace it comes with is very helpful with the Tornado and Armored parts to keep the Valk from collapsing. Does anyone know if there is a shapeways piece available like that brace? I'd like to get them for my armored VF-25.

Shukenzero Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Saburo gorgeous pics as usual, but just wanted to add that you should try a little more side lighting. It'll make the valk pop a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could model it in a few minutes if it hasn't been already. You are awesome CY! Yes, it would be identical to the one included with the Tornado parts. That would be great if you could model it and make it available for sale I'd buy a bunch of a few of them or if you had them in sets too.

Fantastic photos again!!! Are you going to start a thread that outlines your lights, lighbox setup? Did you make it yourself of is it a ready made thing, love that deep black background, how do you get it so it doesn't get lit at all? Is it a piece of black acrylic on the bottom? I'd love to get a decent setup like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardon my asking, but the Armored set already comes with its own crotch brace for battroid, right? Why would you need to use/make one based on the Tornado/VF-27 crotch brace?

Yes, the Armored Parts does come with brace/stand connecter but I like the Tornado brace because its smaller and harder to see.

bbrain Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 All these photos are so win! Judging on fitment and build, worth ordering from NY? If i still can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yeti, you should make those braces available too, I like how it is way more discrete than the one that comes with the armor parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhary Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I am a little dissapointed works great in fighter mode but too heavy for gerwalk and battroid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion yes (Fighter mode only for my Tornado parts), so if you're looking for a lot of mileage out of Battroid and/or Gerwalk then you may want to see what others have to say. -b.
