no3Ljm Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Cool! Hope you can do something like Mommar's suggestions on the shoulder missle pod that swivels like the VF-25's. Mommar, from what I understand on your suggestion is that the missle pod somehow needs an 'arm' to swivel and rotate, correct? And not just like the pods created by T-Rex, right? Anyways, looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the additional pods appear to be taken from a 25 anyway it would make sense, especially given how the shoulders function on the 19, that there would be a small arm on them just like on the 25 for ease of mobility during transformation. Simply rotating the missile pods seems cumbersome on the 19 IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 That would be cool to see. The only concern that I see somehow is that the missle pod on the 19 is kinda thinner than the ones from 25. It might kinda, or a little, or somehow, look awkward just in case if that swivel, right? Anyways, let me check later all the photos of the T-Rex pods and see if we add that swivel arm if it's going to look awkward or not. But let me say that I like your suggestions better than the ones from T-Rex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Considering how thin the missile pods look in fighter mode, I wonder whether there's enough room in them to conceal that extra arm with its necessary joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sildani Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Please let me ask, Kurisama: how difficult would it be to make hardpoints for the renewal 25s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The most difficult part would be color matching the parts to the valkyrie. Unless it's just the connector bit - but that'd mean gluing directly onto the wings, which I'd rather avoid. But then I look back to that image of the custom 1/72 VF-25S with the extra gunpods and missile/bomb payload and I go hrrrrrrng. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 My only issue with connection points is with their now being three. Yamato, Bandai, and Arcadia. Arcadia's 19' equipment won't tightly attach to VF-1's. Maybe it's just mine, but If I throw on the missiles and stuff, they fall off super easy, of course they also do that on the 19' lol.

How about a two-part bit, where the first, smaller bit is indeed glued (and somewhat inconspicuous) and the second, larger bit can securely attach to the first, and that second bit holds the ordnance? As for the ordnance itself, it figures it's all different. I wonder which set is the most prevalent or easiest to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

close313 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Kinda sad that so many out of 40 were bought to be scalped..but I don't think that could be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Looks like nobody bought it so it got relisted. True. Didn't expect it either that it will shoot up to that price. Y120,000 for a Buy Out price? It's way cheaper to customize a V1 or a V2/Renewal VF-25F Super Packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Has anyone just tried shaving some supers so that the 19's wings can sit more natural. I threw some 25S on and the clip on to the wing roots. It's just the wing is too thick to move around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 So they are on hinges similar to how the 25 launchers are. Also, since you're one of the .00000001%ers you now have to take billions of photos from every angle/pose/mode imaginable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Nice. Now it's confirmed that it has that hinge thing like the Frontier Super Packs. But now looking at it, it made my theory right. That it may look like awkward to do like this since its missle pod is thinner than the regular ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) So just giving my thoughts so far, I still consider myself a noob at modeling so bare with me. Its pretty simple to assemble but you need to cut away extra plastic bits to fit together nicely. They are not heavy like some people said they were. The color [grey] doesn't match perfectly to the original 19 FP, so i'm debating on painting them. The small vernier nozzles are not on a ball joint like Bandai's and have to be glued in place. The big thrusters are on a ball joint and can move like bandai's. The only thing they really should of included are dowels, you need 6 of them and very small ones at that, you need them for the shoulder pods without them you cant build them. I was lucky enough to find small nails and cut them to fit. It will take some time but I will be updating more pictures. Saw your giant SDF-1 lurking in the background yes thanks for reminding me i will post pictures of that too, but I hope people don't criticize my lack of skill.
