aaajin Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 wow those parts sure are tiny! I dont think I'll have the patience (and time) to build them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Anyone know if they can be taken apart after assembled to build a new mode if you have the other set needed. Or once built they are stuck that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 They look like the parts can just be swapped out and I think they may have mentioned that that's how they work, but I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Anyone know if they can be taken apart after assembled to build a new mode if you have the other set needed. Or once built they are stuck that way? The gerwalk set contains multiple main blocks. It seems likely that you would be able to reassemble the blocks together if you do not glue the main blocks together. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43003&page=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hope it stays this nicely painted/decalled.. https://twitter.com/tomytec_gimix/status/740139503130550272 Ok need to pay attention and cut the parts off the sprue's cleanly, undergating isn't quite the option with painted parts...

David Hingtgen Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 In my experience with their Super Flanker, they were remarkably well thought-out with the sprue attachment points---often in locations where pieces joined, or under-gated. Also, they seemed to detach very cleanly, best I've ever found---I don't know if it's simply due to the small scale or a certain mix of plastic, but I recommend going against the norm, and try snipping as flush as you can on the first cut. On the smaller pieces at least. Odds are good it'll release very cleanly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniping flush will definitely help in avoiding necessity of contact on painted pieces during nub cleaning.

Big s Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The tail fins on the Roy look like the sprue is connected wher it's painted black. Some times a quick fix for that situation is using a black sharpie over the cut mark and dull coat or gloss if it needs to be shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Probably a black marker would do since the gate looks quite small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I think the banking adapter is new, haven't seen it with any other kits in that line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 it certainly adds a nice dynamic flight element to it...I had thought it was customized in their displays but am glad that it made it to the kit... Of course i think this wont work if you were going to pair it with the lighted up configuration, as that doesnt have a banking joint....

David Hingtgen Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Oh hey, protip for the non-light-up display stand: See how it has a rectangular top? You'll likely have a choice of two parts to install into the belly. And you do NOT want the one with a rectangular hole in it, when using the non-lit stand. Trust me on this. You want the "blank" belly-piece, and drill out the holes from the backside. Of course, the banking adapter looks to be quite different, so all that may change.

seti88 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Yea I thk everything changes with the banking adapter. I don't thk there is any reason to go with the square peg is there? Also I wonder how the lighted kit would work since there is a gunpod in between... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayaxr Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Pre-ordered the 2 pack set for gerwalk and battroid. Crossing fingers for this to meet my expectations, the pictures look amazing.Also, hopefully they come out with the Super/Strike packs? Realistically these are gonna be a smash hit for them right? Surely armored versions would be the next logical step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 If they do an armored one I hope it's a dedicated kit and not just add on parts. A dedicated kit would keep the proportion better. I would also like to see other mecha and support vehicles. I really doubt any one else has plans for a gnerl fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add on parts would be difficult due to it being a kit. Cant imagine removing and adding them back on like a DX. Destroid's at this scale and pre-painted? insta buy!

beatsing Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 1/144 destroids, strike packs and launch arms ...am sure there will be many fans buying it... and instead of those airport ground blocks, carrier ground blocks w catapults... Cmon tomytec you can do it!....urgh ..rant... The Tomahawk had a floating pilot and opening cockpit? ! Do those launch arms and loading bays move? !! Ahhhh I was gonna pass on this line and go all in the hmr line but that is insane details. Has anyone got theirs vfs shipped? Are the parts for swapping plug and play like the store photos, or are switching modes involving loss of teeny parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
