It was a bit of a hassle getting everything locked together because the leg armor connections on mine were pretty flimsy and kept popping off. But it looks great once everything is together. Overall very similar in feel to the VF-25 super parts. Hey lolicon, were ur flimsy leg armors on thr left side and specifically, the left missile covers clip on very loosely? Just trying to check if there is a pattern as my missile covers are loose on the left side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a must if you don't want your work to get rubbed off. I still want to be able to handle my valks afterwards. They're not models even if I try to make them look like it. 1 hour ago, seti88 said: Hey lolicon, were ur flimsy leg armors on thr left side and specifically, the left missile covers clip on very loosely?

no3Ljm Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Funny seeing new members photos of the VF-31J with the Super Packs on since I was playing with it last night too. Though I didn't have time to set up and shoot photo since it was already around 130am. What I did notice somehow personally is that it's kind of too much blue for me when I'm holding it. But seeing photos of it, it's weird because I appreciate how nice and uniform overall it looks. I have a feeling that if Arad's DX VF-31S with Super Pack push through, his will stand out more due to its unique colors of red maroon, grey, and cadet blue.

jenius Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 In the show, does the VF-31J use the GERWALK joint when super parts are installed in fighter mode? I noticed the instructions show it being done "one click" but the instructions then show the fighter mode display stand being used and they are NOT using the GERWALK joint. I was wondering which one is truly correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I also noticed the intake/hip joints are not clicked in with those pics in the instructions. I was thinking it wasn't properly done but who knows. Seems odd to not click them together and leave an unsightly gap there. But the gerwalk/knee joints aren't exactly invisible either.

What surprised me was the fact that the collars behind the canopy on the 31A were likely fold carbon's hence the black colored look of the collars. Plus i learnt something abt fold carbons too by seto explained in the hase 31 and newbiew thread.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I do it, I have at least 1 solid inch of backpack sticking up behind the head. I really like the way this looks with the backpack tucked out of sight, which lets the silhouette of the robot stand on its own, and makes the head more visible because it's less busy above the neck. Can someone post pictures of their figure from the side and back, showing how to transform the backpack out of view? Is the backpack removable?

Can someone post pictures of their figure from the side and back, showing how to transform the backpack out of view? Is the backpack removable? Yes, the charger pod can be removed. As to answer your question, you just have to play the mounting hinges where the pod is attached too. There's no proper way of doing it, it's just based on anyone's preference. The only thing to consider is that if the hinge cannot fold anymore and you still don't want the pod to show up above or level with the head, then you just have to angle the pod away from the back more. If it's not your liking esp the side profile due to the pod sticking out away from the body a little bit and not aligned or 'parallel' with the wing fold, just remove the charger pod. Hope that helps. Edited June 29, 2017 by no3Ljm I used the word 'perpendicular' when I meant 'parallel'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to do it like this first during transformation. Like instead of folding it to the point the pod will go by the head area, before opening it to reveal the charge and gunpod, leave it close and just angle it parallel (Sorry, i used 'perpendicular' earlier. I meant 'parallel') to the wing. Check Saburo's pix. Base it on how the pod looks on his Battroid mode. Photo below you can see the folding panel at the back how it was folder somehow. You get the idea. Edited June 29, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xigfrid Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 It was pretty easy to make in fact. I used a very stiff 0.6mm steel wire, torn it around the pylon, then I put some nail polish on the wire to stick small cotton bits on it. Spray the cotton with a little black primer, then the red accent on the tip And done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
