pengbuzz Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Well, wondering about the nose and canopy myself. That said, a session pulling some heated plastic over a wooden mold should handle the canopy issue... (...then it sets in: start making hands for it, split the main body along the transform line panel for the shoulders, articulate the head.... ..and next thing ya know, I'm ready to throw it across the room again! )
GMK Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Interesting parts map. Could be the only scale kit I buy this year.
antibiotictab Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) I went to Wonder Fest today. So sorry, but I couldn't see the latest info of the 1/20 Valk; so many models to see in the garage kit area. BTW, I found interesting models at the KAKIMOTO's booth (6-09-03). The 1/20 skull squadron members in DYRL. I wonder if there is someone who buy 4 Valks for them. Edited February 19, 2017 by antibiotictab
electric indigo Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 The nose cross section of the kit looks strange. Like they needed a narrow base for the canopy to be the bubble shape more pronounced, so the sidewalls are at a strange angle that continues into the nose.
MechTech Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Thanks for posting the pics! I hate the 3D printed prototypes, there is so much that can change before the production model comes out. But it looks better than the last bland shapes we saw. - MT
GMK Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Still unsure about the nose/canopy. The rest looks good.

UN Spacy Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Color is still WAY too grey...preorder canceled.
GMK Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 That profile confirms that it could work with a nose job.

Major Tom Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 The VF-1A type head sits too far in on the prototype
electric indigo Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Hm, maybe it's a forced perspective model...

Zinjo Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) That is a "BEAST"! The customization possibilities are going to be ridiculous!!!! Edited February 23, 2017 by Zinjo
MechTech Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 That thing is HUGE! The gunpod looks like it could fire BB's! The shnoz does look too long! Hopefully it's the camera. It does look off. I had an old camera that would warp anything like that. My 1/100 Monster barrels looked like they were sagging in photos - MT
hirohawa Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Looks amazing. SO glad this seems to be going forward.
Big s Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I keep thinking it may look shorter when it gets some color and especially with the black stipe around the area in front of the cockpit.

peter Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 They'll have to sort out those head lasers on the 1S head, they looked really squished together.
TMBounty_Hunter Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Those are some truly thick sprues if accurate. Would make a nice supply of rod. Did they say yet if this will be PS or ABS? The gigantic 1/12 Panzers that Max Factory released were ABS.

arbit Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 I guess someone could put an engine in there to fly it.
