ValkAddict Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Thanks @505thAirborne for the info! Sorry for missing the obvious. Looks like I can only order white colored sets from here (wish they had cream color), https://www.shapeways.com/product/DV3KRQCTN/kanzen-henkei-1-60-scale-fighter-variable-hinge?optionId=3675956 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I've used 4 sets of these shoulder replacements and they almost appear to be a bit stronger than the factory parts.

Saw them in the "how to" video, then went to the 3D viewer and flipped the parts over to make sure they were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a used Yamato 1/60 VF-1D with broken shoulders and need replacement shoulder hinges. TIA for any help. EDIT: Also, the photo of the part does not seem to look exactly like the broken shoulder hinge. The 3D artist who did that is a long time member of this forum — @VF5SS.

Radioguy Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Has anyone designed a Yamato 1/48-compatible VF-1D head for printing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope it's out there.. I was able to score a resin cast one , along with the rest of the 1-D conversion kit. some years ago. I still need to get to that project..

Haven't seen one before but I'll do you one better by suggesting somebody design an all new VF-1D conversion kit for the Yamato 1/48's.

Radioguy Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 True, any VF-1A/J/S with a 1D head would be a mongrel without the right cockpit, but I'd grab one if a full kit weren't on offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 It's funny, funny that I say funny. I finally ordered a pair of shoulders for my V2 VF-1D. I just got an email today 12/30/23, from Shape ways that my order is being sent. Now if I only knew where my Yamato V2 VF-1d is. Moving sucks from one state to another, so you know. I have thought of buying these for a long time and I finally pulled the trigger, yeah me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Don't know if anyone has need of these, but had forgotten this topic exists when I went to make them. Still a rough test, and I think at least two people are trying prints, but my first test print seemed to fit well enough.

Sildani Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Yep, had my local library print them out in resin. Too big to fit initially, but some sanding brought them mostly into line. I suspect the tabs in back are too large to fit into the slots, but more sanding will do them no doubt. Many thanks Chronocidal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Good to see them working! I definitely oversized the tabs, since I figured it would be easier to sand them down than build them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
