Xigfrid Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) That Vf-1X++ is really amazing, your white painting is faultless, the larger wings. Did you use Kurisama's head or Frameout's? Together with @valhary, we are preparing a resin copy of this project that will be a great alternative to shapeways parts. So hopefully we will see more of these VF-1X++ in the future Edited December 10, 2017 by Xigfrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 That's really cool. You're going to recast the parts you've made? For the head, I used Frameout's head. I can't wait to see the stuff you're working on in the near future. If you do work on anything new for this project, I hope you are able to do a wing replacement with the lead edge shield on the wing and the extended flap.

Xigfrid Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 In fact that would be a direct recast of shapeways wsf parts. That means the parts will need to be sanded and drilled, but being in resin, this would be 3x times easier If the first recast sells well, a renewal (v2?) can be imagined of course. I am planing to model a few parts optimized for resin for instance and why not recasting the complete wings by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Very interesting. That's a great idea. I'm going to be redesigning those two top pieces so they look a little more accurate to the images of the MtR books. I think that's about all I want go change at this point.

Bolt Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Looks great amigo. Love some of those details! So this is 1/60 and the parts from shapeways will work on either Arcadia or Yamato , yes? I do believe I’ve sold all my 1/60 VF-1 toy vaks, but wondering about THIS as a candidate.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhary Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 That's right The Xigfrid conversion kit and the Kurisama head works on yamato v2 / arcadia equally 100% recommended.

Jasonc Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Nice set of decals. I am still needing to make those back ailerons. I am hoping to soon be able to get back into redesigning the upper verniers that lead to the wings. I've been so busy, but I hope I can do this soon.

valhary Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 That sounds great to me because still have the intention to simplify the back I think that way would be less fragile without fear at transformation time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to make a clip into the upper intake so that it provides some stability, but I'll start drafting it out this weekend. Between work and school, I haven't as much time as I used to.
