Xigfrid Posted December 10, 2017 Author 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
Jasonc Posted December 10, 2017 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 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.
MechTech Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 That came out great! Nice job all the way around! - MT

valhary Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Thanks guys! I planning recast the back to be one piece and be more solid and less fragile between transformations Edited September 20, 2018 by valhary
Xigfrid Posted September 20, 2018 Author Posted September 20, 2018 That’s a brilliant idea, i am looking forward to your finished project
Jasonc Posted September 20, 2018 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.

Your custom already looks really good as is. But I can understand wanting to improve your work.
valhary Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Hey Jason! If you redesigning the mini ailerons let me know because mine only provisional not final (no like me at 100%)

valhary Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Back to work! finally hunt a non color version for this guy now just missing the wings and the ailerons but soon very soon ;)
Bolt Posted March 6, 2019 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..
valhary Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 That's right The Xigfrid conversion kit and the Kurisama head works on yamato v2 / arcadia equally 100% recommended. I did the stickers and if you want I can send you the PDF file
valhary Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Ready to print;) vf1x.pdf Edited March 7, 2019 by valhary
Jasonc Posted March 7, 2019 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 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

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.
valhary Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Fighter mode also looks so well that's the question which mode to display
valhary Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 The wings are finished only remains pending the ailerons and the back which I hope to have ready the next week
Jasonc Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Looks great. Are those the modified wings, or did you customize them yourself using the originals?
valhary Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 yes I considering cut the fins and the wings are the Xigfrid upgrade parts

I had to go with the originals because they weren't folding well in battroid. I tried to use them, but I want to make sure they collapse properly.
valhary Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 As I supposed the back works better feels less fragile and now only Missing the paint job and I think it will be finished
