You can always find quite current builds at
lili:/var/cache/laminar/netbsd-vax-vax-rel.tar.gz (symlink to the most
recent version), containing the ISO:

root@lili:/tmp/mvax-test# tar tzvf /var/cache/laminar/netbsd-vax-vax-rel.tar.gz|grep iso
-r--r--r-- 0/0       371068928 2023-12-22 18:55 release-vax-vax/images/NetBSD-10.99.10-vax.iso

Feel free to grab it from there!
