Valkyrie addict Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Sweeeet! Always nice to see some 1/48 love! Don't know why Yamato went for the bubbly canopy instead of keeping the more lineart sleek canopy on the 1/60's. Paris act, enigma and honeycomb digi camo = awesome!

MacrossJunkie Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Those are such awesome customs. I want to make a 1/60 version of the Enigma some day, but I'm not sure where I could get the decals for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g3173 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Valkyrie Addict, that digi camo is the infamous Blue Rose. That's my favorite of the group. I'll dig out my other 1/48 customs and will post more tomorrow. Think 1/48 line nailed the look. Macross Junkie, that was Kurt's 1st Enigma custom. Still a solid piece for how old it is. Also one of my favs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Ahh...Blue Rose, nice, very nice!!. Masking and stencil use for digital camo is an art. Kurt's work is the best, I knew I'd seen that enigma and paris act custom before, what other gems do you have hidden, do post!! Wish I knew Kurt¿s technique he uses to prevent paint chipping.

Also one of my favs Yeah, I remember those posted back in the day. Kurt, Jung, and others made some great customs with the 1/48's. I wish I knew Kurt's method of getting the graphics for the decals. I don't think they were scanned from the Model Graphix magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g3173 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 MacrossJunkie, the decals were all custom made by Devin aka Anasazi37. He made some sick water decals that finish these customs. They truly looked painted on. I have a full custom DYRL set too along with a one of a kind Jung Cannon Fodder. Still trying to find it in storage. Will post more when I get them all set up. My son is dying to get his hands on these. He's 7 so he's not to keen on the, we only look.. hahah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I specifically have a beat up V.2 1J and 1S I keep around in case my nephew ever wants to play with any of my Valks. The rest are "don't touch" but he's usually pretty happy with just the 1J and 1S. My ex-girlfriend's son too, though he REALLY wanted to play with my 17's.

g3173 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Mommar, man my son has gotten his hands on a couple of 1/60's and 1/55's and they are beyond beat up. hahahaha. The 1/48's are all for daddy. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zulu Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Could you imagine what it would be like if all the companies decided to stick with Yamatos 1/48 scale and not switch to 1/60. OMG swooshing around a 1/48 Nora or a VF11c would be amazing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG swooshing around a 1/48 Nora or a VF11c would be amazing!! I know I would be much poorer and would need a lot more detolfs because the toys would be a lot more expensive and I wouldn't be able to fit as many on each shelf. Heck, a 1/48 SV-51 wouldn't even fit as the 1/60 version in fighter mode already has to be displayed at an angle just to get it to fit.

xrentonx Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Yes. Poorer and smaller collection would pretty much be it for me. I would've tapped out a long time ago. I'm very happy they stuck with the smaller scale since it was perfect for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbrain Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 these are amazing. someone should make a custom in the popular street wear patterns like floral or digi floral, that would be awesome. if i could i would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g3173 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Found this custom Kirk made for me. This may have been the last piece he built for me.

g3173 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks Falcon. Going through these brought back a ton of memories. Can't believe what we used to spend on all these 1/55's only to pay more money to the customizers to make them better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Those are all such fantastic customs. You have quite a unique VF-1 collection to be proud of. I wish Arcadia would make some of those or at least sell some decals and more of those blank VF-1 kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
