derex3592 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Got my Finemolds 1:48 Tie in the mail yesterday. VERY simple compared to the x-wing. DO NOT have to mask off and paint the canopy's on this one!!! Great detail on the wing/solar panels....

ron5864 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Wow. The pieces on the TIE fighter looks pretty large. I wonder how it compares to the 1/48 VF-1 in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchizophrenicMC Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Putting the other MG aside, 1/100 Master Grade RGM-79[G] GM Sniper. 11 colors of paint, and I'm gonna fix the knee, so the 3rd joint pin actually works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 BSG MKII VIPER, my third one so far & right now just making sure all the parts fit correctly. Does anyone know where to get custom decals for other Viper pilots or serial numbers? My first two Vipers are already Starbuck & Apollo. Even un-assembled that Tie-Fighter looks wicked!

jardann Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 BSG MKII VIPER, my third one so far & right now just making sure all the parts fit correctly. Does anyone know where to get custom decals for other Viper pilots or serial numbers? My first two Vipers are already Starbuck & Apollo. Try these. They are really for the old Revell kit, but the scale is right. The starshipmodeler store and site is a great place and they have fantastic customer service. Highly recommended!

neptunesurvey Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I finished this 2 weeks ago. I built the quelamitz with the bow gun open and added an led for light. I have tried to edit the video and have not been successful in shrinking it down under 10mb. The video is in mp4 format. Any suggestions on editing? Here are some pictures instead. The light kit is for the Klingon Bird of Prey that is for sale on Starhsipmodeler. It can be found under Madman Lighting if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron5864 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Here is the finished Motoslave motorcycle with Priss' hardsuit from Aoshima's 1/12 scale Bubblegum Crisis kit. It has the metallic finish, similar to the Yamato metallic figure, that gives it a little more flash and wow factor. There are some visible gaps in the motorcycle mode due to the transformable nature of the kit. Overall this kit is not too terrible to build, and it does require more work than the snap-fit Bandai VF-25 kits. But it does look pretty slick once it is put together. Now if only Aoshima has Sylia's, Nene's and Linna's hardsuit as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Melder Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Okay, so Macross stuff isn't the only stuff I like. I admit it. I posted this at a few other boards, but I guess I should throw it up here too. It's an Free Planets Alliance Transport ship from legend of the Galactic Heroes. Its based on the 1/12000 model found in the 1st set of 1/12000 models from a company called Wright Staff. My scratch build will be 1/5000 when complete so as to be in scale with all my other 1/5000 Legend of the Galactic Heroes models which in turn are from a company called Alba Create. Its taken me awhile to get this far since I'm a full time College student. I probably won't get back to it until after April (when I finish school).

neptunesurvey Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Here are the pictures I promised. You can see in the one picture the glaug, valkyrie, and battloid are not really to scale. I added the one pic with the VC-33 for the size comparison. The VC-33 is 1/200. Nice Heavy Melder. I just started painting a 1/5000 Empire Battleship from Alba Create.

jardann Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Lookin good! I especially like the scheme on that Hunter! How was the Fujimi F-35? It looks great. Are there any options for opening the top to see the VTOL machinery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Since I found 2 different sources of BSG Decals, My VIPER MKII is now going to be solid black, with Blue pin striping and assigned to the BSG PEGASUS. Still lots to do on it, especially the cockpit and landing gear. Just got my Colonial Ladder in as well!

Noyhauser Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Lookin good! I especially like the scheme on that Hunter! Thanks Jardann... There will be more aircraft with that scheme coming up. How was the Fujimi F-35? It looks great. Are there any options for opening the top to see the VTOL machinery? Actually you can have it in VTOL mode, with the lift fans open and the engine extended downwards, but is one glaring omission as I think someone here alerted me to. They didn't mold open the auxillary inlet doors on the spine. They are right behind the main lift fan: (Image Courtesy of flightglobal.com) Anyway, I didn't feel like gouging out the doors so I just left it in flight mode. ITs a great little model with some issues which make you scratch your head. Probably one of the most detailed bomb bays I've ever seen.... filled with detailess bombs and right beside wheel bays devoid of ANY detail whatsoever. Its got great detail all over though. IF they release a A or C version I'll buy one immediately. Edited January 24, 2011 by Noyhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jardann Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Ugh! $35 for a small 1/72 scale kit! I'll probably have to wait if I see it on a good sale. Hasegawa, Trumpeter, Tamiya and some others' prices seem to be through the roof. Sometimes I just can't bring myself to pay the prices for the new kits that are coming out. Especially with Revell re-releasing so many decent kits at quite reasonable prices. I know they are older and not state-of-the-art but they are usually just fine for me. Then again, if it's something I really want, I'll go ahead and splurge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had wanted this kit for a long time, and it was a sheer joy to build! My methods will seem quite "backwoods" to this forum, im sure, but I use the water decals and seal them with clear nailpolish. I then seal the entire kit with aerosol hairspray. It takes all of my hobby funds just to purchase the kits, so I have to go to "grass roots" for my materials. The painting was minimal, thanks to the multicolor molding of the kit except for the cockpit and pilot. I am posting links to the battroid mode which will be the final display state. http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0200.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0205.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0197.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0195.jpg Edited January 28, 2011 by fhrex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
