Moosey Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 the black wash have to be sealed in so that the light wash wont remove the black wash underneath.I'd like for the black to stain the white in and around the panel lines so the finish isn't uniform. Who knows, I may have to wipe it all off and start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyll2 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Nice. Did you do anything before the wash? Or just applied it directly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Just applied directly. Having a lot of trouble with the light wash. The plastic is so frikkin shiny it just rubs right off. Have tried a few coats of it now and it's getting a bit frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosey Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Things not going as I'd hoped really. I think I need an airbrush. The light wash is very susceptible to bubbles. Also as I mentioned earlier, the plastic is so shiny. It just won't take. My dreams of making it lighter may not be realised. The wings take the wash quite well but not the fuselage. Particularly the chest plate. Think I'll have to start over tomorrow. Sorry they're upside down Edited April 11, 2016 by Moosey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 ^Well respect to you for taking this on as a project, I would say try not to get too discouraged but I'm not putting in the effort you are. Hopefully a Member with similar experience can share some feedback that will help. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaFan Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 As someone that's worked on fighter jets, not every part of the air frame gets weathered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosey Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 As someone that's worked on fighter jets, not every part of the air frame gets weathered. I know that but what I'm after is a more anime accurate shade of blue. That may not be possible without a full respray (with paint not wash) however.

wm cheng Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Sorry to hear about your troubles Moosey, Did you see my thread on weathering my VF-0D? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35120&page=93#entry1203668 If you look at my signature below, and go to the archived links thread, scroll down to the toys and you can find a few other links to my experience in weathering the VF-0D - I didn't have to re-paint the entire thing, but I did use an airbrush to do the salt weathering techniques to lighten the overall blue. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. Thanks WM, you've done a spectacular job there alright. That's pretty much what I want to do alright. Looks like an airbrush will be required alright. Speaking of salt weathering, I've experimented a little with that this afternoon... I'll post some pictures later (don't hold your breath though, it not that great!)

Moosey Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I've decided I'm done (for now). I will revisit it down the line if and when I can get my hands on an airbrush. I tried the sea salt earlier on and it worked quite well except when I tried to wipe off the excess, it all came off!! 😣 Anyway, this will have to do for now.

nightmareB4macross Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I hope that Arcadia releases the Grey Variant someday.

Sanity is Optional Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Looks like there's a Premium Finish VF-0D incoming. Was on display at WonFest. ¥39,800 sometime in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) *RUBS EYES* 1) is the color changed or is it a camera white balance illusion? 2) Weathered?? 3) rounding up....40k! Man if its true the color changed and is weathered,...tough call...i already gave up when i saw the price, but then 1) and 2) questions came in.... that might sway me if true....

eggy99 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Stupid expensive. Gotta sell some organs for that 0D PF. Bandai has all my business now. Also would be annoying if hips still not fixed. Assume they would have the 0S hip fix. You never know though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Looks mighty nice, but that price, and the fact that I already have the original and do not own any PF versions of anything in my collection, means this is thankfully an easy pass for me... more money for Sentinel's MOSPEADA offerings.

Lolicon Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Took pics of the PF 0D at Wonderfest. EDIT: Yes, it is panel-lined and shaded. Your eyes are not deceiving you. Whether or not the final version will be like that is another question. Edited February 10, 2019 by Lolicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoma Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 If the final version will be like this i think it's worth the money. Although something inside me tells me that this is how should have been the first release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
