  1. That valk is really unique and fantastic! Any chance you can describe the process you use to mask the camo? How do you get the hexagons to stay uniform?

    Since the camo is 3 colours (khaki, grey and sand(main colour). I first painted the pieces completely with khaki. Than I mask off the areas where I want to preserve the khaki colour. Than I paint grey, and than masking the areas where I want to preserve the grey colour. Than finllay the sand colour.

    Check this thread to see how I did the hex stickers:

    the pattern is not perfect, since I wasn't using a grid, so some areas had to be "fixed" when two colours meet.

  2. Jung,

    Fantastic work as always but before you pack it all up, can you PLEASE take some HIRES shots so we can remember them by? After all, a picture just last longer!

    :D

    I did shrink them by 50% to save shawn some bandwidth, if someone wants to host the 1024x768 pics than drop me a msg

  3. Jung,

    that is truly GREAT work

    you mentioned that you did heavy modifications to the Imai Legioss kit

    did you also do the same mods to this green one?

    I have never built a Legioss kit before

    would like to start on one

    just need to know if the kit form the box will be the same as yours,

    or modifications are needed.

    :)

    thanks noel,

    I skipped the ball joints for the ankle and heal this time, other than that I did the same mods as badandy detailed in his excellent Desert Custom build here:

    I also engraved some panels on the feet and forearms. Added some internal details for the eye and covered it with a clear piece. Replaced the hands with 1/100 gundam hands, they can't retract into the arms like the originals so you'll have to pop them off when transforming. There's a significant gap between the canopy and the nosecone which I puttied. I also thickened the heal piece with some thick styrene sheets and replaced the exhaut.

  4. Best one I've ever seen! Whatever the price it would be a great buy.

    Are these kits more solid than the ride armor kits?

    hmm, it's a nice kit, but it suffers from a lot of looseness in the arms, I used superglue to get them tighter. Building wise, this is more difficult than the ride armour, more detailed and a lot more parts, worst part is that a lot of the halves don't fit nicely, big example are the large leg halves, big gaps between the two halves that you have to fix.

  5. battroid modes. The 1/48 imaii alpha is slightly off scale, it's a bit smaller than 1/48, when you go by the pilots, ie the alpha pilot is slightly smaller than the 1/48 yamato valkyrie. The kit itself is about 9 1/2 inches in fighter mode.
