    I'm not going to bother with the OD. It's a real flat paint job, and the charcoal grey lines won't show up much at all on that DARK ASS blue...(Thanks Arcadia) I did my Max 1S and the Virgin Road and the result wasn't really worth the effort. ohh and if it helps ONE bottle of the Dark Dirt Wash (since 2009-ish, so it keeps perfectly well) has done over 18 VF-1's 3 Toynami Alpha's and Beta's and some plastic model kits, so it will last you a good long time!

    You need a fine point paint brush, (red sable, not something cheap) I have one for putting on the wash and another smaller flatter one for any small areas I want to clean up. All I do is basically trace over the panel lines, don't worry about being too neat (on the flat finish of Yamato's 1:60 ver2 you have to be a bit more careful as the wash will discolor the pure white areas if you leave it on to long, which can be cool if you are going for a really weathered look). Then after a couple of minutes, take a dry or just barely moist piece of paper towel, (or lick your finger) and wipe away the excess wash. Lick the cleanup brush to get into tight areas to clean up. As the Pro-Modelers wash is clay based, any time I want to revert back to the original look, just grab a wet Q-tip or something and go for it. Presto --100% clean pretty Valk. These are great to learn on. As I said, the Yamato's are trickier. The VF-4 was a royal pain, but came out great. I don't clear coat them as I'm lazy. Then add stickers if you want.

    So how does some poor sap in the US get his hands on one of these? Or is it pointless to even think about it unless one comes up for sale on the MW boards?

    This. Looks amazing as always. Pure nerd lust over here.
  12. derex3592
    Bout an hour. Top and bottom. Looks good! Gonna add some extra trimmed stickers for some extra detail later...

    Had some time this evening, so I decided to try panel lining on these. For the record...EASIEST thing EVER! The glossy plastic makes it super easy and forgiving....don't be scared guys! I'll post finished pics later.

    A VF-0D in the same scheme as the VF-1D Trainer would be cool as well.
  15. derex3592
    I definitely don't hate it....and it does save a ton of shelf space!
  16. derex3592
    I've SO been thinking about buying this!!! don't have a console or know Japanese though...

  18. derex3592
    Yes.....because now I NEEEEEED the 25G!
  19. derex3592
    Cool! I'm gonna try to get around to trying it on one of mine this weekend. I'll post some pics if all goes well.

    So---as I am now into the Frontier Valks game...has anybody tried panel lining the 25's??? I've done almost all of my Yamato 1:60 ver 2's, but they have more of a flat finish. I'm thinking the Bandai's might be easier since they are glossy. Any thoughts from you guys???

    "Is there a Jon Luck Pickard here"? ---Q --Tapestry Still one of my all time favorite episodes

    IF they actually had the intelligence to get the other two bikes made at the quality of the first two....which is debatable at this point...I bet the price would be double what the originals were.
  23. derex3592
    some better pics...
  24. derex3592
    All new purchases....and now I'm going to eat a can of spam for dinner

    It's been an exciting (and expensive) last 7 days! Gotta say...loving these Bandai offerings so far!
