That's pure awesomeness...gahh! We gotta figure out how to do the VF1D Virgin Road leg "Just Married" decal. Same font works..but need the white ribbon behind it.....ohh and that cool one on the tail fin too! Lol!
-
I had fun today trimming all the stickers (yes...even the No Step's) and applying them....I'm done. This one is going into the cabinet....as soon as I make room!

Great pix Graham! I'm gonna get a 17D and 19F when they get back in stock...you have swayed me..damn it..

Ok, here's my entry into the panel line VF-4 category...Done with the pro modelers dark dirt weathering wash. Not gonna lie... This one was a biiiiitch!!! Different kind of plastic maybe not really sure but, it took me over six hours straight to get it to this point. Never again!! I'll tackle the stickers tomorrow....

Yes sir! Testor's Waterslide Decal Custom Kit. Printed the words out at work (Microsoft Word Brush Script MT--26pt font I think) on the laser jet printer (even though my decal paper is for inkjet--didn't seem to matter), brought them home, sealed with a couple of quick coats of the decal sealer spray and then cut, trim, dip in water for literally 2 seconds, wait about 30 seconds and slide right onto Valk. Smooth out with damp Q tip. DONE! That's it! Took me literally 5 minutes. NOW I need to find a way to print white so I can make the "Just Married" for the Virgin Road VF-1D!

I'm going to try and do my panel lines today with "dark dirt" weathering wash. Good Job on yours though! The black marker is just a tad to dark deep dark black for my taste.

LOL! I get the "John-Luck Picard" joke! That was one of my favorite episdoes! That one and the one with Scotty!---"No bloody A, B, C, or D"! RIP Scotty!

I had a horribly scary time with mine...here's what I did..open the cockpit..press down on the instrument panal shroud..that's how I got mine to finely drop down..I was NOT going to push on that canopy any harder than I was...and I know you need to be "firm, but gentle" with new Yamato Valks, but I was worried about cracking the clear plastic.
-
I gotta go look for one now...all the one's I ever see are over $50 or more. ohh...and make sure you share with us your pure and utter dislike of the sound booster attachment to the Fire Valk..for so such an over-engineered hunk of plastic...it falls off the Valk if you breathe on it wrong! Yamato FAIL on that one...

OMG!! I sooooo dislike you for getting that yellow box theater scout model !!! Wanna sell it!????

Hey EXO--- messing around at work....I was gonna try and print my own this weekend..try Microsoft Word Font "Brush Script MT". When compared side by side with the Hasagawa 1:48 Box art...it looks pretty damn close to me!!!

I want a medium grey or "nuetral grey" for all you hobby guys out there, and I want a pair in the same color dark dark blue as the VF-1 Cavelier is molded in. That would look wicked! -
Me 2!!!
-
DOOOOOOOooooo it......all the cool kids are!!!!

awwww....dude...you gotta love you some bald Captain Picard and some hotness counselor Troy or hotness Doc Crusher! I also forgot to mention.....this is my 3rd Enterprise D to build. Built 2 of the old grey AMT kits back in the day so I kiiiinda know that it doesn't fit together like a Finemolds kit...

I really want to custom paint a couple of sets. I have always HATED that yucky green-ish-whatever color they are! I always remembered them as grey from the anime I thought. -
Well here's my next big project already started over the New Year's weekend. The AMT/Round 2 Enterprise D cast in clear plastic, and it includes ALL the Aztec pattern decals! ....and YES!....This will be my first attempt at lighting a model kit. I am using the Enterprise D+ lighting kit from Model man Tom's website. I really don't know anything about basic electronics so I'm having to learn as I go! I am following "Trekworks" Enterprise D build on YouTube. I did my first coat of black and I did get all my LEDs to light up over the weekend.... That made me very happy!
-
LOL! Good one.
-
I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on a 17D eventually....damn you guys...LOL...maybe I'll just get a 19F too when HLJ gets some back in stock Luv that blue and white! Screw it. who needs savings.
