DYING for an update over here!!!!!

here's a couple of mine....these were some of my early attmepts...

WOW! Your weathered stuff is amazing!! Especially that blue max!! Good looking destroid as well!

I have a package of the Tamiya weathering stuff just waiting for me to have enough time to experiment with it!! Good tips otherwise! LOVE threads like this!

I am a HUGE fan of Top Gear. I love it. IMHO--Top Gear America will fail--but hey, I'll give it a shot... Anyway, speaking of sports cars--wanted to share this with u guys...Just picked this up a couple of weeks ago. Got a great deal from a great guy outside of Houston-- 2007 Z06, fully loaded, original owner, 12K miles, garage kept. Weekend driver only....I LOVE this thing!

That is awesome!! I am SO all kinds of jealous!!!

The way I have found that works best for me is---First decide if you want your Valk weathered OR just panel lined. Then I use the Pro Modelers wash to do both. different methods however. And be aware that in my experience, on the REALLY WHITE valks, the wash WILL kind of dull the white down a bit. I either brush the entire thing down and then wipe away some of the wash to give a weathered and panel lined look, OR I just "paint" over the panel lines area with a small brush and then wipe away the access for a "clean" look. This does take a bit of practice--so don't try it on your prize Valk! I can now get great results with either method. And also I do decals LAST, as I found out if I don't---the wash kinda collects around the edges and looks weird to me, and also I prefer that the panel lines seem to go "through" and or "under" my decals. Just my .02!

As I am a relative new comer to Mac 7---(just now plodding through the series for the first time, on about episode 20 I think), I gotta say, when I first saw the Fire Valk, I was kinda like mehh....buuuut.....the more I watch the show---the more I kinda might have to cave and get this if Yamato gets it right....and yeah....music would be a freakin cool addition for those who wanted to pay extra for it!!

All good things come to those who wait bro! No worries!

Have had my 11C for over 6 months now, just chillin in fighter mode in my display case, watching 7 last night, decided to transform it.....Hey-- good news---the leg or legs didn't fall off!!

I have the Blue Alpha and Invid Inforcer bookends with all my anime dvd's in between them...I gotta say, they are awesome!!! The detail is amazing. If any of you Mospeada guys don't have a set, do yourself a favor and pick up a set. Well worth the $$$. Did you design those as well MJ??? If you did, great job!!!

sorry Yamato....no deal here on the "repaint" front. I have the DYRL on order, and would buy a 100 percent accurate TV version also if it is reasonably priced (around the same as DYRL).

WOW!! is this the coolest place (with the coolest and most talented guys) on the internet??? I THINK SO!!!!

More like "are you watching Toynami?" for the Vinyl line perhaps??? But great work!!!!

I'll be patient and wait to see the final product. Needless to say, I think it will look better than those pics. I have faith Yamato will do THIS right. Because right now---that bridge and lack of detail overall really looks like crap!

YES! YES! What he said!!!

I tried the pencil route--just wasn't big on the "shiny" effect it had. Just my .02

I have used a Gundam type marker on my 1:48, YF-19 and Mospeada stuff, but for the 1:60 ver 2 stuff, Pro modelers weathering wash is the only way to go. It takes time and a bit of practice, but the results are greatness!!

WHY am I now just finding this thread???? I'm a big car guy.....just picked up something incredible...will post pics when I get it home in a couple of weeks.

I beg to differ. The SECOND batch Yamato released of VF-1J with GBP was and is safe and good to go. I have one. It's perfect.

DUDE!!! PM me with the dirt!! I wanna know!!! LOL!

caught up on both episodes now....show is getting more and more interesting. Loving Zoe with some badass "Kill Bill" skills! haha!

I'm in line for the Glaug!!! Where do I pay?? LOL. Good work!! Keep em coming!!! Invid/Inbit?????

nor does it cost $400+ dollars.... It simply is what it is. A cheap shelf warmer. But get a few together, throw some simple weathering/detailing on them and they don't look half bad next to Yammy 1:60 ver 2's.

LMAO!!!!! Ohh man....that made my day. :lol:
