Almost a year later... bumpity bump bump.

After my last post , I went into the painting , and the flat base I used ( testors ) ,

almost ruined everything .

So I had to start the paint job again .. .

Maybe next month I can start it again ......

This is a composition with 3d model, retoched photos and ilustrations .

I am trying to make a portfolio with matte paintings and ilustrations .

I think this is a good start ...

fernando... were you the one doing the gerwalk version?

Yep .

Its finished .......But , I need to find time to do some descent photos .

I almost ruined it on the decals .(That skull was terrible to adjust.)

Now , I want another sv-51 to do a black fighter , to put side by side with the gerwalk .

So , I will buy this new version , and if someone want those busters , just tell me .

Theres no way im going to buy a whole other SV51 just for 2 little boosters. If someone were to create a set of just the boosters and sell them im game(and i dont mean recast) .Id rather 15 to 30 dollars for a booster set then have a full model of a 51 that i wont build lying around when i already have one.

Well , I really want to buy another sv-51 , but the two kits are out of stock .

So , I can buy the kit and sell the booster to anyone that want it , because I realy dont need them .

Other people could offer the same thing .

What do you think ?

Since when the looney toones became the Swat Cats ?

You know what? That was what I thought at first.

well , then take a look of this ....

Since when the looney toones became the Swat Cats ?

I use a Brazilian model named GATTI AG-3.

it have internal mix, dual action and with left-hand or right hand capabillities.

its made of metal , so the wheight is perfect on the hand.

And its durable . I am using the same model for the last 15 years .

very easy to clean , and you can change the cup for 5 diferent sizes ...

you can see it at this link.

Well , the great differenve in my sv-51 and vf-0b gerwalks , is that they will be fixed models .

So , without the need of functional joints ,I will be able to put more details.

I am planning a more detailed painting too . with more pannels and shades .

Of course , I am tooking some liberties with these macross kits , but , its the way I like to work . Just see my monster kit .

Whew !!!!

Thats what I cal a gerwalk flood ...

You realy like to keep the suspence , didnt you ?

Thank you a lot , not only you gave me a nice view of the gerwalk mode , but I always wanted that official image of the vf-0b .

you saved my project

thanks ....

Well , since my next project is a vf-ob gerwalk , do you have any pict in your colection ?

thanks a lot for the posts ....

Thank you again AlphaHX....

great images ....

do you know who did it ? I have a lot of questions to him ...

Hope that helps.

hi AlphaHX.

That transforming sv-51 is yours ? its an amazing work .

And if I have saw it before , it could helped me a lot on my gerwalk .

do you have other images? thank you for the post

Actually could you post a list or the kits, parts and recources used on this project if possible?

Sure .

To make this conversion , I found all material here in the foruns , in the macross zero official site and

in the model graphix magazine.

.

Surprisely , I didnt found any line drawing of the gerwalk . Does someone have it ?

And you will need to buy these kits for the construction of the arms:

Griffon labor (1/60 bandai) , The O (bandai 1/144) .

To detail the rest of the model , you will need of lots of wave and kotobukiya detail sets .

ops . I made two errors .

First one , in the last post I was trying to say , "The painting will be in ANOTHER one. sorry , bad typing ...

Second error : my picts on this post are finished ... not the post itself .

Please , keep posting .

I would like to know if someone else wants to do the same conversion , or another one .

(my next project is the vf0-b gerwalk) .

If there is something that I can help , just ask ...

Hi Jinnai .

I hope you can finish your sv-51 very soon .

I have a great interest in see it finished .

It was in this topic that I got my idea to do the gerwalk version . I was just waiting Hase to release the ivanov version .

My gerwalk is now ready to paint . Thanks for the idea .

Get well soon , and keep modeling

Ok . I run out of all dark gray colors , so , I had to order somemore from japan , and it will take 3 weeks to arrive here in Brasil ...

Meanwhile , I made some last minute detailing with photo-etched and spare parts .

I used kotobukiya detail set for the nose and wing joint , and some unknow tank parts for the legs .

The inside of the shoulder was a litlle empty too , so , I added those tiny parts that I borrowed from some mini tanks .

Oh , And I replaced the ejection trigger for a smaller piece of plastic .

That was so tiny , that I had to use a magnifier to take the photo .

here are the picts .

And , with this , I am officialy ending this post .

The painting will be in amothr one .

Thank you for all the replies and support .

Well , first , whats your problem with the white finish ?

I usualy add a drop of yellow or balck , to break bright of the pure white .

If you want to try something differente , I think that a metalic finish will be a good try ..

take a look on this image

Wow...just amazing! Have you done any other work like this before you can share?

You can see some of my old models in these galleries .

I realy hope that my work can inspire other modelists to finish their models , and not only colect boxes ...

keep modelling ....

Hey Fernando.. I was a fan of your work in the CMC days, this is no exception. Looking real good!

hi bhop.

Thank you for the compliment.

But I cant remember what was CMC.

I used to post images at gundam.com , starship modelers ,AMA Model Gallery and

Galaxy Mech Works .

I hope to post more here .

My next projects after this one , are a VF0B Gearwalk , and a Pod regult 1/72.

just curious where the nose cone goes when its in battroid... anyone know?

In the batroid form , the nose fits inside the main gear bay ..

Its realy a silly transformation . I prefer it only in gearwalk mode...

Wow , that was fast .

Thank you .

In some hours searching , I just found this one , from a galery in tayland:

http://tayland.hp.infoseek.co.jp/newpage.htm

I am in the beginning of the painting of my gerawalk .

But I wold like to ask for some help .

Does someone have any other images of the Black sv-51 ?.

It can be picts from the tv , or models picts .

Thank you ....

last one

Ok guys .

Thank you for all the good words .

Here is my last post on this topic .

Next week I will post the finished model in a new one .

Thank you everyone

Thank you Cheng . Its good to know that you liked my work .

I will try to make a good making of of the painting process .

I Forgot to post an important part of the process . the wing conection .

After the cutting , what is left from the base of the wing , are two L shaped pieces .

These pieces , I conected together with a U shaped wire ( a strong one).

There wa a good time in aligning the pieces with the main body of the palne .

The rest was all scratch build the details , that I invented myself.
