I remember well the uproar in the Ace Combat community when the itasha fighters showed up. If memory serves I think I bought the Tomcat with Asuza on it (because I'll buy any Tomcat mostly). It was certainly divisive. Although they didn't offend me, many felt......different shall we say?!

That's brilliant Xigfrid
-
That is awesome!

I've decided I'm done (for now). I will revisit it down the line if and when I can get my hands on an airbrush. I tried the sea salt earlier on and it worked quite well except when I tried to wipe off the excess, it all came off!! 😣 Anyway, this will have to do for now.
-
Thanks WM, you've done a spectacular job there alright. That's pretty much what I want to do alright. Looks like an airbrush will be required alright. Speaking of salt weathering, I've experimented a little with that this afternoon... I'll post some pictures later (don't hold your breath though, it not that great!)
-
I know that but what I'm after is a more anime accurate shade of blue. That may not be possible without a full respray (with paint not wash) however.
-
Things not going as I'd hoped really. I think I need an airbrush. The light wash is very susceptible to bubbles. Also as I mentioned earlier, the plastic is so shiny. It just won't take. My dreams of making it lighter may not be realised. The wings take the wash quite well but not the fuselage. Particularly the chest plate. Think I'll have to start over tomorrow. Sorry they're upside down
-
Just applied directly. Having a lot of trouble with the light wash. The plastic is so frikkin shiny it just rubs right off. Have tried a few coats of it now and it's getting a bit frustrating.
-
So this is after the dark wash Now on to the White.
-
I'd like for the black to stain the white in and around the panel lines so the finish isn't uniform. Who knows, I may have to wipe it all off and start over.
-
Can't remember who said it way back (derex maybe) but the panel lines on this thing are so shallow! I have a feeling this could get very annoying. I've done the dark dirt coat. I'll start washing off the excess later. Pictures will follow.
-
So this is about to happen. I'll start with a heavy coat of the dark dirt wash to try and get some panel line detail and then go with they white in search of a slightly more representative overall lighter blue finish. Wish me luck............please?!

What he said! With bells on

Which is why every new Valk should enjoy a mandatory VF-0S Macross Zero like sequence on it's debut!

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 1 - READ 1st POST
Moosey replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
What's to say that future episodes of Delta won't venture down the grittier paths you mention? Kawamori already alluded to the fact that later episodes would vary in tone. There could be a decision to nuke a whole city in the future because Var has surpassed Walkure's ability to suppress it, or they were tasked elsewhere and a tough executive decision has to be made. There are some well made points and valid arguments in this thread but imhop the negativity is OTT considering how much we have seen so far. -
Totally agree....with you!

Nice little "care package" Mickyg! -
The "Enabler" Strikes Back lol

I would consider myself a "gear guy" too and the CAD renders aren't putting me off. Obviously there is a real possibility that the DX toy will follow suit and that doesn't bother me either. The trailing link design is somewhat reminiscent of the F-18, so there's some precedent. I like that it potentially brings the rear units closer to the front of the Valk. As WM Cheng mentioned, Valk landing gear is often too far back. The only potential issue with this is centre of gravity as if it's too far forward, it might want to sit on its ass. Another observation is that if the DX toy follows suit, in certain dynamic batroid poses, the wheels could be exposed - which I'm not keen on.
-
I'm still hoping the DX toy will have a rear hinged nose gear - just looks better. The rear landing gear is quite a departure from what's gone before. I quite like it.

Nikka from the Barrel. Lovely stuff. And yes neat. Always!

Scyla, yes the hinge extends. Rather than pick at it from one end with a fingernail, try to do both ends at once. Hope that helps.
