@Urashiman A YF-19 is always a good idea. Why build anything other than Macross anyway, right @505thAirborne That bike looks so cool, I'm drooling. Wave does have good quality, I have enjoyed building a couple things by them. I also really like their plastic, it is totally different than other model brands. Kind of hefty. And @Thom is building a Thomcat, go figure.

Thanks for the advice. So what ratio of my video was useless talking versus informative talking? Don't be shy, I need constructive criticism. Of course, I will be actually building stuff and showing the project plan, this was just an off the cuff test of lighting, photography and audio.

Hi All, So I made this short build video for my new project, a platform deck add-on for my 1/72 Flight Deck. It is not a public video, only you guys can see it. I wanted to ask your opinions before I release it, whether you like this kind of thing, if the quality is good enough, and if I should make more throughout the project. I'm not really into spending hours editing a professional video, but I can do something like this.

I'm half way through. My thoughts are: it totally sucks, I love it anyway, can't stop watching, they really stuck to the groove of the original, it brings back all those old memories. Question: Did they have a Hong Kong action choreographer? Because they could have really used one. -See you spaced people...

Whoa!! Great photos. The combination of flat black and white is impressive. Now I know why you painted that girl figure in black outfit, painting practice.

@joscasle That fighter looks sick!

Thanks, man. Project is not complete till I hear from you.
-
Thanks MT, you are always a great support.
-
Thank you. Obviously I am a big Sharon fan. And given the lack of figures of her, I had to go all out.
-
Thanks. Glad to make you smile, that's the whole point.

Thanks Thom. PM me if there is something you MUST have for a project. Thanks. But how did you know "Holy Idol Madness" was my project concept? Thanks my friend. I ended up covering an Idol from each series, but I didn't start with that plan. I just kept going and going. The world's greatest Macross Zero Fan @Xigfrid made Sarah Nome's necklace to complete the project. I was really excited when I realized I could make unique figures I always wanted like Ishtar, Sharon Apple, Sarah Nome, and Captain Minmay. Why would you think I'm up to something? Guess you know me too well What I lack in artistic skill, I make up with the element of surprise. But lets just say I have seven new Macross figures for the Life Boat Platform for my Flight Deck. And my motivation is to make neglected Macross figures. They are really small for a complete beginner painter like me. But I figured if I painted 20 figures, I would learn something by the end. I definitely learned some basics of hand brushing during the process, which you can't get from a tutorial, only from practice. @derex3592 You didn't tell me what you think of the little back dress?

Hi guys, So I decided to call this project done! I've shown you what I've been up to, but not EVERYTHING. I saved my favorites as surprises. I got 5 months of grueling work down to a two minute video. Hope you like it.
-
I just finished a new project I have been working on for my Flight Deck's Stage Diorama. Comments and geek outs greatly appreciated. Hope you like it!
-
I've seen that file on Thingiverse. But I didn't think it could come out so impressive. Nice work!
-
@anubis20 Your photography looks like a professional box cover. And I like the subtle shading for the paint. Nicely done!
-
Nice mix of glossy and satin finishes. And the detail painting is outstanding. Beautiful work.
-
Now that's hilarious. But I'll have to get you back...
-
@electric indigo What was your mix for the black, and the highlights? I have a little black dress I need to paint like that.
-
Nice photos. I love me some Syd Mead mecha! Don't you wish we had more?
-
On my workbench, 1/48 DYRL Minmay v2 with 1/60 Xigfrid's bike. I have a mask on the canopy, hope it comes off okay. Below was v1. I got more details to pop out, like the shoulder sleeves, and a more dynamic pose. Even tried some wet blending.
-
@electric indigo Nice work. And great photo! Tell us the background on that figure. And just for you this is "Minmay with Valk", on the Not Guilty shelf
-
Thanks, I've been meaning to try Microset. But Minmay came out good enough for me. Very pleased with her. Definitely, I didn't start this project with mini figures till I found the perfect pair. Yeah, my eye decals do look kinda like cat's eyes. But however they turn out, they are much much better than hand painting multi-colored eyes in a 1mm space. I tried, and failed miserably...

I've used From Japan for years. No complaints. Good customer service and follow up. Actually, I do have one complaint, there is too much cool stuff in Japan to spend my money on
