Nice!!!

Wow! Great job! It's very inspiring to know that you finished this in 11 days!!! Thanks for sharing!

LOL! Great stuff!

Wow! Very nice for "noob" modelling!

Cool stuff. Thanks for the scans!

Wow! Great job!!!

Stupid psych tests. I guess I'm inflexible. Rei's turning CCW for me no matter what, particularly looking at her feet, knees, and tush/pelvis. The dancer is CCW only - look at the shadow (they should've removed it and the figure tilt). So, which do you like better, chocolate or the color blue?

Yeah, I know how it goes, all these grand plans... At least you're doing stuff which beats 99.5% of the rest of us! Keep it up!

Cute Loli! LOL! Very admirable for trying water colors. Would love to see more! ps - What became of the 3D DYRL Minmei model?

Wow!!! Nice work! I really like the paint job on the YF-21!

Beautiful work! Love the paint job & details!

Beauty! Nice work. I love the 2SS design!

Wow!!! Nice!!!

Wow!!! AWESOME custom!!! Is this why everyone's always blaming you?!???

*LOVE* the lines on the mechs - VERY fluid & organic (almost birdlike). Looking forward to seeing more!

Neat color scheme & beautiful execution! Great job!!! If you don't mind me asking, what did you use for the decals?

Neat! I like the Milia scheme. It'd be great with the 1/100 valkyries and possibly the 1/60's. Looking forward to seeing the results!

Congrats on the anniversary and thanks for the great update! Looking forward to many more!

Nice work!

Cool LEGO! Thanks for sharing the find!

Pretty darn ambitious (or masochistic)! Some thoughts though I'm sure you already know all this: I thought Hasegawa kits were made so well that one didn't need putty (using the melt & squeeze method). I think Walmart has liquid plastic cement along with all the CA super glue types. If they don't have putty in the toy model section, head over to the automotive section and get some spot putty. Get the red stuff from the tube - it's similar to Squadron Green putty. There's Bondo too if you really need it. Get sandpaper & paint from the toy, auto, or hardware depts. Once you lay down your spray primer (I'd go with Testors Model Masters spray but it's more expensive), you can spray or brush paint. Testors spray or the little bottles will give you more colors but again, it's more expensive. The alternative is Krylon spray in the paint section. Re: metal finish: IMO, if you're not spraying w/ an airbrush, I don't think it makes a difference what spray or brush-paint you use. IMO. I would still suggest a primer. MechTech had a good point about warming up the spray can in warm water. Just a note, use warm water; do NOT use hot water. And if you haven't brush painted in a while, thin out the paints properly & practice a little. Re: clear coats: use Testors Glosscote or Dullcote in spray or brush-on form, or that Krylon clear coat you found. If your store has the el-cheapo airbrush (Badger?), you can get a quart of Future acrylic floor wax; clean with Windex or an ammonia-based cleaner. You can also dip the canopy in it to get that ultra slick sheen. If you do, protect it from dust as it dries. FYI - This is how I built what little I've actually built. Just some thoughts. Looking forward to seeing the progress & end result! Good luck!

Gorgeous! Great pics!

That's pretty neat! Uh, if you wanted to style the vehicle after the VF-25, should it sport the yellow SMS hex logo rather than the NUNS logo? I don't recall seeing NUNS with the VF-25. Might save on the explanations too. How do they make & apply the custom decals, BTW? Can they do full-color ones or just minimal color, solid graphics?

Nice work, polidread! Love the coloring, especially the highlights! Looking forward to seeing more as well as the cosplay!

I don't have a pic but have you seen this? The SDF & Zentraedi ships are shown. Good luck!
