And here she is, shakin that booty. hehe

i haven'te really done the whole burnt afterburners look, but i reckon its a fantastic thing to do, looks awesome !

Also did some feathering of grey on the tyres, notice the 'used' look on them? maybe the flash cuts it out too much, but looks cool anyway...

So please, leave some feedback on what you reckon..

and again, for the record, im annoyed that I couldn't leave this in the models section <_<

enjoy,

This is a quick fit test with most parts painted.. need to do some more sanding on some parts n repaint, notice the 'afterburner' blackout on the jets... rooks face looks purrtyy nuff for me, and the panel shading is there, just need to see in real life! hehe

I will make a bazooka, when i have finished the main model.......

I thought i should show this shot as it shows that shading is done on all parts, just isn't easy to see it in the full body shots, so heres the breakdown... need to clear coat and wash on these as well...

Bit of an update on this ...

Masking is such a huge part of models its not funny... i did have it competely masked up for stuff, but took most of it off before this shot

dunno if i should put these sorta shots up, might just put finished shots up... but this is just how I go about putting on the other shades and colours with airbrush, finish up with handbrush n washes...

Nice work, go the gerwalk! =)

be nice to find some of those gundam hands that ppl have used instead of those baseball mitts hey

i think i have one of those still wishing to be built someday...

I only have a timber bookcase for mine so far.

Im looking to get a mirrorbacked display case,.. when im rich.

=)

Very nice, well done

Now to find a place for the plaque, you will have to sacrifice toy/model space.... cant do that now !

ahh. perfect

Thanks guys

Anyone point me to a good set of drawings, line art, general pix so I can get a good idea of the deck?

Or even close up shots of models you have seen while surfing that show the aircraft carrier arm?

Thanks in advance..! any help appreciated..!

Hey, thanks mate.

Got that cheap max ive been looking for!! yah!

Has anyone taken a 1/48 and completely painted it? And not have the paint come off after transformations?

VERY important that I can find a way to stop paint coming off !

I know a clear coat will help, but has anyone done it? With good results?

And Im talking bout making the whole thing a different colour, not just a stripe here n there...

Tah in advance........

Sam

Thx, I totally agree on the bazooka though, I looked all through the box hopeing that it was 'hidden' somewhere on a sprue, but alas, no show.. custom time maybe!

and pfunk, Bartleys is darn rare now, saw it bout a month ago on ebay, but i had never seen a transformable one. Would be nice though

I thought the Blowspherior legs would have been thin nuff, being yellow and all?

next day off i will do more and post anyways.

tah muchly.

woo hooo.. feedback! my faith has been restored....

sorry, was in a bad mood.. ya know

anyhoo, thanks, im itching to finish it, just a time constraints ... so much to do, so little time!

Will the mods allow me to ask ppl to post model collection pix soon? I wanna see everyones made up efforts...?

wow, so happy this isnt in models anymore, probably just as happy as i am with all the feedback....... <_<

ohwell

whoops... forgot image!

hmm. that shot came up looking pretty crap...

its all panel shaded so far, still need to do a mistin to blend, but I suck at the photos..

heres nother angle..

edit

Been a long time since touching any of my models, painting wise, so thought i had better get on and do something today on my day off..

So far its just playing round with Bartleys Ride armour, 1/12 non transformable. I had a shot up in one of the other threads of the pre painted version.

This is the colour im settling on, *i like red*, see the legs, well, now that I have done the under armour, now I glue those legs together, sand, then paint them.

*why cant they just plug together with polycaps so I can paint them individually*

Anyways, its gonna be a while before i can get to it again, but as the title says, progress shots ...

C wah u reckon ppl!

Sam

Holy Crap,

extremely jealous..

*thats what you want to hear, showoff, isn't it? ? ? ?*

Id give 40 USD for that.

pity I cant read a damn thing on those auctions pages... ugh..

At least he got the beard shaping skills right..

Wow, thats nice.

man, so much in the world needs to be recast or remade.

Looks better than only fast packs..

So any recasters done this?

Are you talking clear heat shield, or clear chestplate.

Clear Heatshield.

I want to transform from Fighter to Battroid and not have to remove the cockpit canopy and replace with the battroid heatshield...

Oh yeh, Fulcy, Bloody nice mod to your yammie. Thats looks damm awesome! Looks like it could be a tad fragile? But hey, if you can do it, maybe Yamato will too? = )

thanks for the input. Too bad no one has actually made it before though.

I know it sounds kinda stupid, but has anyone tried this? I would love my 1/60 a lot more if i had a way of seeing the cockpit and NOT having to change the heatshield. I think it would be great if someone had tried to make the heatshield clear, maybe even making the raised section a bit flater, so it looked good in both modes and could still transform.

So any recasters done this?

Pretty.

Did you panel line in white at all? Cant see if you did ? Would look cool though.

And was it the 1/100 variable? Ive yet to make mine, but if it is, looks nice in fighter...

Thanks guys

Yeh, was a nice surprising look from the benchtop, didn't expect it too look like that. I was just mainly trying to make it look like some formation flying !

No plans for other mods to it, that was the only thing that was buggin me*at least, for the moment! * And those mods took all of ten minutes max. Its a case of sharp knife, careful cutting. Needs a bit of tidying, but its mostly unseen anyways...

Next project will being finishing my mospeada ride armours. Just had no time for them lately *sigh*
