Second last, found a good fight for the latest model Rau..

Queadluun Rau defeats the almighty Red DRAGON!

(can we post multiple images in one go? this is a nightmare replying all the time for different images..! ugh*)

oops, howd this get in there

These things are HUGE.

Beauty n the beast, nuttin to do with macross, but they are near where I was doing the photos so hey, what they heck!

playboy collectors doll vs Clive barkers Tortured Soul Lucidique... who will come out on top? (*no lesbian jokes pleeeease )

This is the lancer 1.12 scale buildup from a while back, not the best execution, but it transforms well, just sooooooooo top heavy! Have a Stik version to make as well as the non transformable versions.....

Heres the attempt at Millias ........

Well, i haven't done anything more on models other than take those pix that Sebastian wanted on the green Rau, so here tis!

Hey, thanks for all the feedback guys, really makes it worthwhile taking time to post pix n stuff, so tah very much!

Sebastian, thanks, I will try n take some photos when i get off the net of the other Raus, cuz my camera freezes the computer.

You will notice the lack of sanding n finer points on the older ones, but I was really happy with the paint job!

Knight26, I actually DO plan to do the Ger, cuz I got one from HLJ in the same batch as the vf2ss and Raus, and I also have the Officers pod to make as well,... they will come later though. Guaranteed I will post though! hehe

Mechleader, Im in Australia, no such thing as Walmart, but we do have a K-mart ! thres a ____-mart in every country! Dig out those cupboards, post pix of models when you have built, no excuses ! ! hehe j/k

Valk Nut, get em out of HLJ, think this is ur cheapest option hey! Thats where I get mine unless sold out then its WHEREever I can lol..! Agentone,Mcbride, Abomz, thanks for the comments!

Wm Cheng, thanks, the clear coat is Hemler Crystal Koat, and Im using tamiya acrylics, so I can paint without worries of dying of fumes.. . Im in process of making a ride armour non transformable, which im going to try this clear coat on again, but with the oils, I have some cheapo artist oils, does any do? And do I use mineral turps to both thin down and clean up?

Im not keen on ruining these others till i perfect it(clear coat, maybe it was too cold when I did it? ), or get better, and I must say that I have only used it cautiously on one part of the vf2ss, so maybe it was a one off problem?

I know you use lacquers WM, but im guessing all is equal after clear coat, so what is the deal on oils? anything do?

oooh.. typed to much, hehe...

Thanks again! I will keep working on these Ride armours! Test the clear coat again, fingers crossed, then will post results! might take a few days cuz im working and here in australia its FREEZING at the moment, and the garage is lacking in the insulation dept.

tah!

Sam

be great if someone could confirm that it WAS made.

Is this confirmation enough?

Man, that looks sweet. You're one lucky guy.

Maybe wwwmwww could pass it to one of our great recasters and.....well recast it for the masses?

over 100 small parts I think, kinda fiddly... dont think it would be financially viable somehow.......

Nice idea though

(4) R you thinking of making it?

Eventually... if I ever get some free time. That might be 20 years away.

I will ask you in 20 years time hows it going then eh? by then we will be grumpy old men with gandalf beards........

VERY nice.

Great colours black n red.

Did well for handpainting too. Cant see streaks or anything, which normally i do ! heh

Thanks M.Leader.

Im really really really wanting to use oil washes, but im worried bout the clear coat that I have, as it has been warping the paintwork, so basically no clear coat=no wash with oils.

Im working on it though, i love wm's stuff, its awesome !

As for the mospeada kit, have you ever done one of the transformable ones? I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of ur one if you have one? Im busily working on this non transformable at the moment, sanding away..

I'l post pix when its at an 'interesting' stage.

! B)

Looks good. Nice to have a bit of action? happening with displays.

Isn't it cute how you have a baby blue max valk right beside daddy max valk

BTW, I just checked out ur website images, nice collection there, like ur super real robots cabinet too..! Am thinking of trying to find an orguss mech, see if i like em or not. hehe

I would really like to see everyones completed models they have made. I dont think I have seen the models collection before on here, only toy collections, but if you have a set of models, please dig up your camera and post a pic!

I will soon, but my camera freezes my computer so will do that later, but hopefully you guys can start it off yeh?

Look forward to seeing what everyone has, dont be shy!!!!!

those Q-Rau models rock! i wish i could do stuff like that B)

hey, you can, just remember,...

"use the force, V.Nut."

even without massive painting these things look good beside ur other same scale models.

For 50 bucks its a great deal, its not often you get a huge figure with features for such a decent price.

I've seen them at Wal-mart and today at TRU, Target here is always sold out of them.

Don't feed the scalpers!

Oh if your desperate you can order online, thats how I got mine, saved a lot of looking around for it, but shipping was a pain.

who has this for 50 bucks online ?

I like ur avatar... nightcreeper from Cobra? I think i have that figure.. cool ninjaesque with wicked swords.. hehe

Sounds like Kevin could import a container load and sell them all out.

I reckon it looks quite good for a boot. Funny how they have all the better pictures of 1/60 though, as if someone would be that silly to believe its the same...

Shoulda picked up a heap to bring back to Australia Sebastian! Im in the middle, *or should i say first quarter* of customising a boot I started a long time ago...its kinda fun, but had to do a lot of re arrangeing the insides so it can tranform still..

I wonder who made the original sculpt of the 1a bandai/tak head? it could never have ever looked good no matter what year it was done........

For those of you concerned you won't be able to get one cause it will be a TRU exclusive and there are no TRU's in your area don't worry, Probably the TRU only release is for the US market only. Also if not, you can easily order it over Amazon as amazons toys sale department is TRU.

unless your overseas.. Amazon TRU dont ship international. Been trying for years to get them to send me stuff.....have to send to a US address... stinks......

www.Bigbadtoystore.com has prime as pre order...............

oh, btw..........showoff!!!!!

hehe j/k

very envious indeed

be great if someone could confirm that it WAS made.

Is this confirmation enough?

*oooooh shudder*

Yeh, I think that confirms if for me

So what did that set you back? and im guessin that where ever you got it, no longer sells it?

Is this Carl that has all the models in the world ever from past to present? R you thinking of making it? Or more a shelf display kinda thing ?

I would like to know if they are still available. I reckon with a *lot * of patience, I could make it....maybe...

hurumph.. armada toys blow. .. cant believe i wasted money buyin some of those, hoping they would 'grow' on me... ugh...

As for alternators, they will be very, VERY,good..

check this pic for the proper look.. I think it is very old school, just with a new car mode

The robot reminds me of the old targetmaster, pointblank.

*shuffles around looking for wallet so I can buy one and look at it and give an honest opinion of how good it is for V.Nut, and not because I now want one after reading all these damn posts UGHHHHH*

Can someone post me some bandaids? Cuz im gonna need em when the other half knows what im doing.....

great job. keep it up!!

thanks Isamu Atreides, I will !

Just started another model. Its mospeada ride armour, so I wonder if anyone will be annoyed if I still showed pix here being mospeada n all?

Fluke, or Rook, 1/15 scale. Looks cool .. at least it does on the box... we shall see. .. heh

*in my heart, stik is still scott and hes still waiting for admiral hunter to arrive back to earth.. hehe*

Yeh thats an awesome kit. First time I saw it on the old boards I searched all over ebay trying to find it for sale , to no avail!

be great if someone could confirm that it WAS made. I have never wanted to get a garage kit till i saw that!

Looks like perfect transformation, and it LOOKS good in all modes !

I'm still Barph, and I'm still lurking around,

but now now I have an even creepier avatar....

Geeez.... that avatar scares me.........

in a "silent hill' kinda way.....

creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy

Free bag of Jelly beans to who can answer me
