I found this on Google Images. Just for fun can you tell who makes this?

sorry, double post....

BTW, the jung customs are awesome.

finally got a couple of those display cases from ikea. too bad they can't hold more i.e. per shelf.

What hands are you using for the Max VF-1S?

They look pretty cool, and much better than the frail hands Yamato used.

Excellent work Kurt.

How long does it take to complete one of these customs?

Sorry, my stockpile has no minty nosecones.

Where exactly is that place?

Just need the exact location.

Thanks,

I think one of the funiest episodes, was when Buttercup (Green PPG) discovered the toothfairy gives you money for your teeth.

I don't want to spoil it, but you really should see it.

It's not really aimed at girls, it just very humourous. You really need to plunk down and see a few of the episodes.

They are quite funny.

  wowsers!!! mari at Hotel Cafe.... i'm so down to go.... There's a super talented singer named Sara Barailles that i go to see there all the time....

but MWCon is on Sunday, June 19th??? DAMN IT!!! haha... that's my graduation date from UCLA..... i'll be walking down w/ a cap and gown in the morning..... i wonder if i'd have time to make it down... sigh... haha

Graduation is more important than an obsessive hobby... rite???

what time is MWCon scheduled for?? 

But in order to graduate, you must learn to spell correctly.

Rite?

whould a jetfire nose "bolt up"to a reissue? (to get the correct stubby look)

It would bolt up without a hitch, but then that would mean a total repaint of he nosecone and the entire valkyrie itself (so the color would be consistent throughout).

As previously suggested, just paint the nosecone of the VF-1J resissue.

****Always remember less paint mean less paint chips.

What is he reading off of the inside of his air brake?

It's actually a compact mirror. The valk is just to pretty and vain to go into battle. Unless it's a catfight!! 'Cuz then Meltrandi BIOTCH, IT'S ON!!!

Got two more for the "List of the Elightened".

Cube - Thanks for the 3 VF-1S(s), (es), (si)??? Which is it?

Lu523 - Thanks for the VF-1S Roy. Yes just one.

I totally agree with ChristopherB. Also, speaking from experience, a very effective paint remover is called Scalecoat. This media is spefically designed to remove paint from any plastic of resin parts without consequences. The paint that needs removal does not require soaking of parts. It is very easy to use and can be done by just swabbing Scalecoat over the paint to be removed and after a few minutes just wipe the paint away.

A VF-1J Reisssue is the most recommendable walk to use as it required only removal of the red paint that destiguishes to be a 1J. The other marking can be left alone and will give you a much cleaner and more orginal look to your custom.

With regards to the resin items, all parts must be cleaned, sanded, filled, sanded, primed (this is my method of choice), as it helps to remove imperfections from the recasted items. You can use a paint from Krylon (Smoothest Finish) grey to completely match the original color of the VF-1J plastic.

I have posted several pictures of a VF-1A low vis that has this technique applied to it. Mind youm this was the first time I used Scalecoat and Krylon Smoothest Finish Paint, with exemplary results. Search for the thread the pictures are rather large but you'll get the picture.

NOTE: You will note that the metal parts are the only painted items, while the blue parts are actually dyed (Plastikote, Shale Blue).

Good Luck on your custom, and have a blast doing it. Don't forget to post pics of your progress.

Well here it is:

1/60 = 4

1/72 = 2

1/48 = 1 (Super 1J), thanks honey!!!

Others:

1/55 = 36

1/100 = 8

JM = 1

1/55 = Toynami Roy 1S

Much more to come....

Looks good., though fof some reason or another it kind of seems as if it could be the cousin of "Galaxy Defender."

Excellent custom, I trully admire your very original work.

Nice job!!!

Nice shirt.

I like the colors used. The font could be that of the Taka Box. Also you could place the female drawing (on the inner leg of the suit) on the right arm.

Are these going to be available after the Con?

That is pretty ingenious.

If this were made a few years ago and lot less expensive I would have gotten it for my father.

Very serious, and I will start a thread when I receive it and begin construction.

Thanks,

Alex

Chris,

Thanks, your making my dreams reality.

Alex

you guys are lucky, all i get from my GF is headaches and blow j.....

whoops! wrong forum. 

Aren't headaches and B...J...s the same?

Skippy438,

You have chosen a very cool thread to start, Kudos.

Well, last year my wife bought me my first 1/48 (1J Hikaru with Super Packs), and throughout the rest of the year she has purchased about 20 more valks (of various scales).

This year she has already set aside a fund to purchase for me as a gift, on my B-day:

- 1/48 GBP

- 1/100 Koenig Monster

- 1/48 Roy (third edition)

- 1/48 Strike Pack (for Roy)

- and who knows what other things she (yes, she) has in mind.

My wife is my everything. I love her whole-heartedly, and I appreciate everything she does for me. I can never say I could ever be whole with out her.

i don't care what you say, I love the ugly duckling of the Macross world!

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do,

Alex Tribec says, "The categories are, "Name that sweet FSS", "What's my FSS name, Biotch!", and "Who's your BIG RED FSS DADDY!""

Alex - Zero-Mare this is your thread so you get to pick the category.

Zero Mare - "I'll take, "What is my FSS name, Biotch!, for a thousand."

Alex - The answer is, "Who is the FSS mecha, NB4M seeks?"

Zero-Mare Rings in and answers, "What is Phantom?

Alex delcares, "Wrong, and now you DIE!!!" (shoots index card at jugular of Zero-Mare.)

Highlander hesitantly rings in. "What is Ashura?"

Alex - "Ooohh, I'm sorry. You got the right answer but phrased it incorrectly. It should have been, ASHURAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! GGGRRRRRAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" (Alex yields a giant cue card from behind and slashes Highlander to bits.)

The answer is Ashura!

Thanks guys, BTW is this kit still available? How difficult is it to obtain and build?
