HWR MKII

OK guys dont make me get one and go the whole 9yards with the seam filling, screw patching, low vis paint, stenciling and grubby combat weathering. I might just enjoy it too much.

Did some more work on the Xwing today. Got the wings attached and some more underside weathering. Those mechs look great, Too bad noone makes a 1/35 scale vulture

I freehand mine and always use a low presure on my airbrush. double action helps. Theres a good example in the thread linked below. All it takes is a little practaice and youll get the free hand soft edge pattern down no problems. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...253&hl=big+tank

It will be RC. Im headed out today to get the gear for it. Even the radar on the back will rotate.

Luke you could always make precut gliders too Im glad the test rig balance affirmed your previous estimates.

I just use gunship grey or panzer grey and call it good.

This the beast that occupying my time for the weekend. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tiger131@...lbum?.dir=/fa0b

Ensuring Quality all the way through. Good work Mike.

No i think im at the same level of geekdom as the rest of you. Its the people who buy TOYS and disassemble them just to rebuild them and try to call themselves modelers that are bigger geeks. IM NOT A GEEK IM A MODELER!

Look at my online name, avatar and sigline and what does that tell you

Im ready to pay right now.

Sell your PS2. then ask yourself where the other 150.00 dolars will come from. Used PS2s are about as common as cat turds.

Ill take mine with or without. Its big enough i ought to be able to stencil the major markings on it and use random small decals for tiny detail stencils. Id just need a scan of the full size sheet to use for a stencil template.

Too bad it doesnt split top to bottom. Building one in main cannon firing mode would be great.

Im hoping that what you say is correct on the not needing anime magic Honneamise. If it i strue then i will not be gluing certain parts to my VF-0S /w Booster when i build it so i can swap the boosters between the 2 using magnets in the parts.

I left my Fast pack engine bells off till last so they could be painted seperately. Actually i did this with all the thrusters on the packs. The areas the vernier thrusters sit in will need a metal color in them as well. I used testors Jet Exhaust for mine.

Actually 3 SV-51s are in work 1 is the balsa prototype to see if the airframe was even flightworthy(it was) and the other 2 are even better foam models, hand made by Luke(IAD). The man does wonderful work and if the weather is good his first foam airframe is going up for maiden flight testing this weekend. The second foam SV will have any needed changes incorporated into the design and then will be sent to me. I dont know if luke will do it but there have been plans in work at his RC acft group for a YF/VF-19. A few different variations of the VF-1 have been done but they arent too aerodynamically different fom an F-14 without horizontal stabs.

was that a hint mike?

Time to put the "o" face on OH OH Oh OOOOOOOOOO! Excellent work. a pic of that will be my avatar when it is finished. Giggidy giggidy giggidy!

Smooth work . I see you also have a VF-0 in work in the background too.

Good idea jardann. I just want to make it easy to transport to shows and WF when i get back to the states.

seam lines dont concern me either. i still want to look into using really strong rare earth magnets to hold the assemblies together.

Wow. Need to educate the wives guys. Mine knows the diff between a VF-1 A,J,AND S, Also knows the diff between a VF-0 and SV-51. Then again she likes macross alot too and watches it with me. nevermind.

If there was an 11 on the list id go for it but im quite happy with the 3 i have already.

you got it
