    Beautiful! Unbelievable and beautiful.

    Yellow's will have to be a compromise if you want to do it without mixing and in a spray can. The instructions call out a 90:10 mix of H56 intermediate blue with H5 blue. So a little bit darker, more saturated than straight intermediate blue. In Tamiya's Ts spray paint I would be looking at ts57 blue violet. It may be a little on the lighter side in tone, but in that line it's the closest I can see, and it doesn't look that far off.

    Hey 505th I meant to comment on this earlier. The Mospeada is looking really good. What colour did you decide to go with in the end.

    No plans to do any weathering right now. Struggling to rescribe some of these ultra fine panel lines before I do the clear coat, panel lining, and decals. Pretty much resigned to losing a lot of the smaller shapes on the surface. The lines are just too fine, and have rounded corners - always had trouble rescribing rounded shapes.

    A quick shot with tha base coat down and most of the detail paint done most of the markings (yellow and red) have decals. I'll give them a try, but I don't have a lot of confidence that they will turn out. If my fears are correct I'll have to do them with a brush.

    Nothing quite as 'out there' as Chris Foss' s colour schemes. The instructions call for an all over light gray, but I think I'm gonna do a 1:1 mix of flat aluminum and light gray with some dark gray details ant the standard yellow markings.

    https://evergreenscalemodels.com/collections/plain-opaque-white-polystrene-sheets Scroll down and look for the thickness you want. Most brick and motor hobby shops and model train shops will carry a variety of evergreen products or find an online shop that has what you want in stocks. That Mospeada is looking pretty darned sweet 505th, and electric indigo I completely agree with you about that chopper! ( of course your modelling skills and great photography go a long way in swaying my opinion) Just about done the assembly on this 1:3000 Hasegawa Creator Series Cordoba model from Crusher Joe. Definitely one of my favorite Kawamori designs!

    Just incredible.

    Had the dull coat on the 1S go cloudy and had to to deal with that before I finished it off with the clear bits. Calling it done now. Here's a slightly blurry phone snap of the pair as they sit now.

    That's some great, clean detail. How much of it will be visible when it's all closed up?

    Holy crap! That's some fantastic engineering and machining. You've got an awesome set of skills. Love seeing your stuff- always leaves me dumbfounded. Here's a look at the 1:100 VF-1S before and after oil weathering. And the torso done wings not. I have a problem. I cannot leave decals unscuffed.

    Thanks. â…“ jar of Tamiya XF2 white with 6 drops of XF24 dark Grey from a paint brush.

    Decals mostly done(Just the gun and hand Decals left). Some detail paint and weathering tomorrow.

    Getting set to gloss clear coat Wave's 1:100 VF-1S with Future. Planning Togo a little easier on the weathering this time. We'll see how it goes.

    It's the colour recommendation in the instructions for Tamiya's 1:32 Type 21 Mitsubishi Zero kits, so if you want to see what it looks like sprayed on just do an image search for those and you'll get a good idea. It may be a little light, but with weathering that should work out fine I'd think. (Just realized Stig's ride armour is numbered 21 and is really close to the colour the type 21 Zero . . . Hmmmm🤔 Anyone else think that is more than a coincidence?)
  16. Chas
    The closest Tamiya Spay can I can think of would have to be AS-29 Gray Green.

    So in love with your painting and finishing skills. Always so clean and perfect. I've put the scratch/bash SBY carrier away for a bit. That's what comes from making it up as I go - I tend to take long breaks while I mull over where to go with it. In the mean while I had a go at finishing up this 1:100 Wave VF-1J battroid. As usual I think I went a little too far with the weathering, particularly the 'chipping', but it's too late now. Just a few minor touch-ups and off the bench it goes.

    Have had plans for doing the same for a few years now. After researching what others have done, I'd suggest looking into getting something like one of these to base the mods around. https://www.hlj.com/1-12-scale-sozai-kun-m-size-flesh-ylsppc-t62

    That VF -1J is by the same fella whose VF-1D and VT-1 I posted back on the 1st page of this thread. Dude is still killing it! He also does a Wave Starship Troopers Powered Suit in B&W manga-esque style using gradient tone transfers like the old Letratone sheets. It's way back from May 2015.
  20. Chas
    Yeah, kinda makes you wonder, if the design changed so much from the art work to the artifact why they would bother to show them together.
  21. Chas
    That piston in the front of the shin area is bugging me. Why would you need such a large piston in that spot? It's not visible in the artwork, which I think looks better ( in that area at least).
  22. Chas
    Love the pics of all the classic Orguss kits! These are mine. Can't wait to add the new Moderoid to the set.
  23. Chas
    That illustrated three-quarter view of the head looks a lot better. On the shots of the prototype the raised chest piece blocks the bottom of head, which creates a very Optimus Prime looking mask effect.
  24. Chas
    That's almost exactly what I thought. There's definitely a Transformers feel to it.
  25. Chas
    What the heck is going on with the head unit on that Legioss/Alpha?
