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. ⅓ 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?)

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.
-
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.
-
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).
-
Love the pics of all the classic Orguss kits! These are mine. Can't wait to add the new Moderoid to the set.

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.
-
That's almost exactly what I thought. There's definitely a Transformers feel to it.
-
What the heck is going on with the head unit on that Legioss/Alpha?
-
Hope this does well enough so we eventually see an Iczer Sigma.
-
Just pre-ordered the Iczer Robo from Hobby Search. Been waiting almost 40 years for a kit of that little beauty!
-
Are those miliput molds?
-
Gosh, I have no recollection of the price I paid. I just recall that the main reason that I decided to pick it up was the cost was so much less than what I had seen online before I left Canada. I don't have any pics of the kit built up, but it was this version here (except mine didn't have the rocket launcher on the left arm.

Think it was the Mirage. I got cheap in 2006, when I was in Seoul. I'd built it up ( straight OOB build) and kept it that way for a few years, but it never really grabbed me, plus the joints had gotten all floppy and it was either glue it in a fixed pose or strip it down and throw it all in the spare parts bin. I figured it was worth more to me as spares to build other stuff from, still got a butt load of goodies in my parts bin from it, so all in all I think it was a good choice.
