  1. Thanks evryone! I'm nearly finished now. Most of the weathering is finished, just need to do a few touch up details and add the final clear parts. Oh yeah, forgot about the weapons too but I'll post some pictures tomorrow of the finished plane without the weapons!

    Mallet21, I.....Love......that avatar!!!! "I'll have a Samual Jackson!!" :lol:

  2. Another :p. I've read that alot of people have had the vertical stab antenna broken off when they got there kits as I had, as you can see. I still neet to replace it. The step-by-step thread for the SV-51 has a really good way to fix it that I still need to do!

  3. Another. You really can't tell but the canopy seem came off easily with out removing the break-away lines on it beacuse the seems are on opposite sides

  4. OK, I have some update photo's. All the panels are now done,as are the vertical stabs. I started putting the decals on but I didn't get very far with them cause I wanted to give them time to dry, plus Hasegawa loxes to make dual layer decals.... :angry: Once the decals are finished I'll weather seal and put on the clear parts and weapons! Hope you like :D

  5. The little dealies on the hips of her uniform make it look like she's got huge hips...

    But she is awful wide... down there...

    Not that I'm complaining mind you...

    :lol:

  6. Thanks Again everyone!!!! Sorry I've been out of town the past week...I'm moving to West Virginia in a month and my wife and I needed to find a place to live in WV.

    Christopher, Yeah the instructions specified to do that with that section. Should I try to fix it? The Vf-1S Strike is actuallly painted Light Grey with a few lighter panels to give a slightly weathered look. The VF-1S "low vis" is just the standard VF-1S Repainted. I actually lost the remaining clear parts for that particular model....so other than the canopy there are no clear parts! as you can see in the picture. Anyone have any suggestion?

    As for the SV-51, I'm nearly done the vertical stabs and then I can decal and weather it! i can't wait!!! I'll post more pictures soon.

  7. Oh, the predator helmet in the trailer looks pretty bad ass. It has teeth.  :lol:

    Thats not the first time that Helmet is seen.....at the end of Predator 2 when the rest of the "crew/clan" de-cloaks, You can see a predator with that same mask step forward. I'll never forget it because I always thought it was Bad-A$$!!! I kept rewinding my tape so I could acurately draw it!

  8. Dobber, is that VF-1 all done by brush, too? :o

    Yup, the whole thing including the panel shading! What I do is after the base coat is down, I'll go over panel lines with a thinned darker shade(in this case dark ghost gray over the base light ghost gray) then when it's time to weather the plane I'll go over the same areas with ground pastel chalk with a brush. The more often I go over an area the darker it'll be. I tend to make MAJOR seam areas a little darker since the seal is being broken more frequently in flight due to transformation, just my theory though I painted this particular valk as if it's in the twilight of it's career, hense the pilot in the Mac plus flight suit.

  9. wow...i didn't know there were so many Pukin Dog fans around. Steady hands you have there guys.

    Would love to see more of that VF-1 and the one in Splinter camo.

    If you were talking about mine here you go!

  10. Thanks! yeah those antennas are a bit thick! Maybe someone will do a Photo-etched set some day. Good Luck though! ;)

    Wicked Ace: SWEETNESS!!

  11. Okay, at the end of Alien 3, that was supposed to be Weyland right?

    No, it was just another Bishop android. If you look carefully after "85" bashes him with the wrench, you'll see that half of his head - especially around the ear - is sorta hanging off. It was just another company trick to try to get Ripley to turn over the queen.

    Bingo.

  12. I like those fan renderings! As for the villians.....the main baddie will be Raj Al Gul (spelling?) :blink: with scarecrow cameo at the begining I think.

    As for the other Bat-movies: I liked the first one when it came out...however I remember being a little disappointed still, at the time. I guess I forced myself to like most of them except Batman and robin, because I was a fan.....but now....cant stand any of them! Might as well watch Adam West!!!

    Not sure who said it but they were correct in there assesment of the previous films, with how the Batman was a secondary character in them..I hated that!!!! Plus why do they need 2 villians in them? I don't get it. Plus killing most of them off in the end. :angry:

    The final thing that was wrong that I hope that they get right this time was how he fought. Even though the suit LOOKED pretty good it wasn't body armor!!!! they had him walking up to people they shot him he falls down and then gets up and fights them. Batman was a martial artist of the highest order. I remember in one comic he described someone trying to shoot him as being "nearly impoissible to get a bead on me once I am moving." THAT aspect was a little better in Batman Forever.

    Just my 2 cents.
