Sure did!

OK Stage 1, before I try and do some custom stickers and a bit of color add:

Hayao,

Any chance you can get us some shots of the side armor insert with out the GBP? I want to see what it makes the valk look like when the space is filled.

Thanks!

If I only had real skills, there would definitely be massive potential... for now, all I can do it paint the pieces without any fanciness...

hey guys wondering if you could lend me the ortho's you used for the VF-0

You can find what you need here:

VF-0D Scans

Hold up... those are the TV hands, yeah?

I think you mean me...

I'm using Krylon Fusion. That stuff rocks.

Ah... I remember seeing that custom now. Curious, did you paint the valk up first and then apply the decals?

:Dat

Yeah. Show us some Minmay Guard pics.

In the meantime.. guess what I'm making...

Anyone know if there is some special paper that will allow me to print my own decals?

Yamato's boxes suck @$$... accept it and move on.

holy crap...

You know, if Yamato wanted to milk the mold, I figure all they would have to do is get Big West's sign off on creating paint variations After that, all the completists would go ga ga...

there is  apartial Super O custom I made in my Bandai gallery

Tried looking through your gallery... soo many pics... my machine choked... hahahaha

I'll check it out again ina bit.

YOu gonna round that sucker out a bit?

I've been considering doing one for a long time now and was curious if anyone had done one to date. I'd like to see a finished product made from Rohby's casts specifically and don't seem to recall one ever being posted.

If you got one, post some pics so I can maybe get some ideas.

Thanks!

This thing would kick some serious arse if they narrowed out Prime's Obliques like in the lineart. It would give him the more trim and athletic look. I wonder if the width there was a necessity...

The guy there said its out this week ...

Is it really out this week?

Rick, I hope somebody can get you a replacement part.  This especially sucks, since it happened to the Max you wanted so bad.

With all those 1D conversion kits out there, some spare pieces may pop up. Post on the wnated section and see what happens.

Wanted to get this guy on the SS list. Just had a transaction with him. Smooth as butter, everything was excatly as described. You can trust hin for a good deal.

:Dat

The arm bands are not a must have but I added them on my own in order to compliment the black bands on the legs. I like the balance between the upper and lower half.

My 1D Batt

Great work Kirt! Your 1D looks so clean. Makes me want to try again.

I would say it took me about 5 weeks.  I had to deal with the gummy canopy and all of the other parts were "soft" so I had to spend the time to cure those some more.  This is just a busy time of year for everyone, so I know I can do them quicker than 5 weeks. 

As for the black arm bands.  All I had to go by was Hasegawa's painting guide and Yamatos 1/60.  Neither of these show black arm bands.  Thanks everyone!

Any of those made from a Rohby Recast?

Maybe you bought the 1/60 GBP by accident...

Nice job! I should get off my a$$ and finish mine as well...

Ahem... right.. err... modelling...

I don't doubt a word you say, but considering what 140$ can buy you today, it just seemed high. I am sure the project will be quality and I know it's gonna take a helluva lot of work, and a decent amount of material to produce. I've just never seen a recast project that costed so much before.

Not jackin with anyone, for sure.

Relative to the cost of obtaining an actual 1/55 VE-1, it's definitely a bargain, I was just sort of blown away by the initial figure.

:Dat

I would be interested but the price is pretty high.  Sounds like there's a whole buttload of pieces that would go into this and that it would be quite big, but for that price...  A tad high for me.   It's great that you're considerig this for folks though.

Well the way I see it is that it’s going to be a long process and it takes time to do it the right way. I have seen and done some mold and it’s not really easy like some would say. If you want a great product it will cost you. Price is determined by the time you spend on just putting the part on the clay and making sure that you don't miss any important thing, plus you also have to see how much its going to cost for material. I as a buyer I would rather pay a little more for a great item then pay a hell of money for junk. Just my opinion on this matter
