Going to be doing more artwork folks; stay tuned...

UPDATE:
Pin and joint completed, and the project is in decalling and weathering now:
The weathering's a little heavy; that said, I'll be toning it down a bit once I get a chance tomorrow night. I need to go back over the valk with base color (white) to "ghost" the shading.
Stay tuned... still need to finish details and make a canopy cover...

Yes, lets see some valks. Personally I find them to be the most difficult.
Okay...
Still got some work to do, but the shoulder hinges are now rebuilt and in place, and decalling is going quite well. Just need to do some panel-line shading and silver for edge-wear, amongst other things.
Full update in the thread for this in a bit; I want to get some Battroid pics as well.

Well, wondering about the nose and canopy myself. That said, a session pulling some heated plastic over a wooden mold should handle the canopy issue...
(...then it sets in: start making hands for it, split the main body along the transform line panel for the shoulders, articulate the head....
..and next thing ya know, I'm ready to throw it across the room again!

Not the best choice of words for a title hahaha, still regretting it because even I picture a YF-19 inside a blender, every single time
It's all good
Just having a little fun with the title here.
All of that said, your work on this is really outstanding! The demo reel just blew me away!

Not yet. I've built a VF-25 Messiah before, but not the Prophecy version.

Small Update:
Working on the shoulder hinge pin now. Yeah, it's a bit of a pain, but I'd like to get this fixed ONCE and never worry about that again.
The pin itself is metal; the plastic piece above it is just a tool I use to push it into place. I had to scrape paint away from where the new pin-mounting went into place (yeah, it doesn't look like it but the paint was scraped down to bare plastic). Once the work is done, cleanup and a repaint are in order, then it just slip-fits back into the rotational mounting for the arm transform.
The next step is to make the mountings for the arm/shoulder joint side and connect it to the metal pin. I have a few ideas about that one and have tried a couple already. I should have this done soon, then back to the finishing stage. But at this rate, anything else that looks weak or about to give out is going to be replaced with metal pins and heavy reinforcement.
By the time I'm done with this project, I think most of it will have been scratch-built.
Stay tuned...

Is this mod still going?
Yeah; I just read this entire thread and I'd like to know as well if work is still being done on this. It looks REALLY good and I'd like to see if anything else has been done with it!

UPDATE:
Decided to hold off on the pre-shading and whatnot until decalling; that said, some pics for everyone:
Meantime, the flip-out hinge for the arms snapped on one shoulder, so I'm rebuilding both hinges; the swing joint to deliver them to the shoulders is fine, though. I'm working on them now, and hope to have pics of more work in a day or so.
Stay tuned...

my arch nemesis for a couple of painful days playing Armored Core 4 Answer
had to change it up completely, cuz my preferred type of chassis and weapons where useless!!
that version of white Glint was made by our beloved Kawamori-Sensei

good oldschool checkerboard
added with some brown, yellow and green!
i was thinking about this, and its most like something like this, ill end up doing, perhaps a touch of greyish-brown in the mix
something like this:

nice collection of paint schemes might refer to some of them later

UPDATE:
Finally....PAINT!
This is just "first colors", where the initial colors are applied. It's streaky and patchy a bit; I already know that and it's deliberate. I'm going somewhere with this, so don't worry.
Next step is applying "pre-shading" and following a kind of off-shade "patchwork" like USN fighters have after being in service for a bit.
Stay tuned...

Great post; some days, i wish I had my own machine shop.
I'm lucky to have a dremel tool.

So you're saying that body of water the ship was parked in might have been less of a lake and more of a septic tank?

EWW.

Just testors, and I use it sparingly. And yeah: the clear layer gives it something to dissolve and bind to.
-
Perhaps paint it varying shades of dark and light grey, with yellow and black striping on certain areas, as if it were a prototype?
-
It can;I usually take and back-paint my clear parts with silver, then clear coat the backs. I usually have good luck with that.
-
I just use model cement and polish the parts once applied with toothpaste and a cotton swab.

The 113 is single seat; the room behind it in the cockpit allows for a second seat to be installed if needbe. And it's designation is fighter.
a better look at it:
I decided that an old design I created a while ago deserved a second chance.
