DAMN NICE! Thanks for sharing, please post more!!

Thanks Guys. More pics will be coming hopefully by tomorrow (provided I get home from work early enough )

Can we have some larger pics for the MW custom toy gallery?

Graham

Sure, what size would you prefer them to be? And where shall I e-mail them?

wow... what a photo shoot to accompany it.... great shots!

Thanks guys, glad you like how it turned out. I definitely asked Kurt to make a Valk that has been beaten to almost death. As much as I love looking at the pristine customs, I wanted a war-ravaged example.

The camoflague was something i always loved from real aircraft. It's a good point this is of little use in space. My vision was a Valk that would see some ground action on Earth, for Marines, by Marines

I'll try and take the more traditional "posed in a studio" shots this weekend, as well as details of the cockpit and pilot.

Personally I love seeing these mecha in more of an environmental setting

Beautiful custom, as always, from Kurt.

The only other glaring error that stands out to me are the bullet holes in the FAST packs. Through and through holes like that would more than likely detonate the ordnance inside the micro missile launchers, making the damage MUCH more visible Also, the holes in the booster portion would probably result in a pretty nasty boom too since those things are packed full of rocket fuel.

Also, no strike cannon = super valkyrie, not strike.

Other than that, I dig it. I love the concept of the ground pounder military valks. This one will be added to the customs gallery next week!

Any closeups of the pilot? Did you do a custom scheme on the pilot as well?

D'oh! You guys know your stuff! I didn't know about the UNS Marines monicker. Ah well, I think that's how the decals came. I'll feign ignorance and hopefully nobody will know

I wanted to add the strike canon and it's still on the to-do list. Just gotta find it for sale! Anyone know where stock is?

The pilot is also painted. I'll take some more pics soon.

As for the blast areas....I asked Kurt to make it look like a Valk that has been through hell and back. But I can see how precarious the damaged areas are!

I'm very happy with it. I've always wanted a custom 1/48. Finally happy I could afford something like this. I was at first apprehensive about how much this all cost (kit + Kurt's labour), but in the end it's worth it. He did an awesome job

Hello all,

I hired Kurt to customize my Yamato 1/48. I wanted something military-inspired and spent some time bouncing some ideas with him. Here are some long-overdue pics of what the end result was...

Thanks Kurt. I love it

I would like to offer praise for two exceptional sellers on the Macross Forums:

Anasazi37

Kurt

They were extremely helpful and professional in helping create the "perfect" 1/48 Yamato for me. The services they offer are truly exceptional. The end result was fantastic, and it was no doubt a pleasing experience overall. I highly recommend them!

Regards,

Christian

Thanks Valk, PM has been sent to him

I was thinking about doing that, however I didn't want to send anyone unsolicited e-mails if they had no intent of selling. Didn't want to offend any of the sellers.

I was hoping any of them or anyone would be interested in selling so they'd see my post.

But I suppose if I don't hear from anyone soon, then I may try contacting some of the custom owners directly. I just hope they won't be annoyed.

I'm working on a Macross series of photos btw, so this is the reason i'm looking for a custom. I like the realism they create.

Here's an example of a destroid shot:

I would like a more realistic piece to shoot next, so hopefully I can obtain a 1/48 custom soon

Hello all,

I am in the market for a CUSTOM Yamato 1/48 Valkyrie. if you are interested in selling, please contact me!

I would appreciate detailed pictures of what you have showing the paint scheme and quality.

I'm open to all types of jobs, but would prefer a "battle weathered" look.

Arigato!

Christian
