VF-1S Strike Battroid Valkyrie step-by-step
DrunkenMaster2 replied to DrunkenMaster2's topic in The Workshop!
I thought about making my battroid like that, but after I study it, I found that the shoulder just didn't look right. This is the picture I use to study the valkyrie. It's still an awesome job whoever did it. So after studying that guy valkyrie which is awesome, I decided to do this version, still a cool pose. -

Since I cut off the support on the arm armor I had to use styrene to attach it. Now the arm looks like the movie. I couldn't wait I put it together to see what it will look like, I haven't put on the wings or missle pods on yet. I still need to find a base, I'm looking for a wooden circle base. I like how it came out !!!!!! -

Ok finish the decals on the strike pack. All I have left is to panel the "UN Spacy" logo. Only thing I don't like the skull and white text, it's too bright, I'm thinking should I airbrush a very light coat of "smoke" over them? Any suggestion? -

Ok here is where I'm at, as you can see I apply all the booster on the strike pack. All that's left is the decals. -

ok finish touch ups and seal everything in. Here is what I have so far. Here you can see I airbrush (Tamiya smoke X-19) burnt marks next to the missile bay on the strike pack, plus I added burnt mark by the laser on the strike pack as while. I think it came out pretty good. Next I'll add the booster then finish up with the decals. I'm almost finish !!! -

Oops forgot to add how I made the highlights. Yes I used a dry brush technique using acrylic paint. The paint I use was sky blue, I tried light grey just didn't work with the color for the boosters, but when I used sky blue everything pop out. Here I use a flat brush. First I load both side with paint then with a paper towel I take off the paint (both sides) with that done I went side to side following along the edge, by doing this the paint that's left on the brush will go on only the corners thus highlighting the parts that your painting. -

Ok I finish the panel lines with black oil wash. Next I tape off the area that I don't want to spray. I airbrush alclad steel on all the parts that needed it. Next I highlight the edges on the boosters, as you can see, I highlight one part and left the other to show you how it will look if you had one highlight and one without highlight. Big difference if you didn't highlight the booster. I like how it came out, need to do some finish touches. -
It glows green, the non glow in the dark minmay top is a light pink, and the glow in the dark chase figure is all white.

Thanks Big F, I like the color choices that you had, Tamiya Medium Blue XF-18, Tamiya Flat Blue XF-8 and a dash of Gun Metal X-10. Next I'm going to seal it then do the panel lines and add highlights on the corners. Should look good. -

Finally I was able to primer and sand. Finally ready to paint. Does anybody know what color I should use for the strike pack? I'm thinking about Tamiya Medium Blue XF-18 with a couple of drops of Tamiya Dark Grey XF-24. -

Well finally found a mesh that wm_chang uses, I like it, so much better then what I was going to use. Here is the website where I order the mesh: http://www.modelcargarage.com/store/pc/vie...mp;idproduct=53 After I dry fit this part they didn't line up right, so I cut the nubs off, they fit so much better and line up great. Made it easier for me to putty and sand. -
HOLY CRAP!!!!! Great job on the VF-0S!

I thought the same thing 011, then I check out my movie DYRL to make sure. You weren't the only one that wasn't sure what number it was. Yeah for the heatshield I used the raised skull, just added the decal on top of it, had to use micro sol for that decal. -

And finally..... Next I'll finish touch ups on some parts, and finish the panels on the decals, then I can finally put the battroid together. Then start to paint the strike pack. Looks good so far, here are the three battroid next to each other, white with shade > white with shade and panel line > and finally, the decals -

Well finish the decals, and man it looks cool!! Next I'll fill in the panels. Don't use the decal for the canopy. I painted with three colors of Tamiya paints to get that light red. Here are the steps to get that color. Primer > Flat white (XF-2) > Spray a light coat of model master semi-gloss (needs the gloss of the flat white, for the clear red to work) > Clear Red X-27 (make sure it's on white, if it's on a primer the clear red will be dark, needs a white surface to work, if you did it right the clear red will almost look like pink.) > and finally a very very light coat of Red X-7 (spray too much red and you'll get a dark red). -
