nice

ahh Lego so much fun.

Nice custom. someone certainly spent a lot of time there.

Thanks David I had a rough idea of how it works but now I have a much better idea.

Paitence young padawan

Looking good. yeah do the pannelines and put the thruster points on too ( little black circle things)

Kinda says to me that some batches werre better than others.

MT you gotta love the like of Homebase and Tesco for pumping out the Xmas stuff really cheap just after the event. Roll of blue led tree lights for £5 reduced from £20...... I think so !

You know I have Yammato Valks and they are great but I could never mod them or would risk a repaint, but the Chunkies they offer so much that you can or could do. they are far more robust than the Yammies and far far cheaper unles you go for Uber rare etc. even whwn the supply of bashed up Jetfires dries up we still got Cheap £5 bootlegs to mess with. When I finish my current mod (eventually) Im gonna mess with some Fastpack reconfigurations. I like the idea of a combined thread or web page even if its not a t MW its better than nothing. I think the trouble is everyone here has moved on to Yammies and cant be bothered with the old stuff that they see as inferior. Sadly the toy guys are not usually interested in modding and the model guys who are usually highly skilled in the required areas are far to spoilt for choice by Hasegawa and co. Lucky for me I like both although I like models and Chunkies best.

LOL Next he`ll do a 1/200 ARMD1

Payment sent

It was the gunn that kinda got me thinking of the lookie likee nature of it. All we need now is Exhibitt and Tim Westwood to Pimp our Rides

Mee too. Its bad enough that if you stare at them too long they fall over (damm loose joints) without taking em out of the cabinet and actually touching them. I have one of the screw covers from a HIkaru which has been sat on a south facing window ledge for arround a year now and is still minty fresh. Im gonna leav it there to see what happens.

Anyone who speaks the lingo should ask him to come over here and post in MW, or failing that maybe we could be allowed to put his work in the custom section on the main site.

Sadly there isnt a master thread although if Skull-1, KingNor, Zanderwitaz, and co want to get together with me Im sure I could come up with a webpage for one. May be then they could post it on the MW main site and attract some new 1/55 nuts. As far as where to start ... There are so many things you can do I supose that a good point is Skull 1`s A Stance mod its easy and fairly quick to do and is a major improvement., From there you could do the Swing arm mod, this cleans up the nose area on the valk, then do the foot mod to give the more Anime acurate slatted foot with pannel lines at the bottom That mod is acheived by various methods and is easy. Once you go from there you can do this arm mod and then things like the retractable hand mod and some anime corrective cosmetic mods. As Im sure your aware Skull is making an "Ultimate modded 1/55" but he has done this before and everytime he `s almost done he thinks up another great mod to add to his list IMHO what we need at MW is a thread area dedicated to mods of the toylines and also some web page action too.

oh my god !!

He he these things pop up regularly at MW I have all of them (well all the ones I have ever seen ) as big avi files they are cool to watch even if you dont speak any Japanese.

Looks a little like the Stampeed valk to me.

I think it has there has been a definate increase in the ammount of tat TF`s on the bay suposed "rare" and "complete" ones that are anything but. The good thing is it will die down soon, just in time for the next TF films release There was a time when $14 Jetfires were a plenty

Well ya beat me to it. My arms ar probably no th ebest to do comparisons with due to all the other mods done on them but that kinda what I was picturing doing. There was a time that there were loads of orange boots on the bay. Any boot is a good boot when mixed with the normal Bandai spares.

Looks interesting. worth a look even if you cant make kits, just look at the previous winners pictures.

They are a regular on eBay I see em all the time (there were some on therre the other day) I bought a bunch of em a while back for a few bucks each.

I use it I mostly use Surfacer 1000, other than that I have used Auto paint primer on 1/55 and big scale things, but for small scale stuf its a bit thick, so I stick to Tamiya and Mr Surfacer. Cant say if its the same as white base as. it is much better than dark colour primers for the really light colours. I have backed it a light coat of matt black to help with the bleed through on really dark colours

Have you seen the price of SW figures in Japan. I mean they are expensive in the U.K but compared to Japan they are cheap.

I use it straight from the bottle my air brush is fine with it. I just soak it in Widolene/windex after. The only bit that gets really gummed up is the defuser in front of the needle. It cleans out o.k and the Furure comes off in one go.
