awesome work

isn't that charaworks?

yes, you are right.

see this link --- http://www.hkml.net/Discuz/viewthread.php?...&highlight=

If you take your time you can make the Bandai's look decent.

Here's one I did of a modified VF-1D with fastpacks. I threw in a comparison shot of it next to a VT-1 Ostrich from Hasegawa as well.

I don't think it was mentioned here but the Bandai's are fully transformable (with the swapout of a few parts) and the Hase's aren't. With Hasegawa if you want to display multiple modes of the same fighter you have to buy separate kits, and they don't make a Gerwalk, that requires the bashing of two kits together (fighter and battroid).

Grayson, I love this Vf-1D so much. It's so cool.

Can you tell me where did you get the fastpack for this? From 1:72 bandai super Valk fighter?

sorry for the late reply.

those hands of gerwalk were came from bandai 1: 100 master grade gundam, zaku.....whatever.

Fai, some more reference for you.

They r bandai/imai kits

Hi jeff,

Is it new photo? It looks much more smarter than the old photo

This is my model from this year.

jeffQ

nice to meet u here.

wow!!! looks great

Very nice work man, I tip my hat to you!

I agreee with the coment regarding the sculpt of the old bandai kits, Besides the nose the rest can be made to really pop with just a little work.

Chas, the Bandai Gerwalk kits don't come with any knww cap, just that one piece joining the lower leg to the intakes.

Cheers,

Berttt

Thx Berttt.

I did read the post of your gerwalk. Those panel lines are really great and I am waiting for your great job.

Yes, you r right. My Bandai kit didn't come with the knee caps for gerwalk mode but came with knee caps for super valk mode. Actually, I have modified them for my gerwalk but forgot to put them on while taking the photo

Those look awesome man, really really awesome. They don't look like the Bandai kits at all. Did you use and Hasegawa kits in the process?

thx grayson72

yes, I used hasegawa parts on cockpit also. It's easy to get a spare seat from vf-1d, vt-1 or ve-1.

And the hands/palms r came from bandai MG kits. As what I remember, the blue one with mg gp02 hands and the red one with hands of rx78.

To other guys,

thx a lot.

herewith some of the photo in the process.

the original colour of the kit is in red. the parts in white colour r reconstructed by styrene board. Speak frank, I think the original shape and feature of both old valk kits r not bad. What I had done is only rebuilt the joints of legs and feet. To modify the gesture and then add some details on them.

just completed a pair of gerwalk and want to share with u guys.

Both of them r old bandai plastic kits (content same to imai old kits).

The blue vf-1j was modified from 1:72 transfromable kit. i have fixed it in the gerwalk mode and now it cannot transfrom anymore.

This one is the 1:72 bandai super valk which can be assemble to a gerwalk mode. the cone nose was replaced by a spare part of Hasegawa kit.

hope u guys like them

Here are some pics of various bits that I am modifying - nothing is finished yet.

Corrected Arm compared to stock arm:

[attachmentid=41143]

Corrected nose (I have another master of just the nose cone to make copies):

[attachmentid=41144][attachmentid=41145]

Scribed leg detail compared to a ahse fighter leg:

[attachmentid=41146]

the Scribed detail on leg looks so great

He's not human. That's pretty crazy work there. I wish I could do something like that without having to spend too much time on it though. I have other things to do...

... but still, that posable Focker pilot was just about the craziest thing I ever saw.

another work built by that crazy guy

Hi Graham.....Nice to meet u.

I think I met u before......in a workshop....don't know I am right or not.

Wow, I see a million and one parts in that tray organizer thing you have.  Do you have some kind of assembly line process? 

Really great work you got goin' on.  I'm really lovin' the custom paint schemes.  Keep posting!

thx gabe Q

they r parts for two vf-1s only.

Did you use pure white for the white parts or is it a subtle shade of gray?

330659[/snapback]

it's Mr Hobby no.1 pure white. I don't have an airbrush. So just use "spray can " to do the painting job with some pastel and chalk shading.

Grayson72, I saw some of your work. They are great. Would u mind to teach me how to draw the seam line/panel line on the decal? Or give me a link for reference. thx.

May I ask your valks lack the speedbrake?

Nice work by the way, very smooth.

u mean these? (shown on the pic)

sorry, I forgot to put them back on the bodies while taking the photo.

Nice anime look and scheme, but, something is missing 

330540[/snapback]

but, something is missing ＜ï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼yes, u r right

and the pilot. U can find, I made quite a lot of mistake on the painting. And the gesture, I think I made it wrong also. Now it looks like a bus driver holding a steering wheel.

Hi all,

this valk was finsihed 2months before. I tried to imitated the partial colour scheme of the vE-1 on the main body and changed the fast pack to white and orange. No special reason or concept for these changes. Just want to make it looks different.

When are you going to post pics of your other valks?  Why is your valk missing its airbrake?  I've got so many questions...

330398[/snapback]

oh, sorry for late reply.

air brake<--------dropt. I didn't glue them and now all of them r keeping in a little drawer.

other valks<----------coming now

I'm curious about how you got the panel lines on the Angel Bird. Are those pastel wash or just the lights influence on the paint?

I could easly see those Angel Birds being a new form of the Blue Angels.

Hmmm...... Valks performing as Blue Angels.....

Panel lines....u mean the seams?

I used GSI NO.28as the main base colour, then used Tamiya X11(chrome silver....it's not off white) to fill in the seams. Sure, some of the paint will come outside the seam. Then I used Tamiya X-20 thinner to remove the paint outside the seams.

And u can see, for the red and blue Stripe pattern. I used brown and dark blue to fill in the seams.

For a newbie, the modeling skills you applied are really good. Nice to see more people sharing their works.

328655[/snapback]

Well I think he's a newbie to MW not to modeling.

328663[/snapback]

Yes, u r right. newbie to MW.

And newbie to "Hasegawa Macross model".

But not newbie to modeling.

So happy to know u guys like my valks.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Actually, I am really a newbie of macross kits. I started to build valks since april of this year and now I can't stop building valk

I will post more photo of the other valks later.

Hi all,

I am a newbie. Nice to meet u all

First time to post my model here. enjoy
