  1. A quick update. There was no awards ceremony at this year's WF, and I only had a grading on the VF-4; but since the results have been posted, it turns out that my 1/144 GM Sniper II Test Type was the winner of the 'Best Mecha' Award. So there ya go. It makes more sense, now lol.
  2. I'm very pleased to announce my valk snagged some Wonderfest awards! It's a stringent judging system, so these are pretty meaningful to me.
  3. Yes! That is a great build! Love the realism and added detail
  4. Derex, there's a set on the way to you! I attended WF 2023 and got some great ideas for improving the bucks for easier vac pulling, so anyone else who wanted a set, hang on, I will get them done! -Ant.
  5. Hi Here's my 1/144 "Eye-Zack" Reconnaissance-type MS. The aircraft is a support unit for the Titans' Test Team and is equipped with the sub-arms and a 120mm Zaku MG. The build is conversion of the HGUC Hi-Zak and the 80's Ewac Zak kit. I added ball joints in the head and torso, lenses in the various sensors and gun site and various other antenna and details. Painted with Mr.Color. Thanks for looking.
  6. Ok, I'm back on this! Just got some copies of the VF-4 rear canopy for my donor kit. PM me your address so I can send out.
  7. Great work! Well done. What's the reference for "Menoetius"?
  8. This is cool! Could you give me a little background on this model? I'm interested in buying a file.
  9. Thanks Valk! I'm hoping get some photo editing together and remove the stand portion.
  10. Thanks again Bolt! The markings are based on the placement guide in the VF 4 Master File and some additional information from modern fighters I have in various refs. I had to use a mix of navy, Gundam, kit and other macross sheets to get it right.
  11. Thanks Thom! It took awhile to get it done,but pretty in happy with the results.
  12. Well, I'm starting a anime scale model club. In London, Ontario if anyone is interested in coming out for a monthly meeting!
  13. Thanks Derex! Onto canopies and a really cool Moscato project next!
  14. I almost did Sharks teeth, but then the nose has the non-reflective paint! On the next one maybe, lol.
  15. Thanks Big S! That's a good idea, I forgot about that - I will spray a bit of base coat + clear over them. I may try soaking the trouble markings one more time!
  16. Build Gallery is up in the Model Kits section. Thanks!
  17. Hi All, Here's the completed build. It's the CAG bird of the (doubly) fictitious Sundowner squadron based out of the SDF-18. I went to great lengths to make the markings as authentic as possible as I could not find any decal sheets. I must thank Mark Wright for sending me an f-14 sheet, which sadly had deteriorated, but was very helpful in cutting my own masks and as guide for real decal placement! The serial number is the first part of the number and the '15' at the end represents the roll-out year, 2015. The weapons are in fact plumb and level to the plane although they look a little off kilter due to the angle is some of the pics, lol. The asymmetrical loadout is out of the Master File. There's also a couple of silvered decals I couldn't quite melt despite poking and soaking several times! Anyone have any other tricks? The kit really did have thick panel lines, but whatcha gonna do. I initially wanted to scratch build the VF-4 gunpod but then I didn't bother; I do enjoy the look of the GU-11 and I added brass barrels to it. The AN/ALQ-184 (Short) ECM Pod is a resin one from Brassin. I made up the pylon for it and the GU-11 from the spares bin. Someday I'll learn how to photoshop out the brass mounting rod, but pretty happy to have this one done as it has been a 'grail' design for me. Thanks for looking.
  18. Oooh that reminds me I have to order those myself!
  19. Oh that's interesting, I have not seen the bandai ones up close.
