Right now it is a straight oil wash with no pre shading, most of the pics that Chris showed me the panel lines do not have any real "shading" around the panel lines so i made it pretty clean and will give the option to Chris to shade it at this stage. I can't comment on how much Chris and I agreed to for this one, but to give you an idea I will likely have 70-80 hours in to this by the end of the project so I don't know if could do it for less than $400.00, that is really only $5.00 an hour! the thing about this kit is that there was 180 + resin parts that all needed to be individually cleaned up (seam lines), 2 primary colors, a half dozen other colors in different places, 2 sheilds, 2 guns, a ton of details, most of the parts needed to be pinned to make it sturdy.....whew!!!! lots of work........and a huge model to boot, i've never used more paint on a single model.

the paint is a mix of model master metalic arctic blue and pontiac engine metalic blue, kind of hard to spay because it is actually a bit translucent. close up of the upper arm assembly.....

close up of the finished sheilds, these alone are the height of a 1/48 yammie in battroid mode!

close up of some of the detail on the leg...still not completed leg but detailed. This model is like the enegizer bunny, every time I think I am making some good progress it just keeps going and going.....

The one that i am building for Chris here could be a bit poseable but it would be difficult and would require some time to be truely poesable and sturdy at the same time.. for example the knee is not really designed with a ball joint or any joint, just 2 flat pieces of resin that lock in together. parts of the upper arm have a ball joint but the joint does not lock it, it is only a loose fit that seems designed to be glued. You could have some poseablilty by utilizing brass pins instead of gluing the joints but it would be limited and may not be sturdy because of the weight. mike

The official yammie count is 16, whew...here is a couple more pics, not all the parts just a nice overview of the parts in various states of detailing. I post shade my panels so most of the detail will come out later on..... the kit comes with 2 guns and 2 sheilds, those other things I think are fueling pods, not sure though...

Thought this may be cool for you guys and gals to check out, see the size difference next to a Yammie 1/48, this is a build up for Chris B. (hope he does not mind me posting) i will post some pics as i go if people are interested. this is the Gsystem 1/48 gerbera with the full weapons set, lots of parts. mike

The box art was the same but the club m box was much bigger. mike

fighter mode

sure, I'll get some pics tonight of the other modes,also I added some clearer pics.....

pretty much a standard 1/55 build, actually it's been a while since I have done a 1/55. Devin's decals of course. I will take some fighter pics later.........this is a commision for JValk....

My launcher did not work out of the box, as for instructions all I remember is the decals application guide.

I generally sell the kits unfinished, but do customs for people also. The Elint seeker kit is $75.00 shipped in the US and all the molds are new. the kit includes ve wings ve1 head radom radom support all 10 parts for the boosters (2 are the side antenna) booster clip medium leg armor large leg armor all the parts that make up the lower antenna (10parts) 2seater cockpit the "arm armor" that goes on the right arm, it's more of an antenna thing i guess... basically everything you need to make a jetfire/1/55 bandai reissue any 1/55 (exept toynami) a ve 1, I also have the conversion kit for the super ostrich. all parts are pressure cast and matt finish. PM me if you are interested mike

Yeah, I've looked at the pictures of the box in graham review, and the box doesn't say it's "1/60" so it might be 1/72 in the end. The humanoid should be the size of the VF-1A Max. That's really strange and nobody is pointing that out. They' re all blinded by the beauty of the toy Or maybe the QRau is in the right scale but the Milia is way too small for the toy's size. I don't know. JB0 is right. Cool, looks like the Club M may have been a bit larger than 1/72. For the record I did not want to complain I was just curious. I rellay like it and have one on order......

another view of one of the 1ds

gerwalk only enigma, my first enigma, this was before devin was making the eigma decals so i had to make most of the markings myself...not as nice as his of course

not a great pic but another elint for chris b

Ok here we go with the old ones.....this one was my first elint with my recast elint kit from my old molds. I sold it but understand that it meet an unfortunate fate. I later found out that the resin i used to pour the parts was recalled by smooth on.
