Its Cloud Strife's Bike from the FF7 game.

I guess FF means Final Fantasy, then perhaps it's no surprise that I didn't know, course I haven't played or seen much the game. Now that I've seen the bike (part of anyway) I maybe will

ChaosWarrior

the bike will have to wait it is nowhere near finished yet. Can you guess where its from?

I really don't have a clue Please illuminate me!

ChaosWarrior

They look good anyway!

I sure would love to see more of the bike in the background.

ChaosWarrior

Nice work as usual!

ChaosWarrior

Looks awesome!

ChaosWarrior

Looking good! I'm looking forward to seeing it with decals on.

ChaosWarrior

Awesome!!! Nice finish, and real nice touch on the barrels - looks realistic!

ChaosWarrior

Nice work!

It's nice to read this step by steps. I picked up a lot of good tips and they also made me realise how many tools I'm missing I'll have to save up for some scribing tools and perhaps an airbrush.

ChaosWarrior

Looking good!

A few somewhat better pics I guess

Close-up VF-17S Battroid. No ugly stickers, ugly painting instead

and fighter.

VF-19 KAI? Still need his head

and fighter.

Last but not least, or rather the first macross valkyrie I ever built. I think it's 20 years (if possible) since I bought it.

Next kit - well... possibly a Colossal Mantis diorama.

That's all for now.

ChaosWarrior

Nice pics!

Wish I had those kits too!

ChaosWarrior

Nice work!

Chaoswarrior, welcome to the boards! Is that the 1/144 2-in-1kit? Those are pretty decent little kits if you can find them for a good price. Yours looks good so far, but the pics are blurry. I hope to see some more soon. Keep up the progress!

Thanks!

Yes, I bought 2 of them and regret I didn't buy the other ones as well at an auction. I think the price was rather fair, about $8 each. I'll try to take better pics when they're ready. If I don't get things right I borrow another camera or let someone else take the shoots.

ChaosWarrior

I've finally managed to take a picture (me an my camera had some arguments ) worth showing.

It's my VF-17S in fighter and battroid mode (not ready yet)

I post some more when I've finished both this and the VF-19 I'm building.

Hi!

I've just bought myself two 1/144 kits. One VF-17S Stealth and VF-19 Fire. They seem simple enough, though it's been a while (10 years or more) since I last built a model. So I thought I'd warm up a bit 

There's a slight problem, although these kits are easy to assemble, I don't read Japanese (I think it is). Is the stealth model supposed to be black? It's moulded black, but on the box it is painted dark blue with lighter blue details. On the instructions it looks black. I'll be thankful for any help with this.

It is dark blue if you want some good pictures then just ask.

Btw. I've read all 40 pages and looked att all the very nice pictures (phew). I feel a slight envy

If I can figure out how to take good pictures with my new camera and how to add them here, I will.
