    1/48 Enigma Custom

    Well, your efforts paid off. This is easily the best 1/48 custom I've seen and it will be a tough act to follow. It looks very sharp and the colors very much suit the Valkyrie. Great pictures too (though you gotta pick some more dramatic poses). This looks so good, I may spend some of my christmas money on a custom from ya.

    Thanks! Let me know about doing a custom for you. If you provide me the valk I will do anything you would like.

    great work Kurt! Did you clear coat the paint job? The paints you used, are they water-based?

    Thanks! Here are the layers that were applied - laquer primer, Gunze Sangyo acrylic (water-base). two coats of future and then a coat of Polly-S flat (water-base).

    That is totally awsome. what kind of tape should i use if i can't find the tamaya stuff??? kurt???

    If you can't find the Tamiya tape, maybe try the blue masking tape found in the paint department of home improvement stores. I know that is not as tacy as regular masking tape, but you should still be careful before using it. Test it first to make sure that it won't pull up any paint. If it does, stick it to a cutting board or a piece of glass first to remove some tackiness.

    I have transformed it twice so far and everything seems to be holding up. I don't plan on transforming it much, so I don't anticipate a problem. Thanks for the compliments!

    Ok, another update. The wash to the panel lines and drybrushing are complete. As soon as the oil paint is dry enough I will apply a matt finish and can begin to re-assemble. It is getting close! Now I just need my fast packs to show up and I can really complete it.

    Looks great, I can't wait to see what it looks like reassembled.

    What type of masking tape did you use?

    I always use Tamiya masking tape. I have never had a problem with it pulling paint off or any bleed under it.

    I have already applied a future coat before decaling. I will not seal in the decals before the wash. I have never had a problem with washes effecting decals. I will apply a matt finish to seal everything in as a last step.
