Probably the Lancer. Or maybe a Roy/Milia Premium version. But I'm guessing something Macross Zero related since it's the 15th anniversary on December 21st ( VF-0A CF or Reactive armor assembly kit?).
I must've did something wrong last time I tried as my total came out to about $900ish when I added up all the required parts. That is a huge price reduction. Did you combine or re orientate parts so that they come out being cheaper?
I'm guessing at least 2 for the next valk. SV-51 next year then hopefully an announcement for their next new valk that's not a repaint of their current releases for the following year. Would love to see a renewal version of those 2 valks though.
It's all Tamiya spray's plus their flat coat. The spray paints are super durable as I didn't top coat until just recently and have manhandled and dropped pieces countless times prior. They're much more resilient than the acrylic version although pricey. The only drawback is you gotta/should use a respirator as the fumes are strong.
More determined rather than skilled. Painting all the markings were a PITA especially the tailfins.
Thanks for the kind words everyone. Hopefully we can get official releases of these in the future.
I'll add all the files I used for the lettering and the tailfin markings on the 1st post later on if anybody is gonna try doing these conversions.
B..b..but what about the destroids? They, along with the enemy mechs, need some love too since it's always about those darn transforming valks! Nice shot!
