Mr. Anderson

Anyone know if there are going to be any Macross Frontier model kits?? The mecha in that series looks awesome. Cmon Hasegawa!!!

Excellent work! Im moving along slowly on mine. Seeing yours finished is motivating. Did you have to rescribe the panel lines on the legs? On mine where i fixed the seams, I lost alot of the panel line detail. Im just afraid to attempt rescribing anything cuz I dont want to screw it up.

Thanks for the tip! I did notice that it looked like that , but I thought it looked good. Gave it a bit of texture. Im going to try and do some of the pin striping today.

Had some time to do a lil prepping tonight. Figured I try out my D-cam on the tri-pod. Test out the macro. I used a toothpick,new exacto blade, tamiya masking tape, with blue painters tape. Also wore latex gloves. The tamiya tape wasnt that sticky, so it was easy to manipulate. Included a shot of one of the legs with pre-shading. Used flat black for that. Then airbrushed in small coats with flat white till I recieved desired amount of shading.

Yeah my wife got me a whole box of latex gloves from work. I'll be using them all the time now. How long do you usually let the future dry? Also, when is a good time to start the panel washing? Thanks again for the support!

Ok so here it is. My first attempt at doing the pre-shade weathering. I thought it turned out pretty damned good! I did all the seam filling and wet sanding. Then did the pre-shade with Tamiya Flat Black. After it dried for a lil while I went over it in small coats with Tamiya Flat White. How long should I let it dry before I put a coat of Future on it??

Ok so I stopped working on my 1/100 scale valkryie, for now I just couldn't resist the temptation to begin working on this battroid. I started out by putting together some body parts as you can see in the picture. They can be broken down into smaller parts for later when I go to paint them. Im going to keep going forward with putting together what I can and then I will start fixing all the seams and do all the tedious sanding.

Appreciate the insight guys!!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll keep all that in mind!

I would suggest calling them and tell them what you are looking for. They have thousands of models. Not alot of Macross though. I had to do some digging when I was there.

They have this one at walmart for 98 bucks. http://www.brutepower.com/products/air_com...ex.cfm?p_id=395 And then this one on amazon that got really good reviews but only has a 1 gallon tank. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AQK7..._pr_product_top I want something reasonably quiet and I will be using it just for airbrushing. My budget is 150.00! Thanks for the help!

Here is where I got mine. http://www.bobeshobbyhouse.com/

60 bucks!!! Wow I got mine for 12 dollars!

Okay so here it is. My first attempt ever at masking and then airbrushing. Turned out ok. There are some bad spots here and there, but nothing a lil touchup wont take care of. I'll have to remember from now to glue, fill, sand before I prime or paint next time I'll put some more pics up soon.

Okay . Been a lil busy but im ready to do some painting now. Did some masking today and hopefully going to shoot it with some grey tonight!
