yellowlightman Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Is that swing bar a custom piece, or did you just sand it down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidkorrupt Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 Is that swing bar a custom piece, or did you just sand it down? that piece was machined down by fulcy and then plugged and sanded with epoxy putty by me =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull-1 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 This thing is just too good to let fall off the boards. What an amazing Custom. I had never considered rotating the hands like a Yammie! I have been trying a slider plate for the gap in the arm and that didn't work very well because it's hard to get the hands to come back out. Man.... That sucker is just flat out amazing! I wish you could show us a step-by-step of how you made the pivots for the hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidkorrupt Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 the transformation guide picture was my prototype. you can see there is a gap when the hands are rotated in. its on the bottom. on the one i used for the ostrich the gap has been fully reduced and the entire hand area in the arm is blocked off in fighter. and thanks for the props. you got some nice original stuff yourself =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull-1 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hey on the Ostrich......... It has been a long time since I last saw DYRL. With the boosters on the Ostrich leaves the vertical tail fins open is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkfan Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Good to see you back here bro!! You are one of the all-time greats. We miss you around here!!!!!!! I completely agree with you Skull-1. Kid K was one of the first customizers that got me into the hobby. There's just something special about taking a yellowed 20 year old toy and making it into an amazing work of art like this. Since we're going back maybe we need to dig up some of the great 1/55 customs from Jung and Rosario L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually own a VF-1S Hikaru Strike Valkyrie and a static fighter VF-1D, both customized by Jung Chao. The colors on the VF-1D are really very nice.

Jasonc Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I'm still present, and I still have been customizing. My last product of completion (Kinda) was a 1/55 Elintseeker. I now have it displayed on a chrome Valkyrie launch arm, and it looks sweet. I'll try to get pics soon if I can find my camera charger. As for my Ostrich that I had done about a year ago, I sold it to some guy in New York who had the nerve to complain about the paint job. but nevertheless, I'm gonna start work on another one hopefully in the next couple months. for now, I'm making swivel feet to go with the swivel thighs on my modded and customized Elintseeker. BTW, this Ostrich is very cool, and I always like looking at it when I can in person. Always a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I'll definitely post up pics this weekend. My room mate lost my camera plug, so I have no way of taking pics except by a lousy camera phone. but I'll document the work done on the mods. But they should be posable like the 1/60 and 1/48 scale Yamatos when they are done. I cut a lot of sheet metal for the job, and it's all coming around now. Look for it in another thread, I don't wanna hijack this one. BTW, Kid has a nice portfolio thread up with his customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
