Dobber Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Hey everyone, some of you might remember my custom SV-51 from a few months back. Well, it's finished now along with a custom VF-0A and a Roy VF-0S. Just a little back-ground on me, I brush painted these models except for the base coats on the 0S and A, they were done with regular Tamiya spray cans. The 51 was all brush painted. Weathering was mainly done with pastels and a little bit of drybrushing thats it! I'm no WM Cheng but I hope you enjoy. P.S. If you'd like to see more just say so, I'd be glad to show more.

Dobber Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 I used Master Cheng technique using strip styrene in the exhaust nozzels I decided to put the strips on all sides though. Just noticed I need to do a few touch ups in the 0A Damn!!! that's embarrising! . I also made the ejection handles for the 2 0's but the picture quality looks horrible after they are posted and I'm not sure if you can see them. I'm not sure why they look so bad being posted....they don't look bad on my desk top.? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 This dial-up connection is KILLING me!!!! This will be the last one for now. If anyone wants to see something in particular I'll take a picture and then post it. Hope you all enjoy....Thanks VF-19!!! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 Thanks everyone! Are the pictures grainy when you see them? The look really low quality when I look at them in the post, but when I look at them on my desk top the look crisp and clear. I'll post more tomorrow though.

hellohikaru Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Great work Dobber I love the flanker-splinter camo SV-51 and the colorful VF-0A. It still makes me amaze that the VF-1 is dwarted by those large early VFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wm cheng Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hey THAT'S FANTASTIC Dobber!! I'm no Dobber when it comes to hand painting! I can't believe you brush painted all those - the finish is so smooth, and you didn't seem to fill in any of the extremely light Hasegawa engraving. Great job! Especially the digital flanker scheme - did you mask for that? I'm not a big fan of the SV-51 design, but you make it look almost good enough for me to buy one. I love that scheme - everything, the white tanks and armament is just perfect (how did you paint those so white with a red plastic base??!). Keep it up!

Dobber Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Thanks everybody, I'm glad you like! I want to post more pictures but I'm really dissappointed in the quality of them once they are posted due to this horrible dial-up connection I'm on!!! You all really can't see the little details that I did with them...oh well. Thanks again. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whytwolf Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Dobber, that 51 is the most beautiful model I have ever seen im my life....what a scheme...I am so ashamed of my poor an inadequate skills compared to all the master modelers here... ::sniffle:: Keep up the great work man!
