Veritas Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I'm not sure what you did to make the valk look weathered like that, but it really makes the valk stand out on its own. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoLe727 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Wow!!! Awesome!!! I noticed the arrow on the VF-1S head is not painted. Should it be painted?? Anyway, good job!!! Hope to save enough money so you can customize my valks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Wow, super-nice. Likewise, how did you weather the Valk proper? Kinda looks like pastels... Not pastels. I used an oil wash for the panel lines and post shaded with Tamiya smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Beautiful!How do you paint the Gu-11? do you take apart it or just masking? Do you mean the gun pod? I just mask off the red marker light and paint it just like the rest of the valk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wm cheng Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Fantastic work Kurt!! It looks great, how is the post shading holding up? I've been thinking about doing a little bit of weathering/post shading on my Yamato too, but I've been worried that through handling and transformations, the very light post-shading might scrape off at where the parts rub - even with a clear coat. What do you do to protect it against these scrapes? Does it hold up well? Keep up the great work. Wm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do to protect it against these scrapes? Does it hold up well? Keep up the great work. Wm Thanks everyone for the compliments. I have seen no issues with the post shading. I usually tend to do more pre then post shading. However with pre-shading I think the subject tends to look more weathered, which wasn't the look I was going for with this. I personally do not own any of the customs I have done. They are all commission jobs. I can tell you that I have had no complaints, so the paint I would assume is holding up fine. I apply a coat of future over the whole valk and then I follow that up with Polly S flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Astounding work! God damn that looks good. The gunpod looks especially detailed (along with the whole valk). Fine work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
