Gabe Q Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Just like the title says, I would like someone to take us through all the intricate details of building the Cat's Eye that we've recently gotten. A step-by-step a-la WM Cheng would be ideal. I am by no means a master modeller (I'm a beginner with about five kits under my belt) and I would really enjoy seeing one done for this kit. I'm sure it would be very well received by all the MacrossWorld modellers. So please, someone make the effort. We need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatslappy Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I second that! And if WM Cheng would like to use my cat's eye to do the build up, I would not mind. hahahahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaHX Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I second that! And if WM Cheng would like to use my cat's eye to do the build up, I would not mind. hahahahaha. Hahah... wouldnt "mind" eh? Hahah... more like wishing. wmcheng can do any of my kits for build up! I'm so tempted to buy him kits just so I can see a true master build them!

Less than Super Ostrich Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I'd do it, but two things says I shouldn't: First, I suck Second, I can model sporadically at best... could be several months between when I start and when I finish. Maybe I'll give it a try anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Q Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 I'm just bumpin this in the hopes that someone might have time and start this build-up. I might just go ahead and do it myself, lack of skill be damned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Ill buy a catseye of someone if they want. Im in the mood for something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007-vf1 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 (edited) I did a semy detailed cat's eye build up last year before we switched servers... Edited August 27, 2005 by 007-vf1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less than Super Ostrich Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I loved that one. The Cat's Eye is waaaay down the line for me. I have it... good kit, but the radome ain't even. Not sure what I'll do to fix that (if anything). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) I was seriously considering doing the catseye or the dragon as my next project but then got distracted by my Club-M VF-11 rare WF version and started that instead. Can't seem to find enough time to build though, I wish I had HWR's drive. 007 the detail on that cockpit is awesome, how'd you do it?

Mechwarrior Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 "007 the detail on that cockpit is awesome, how'd you do it?" Since he didnt reply yet, ill take s hot as to what he did. Looks like the ole toothepick dot method, and the decal for the rear cockpit screen, looks good. Ill be starting my Cat's Eye here in a week or soo, ill post a simple build up to get this thread started. I see someone already sold theirs on ebay for a nice profit too, just a matter of time i guess. The kit looks great for a recast, just not looking forward to the sanding, lol.

Grayson72 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Great, can't wait to follow along. I've actually got two of these, both originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Q Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Alright! Someone's finally gonna do a build-up. I am lookin forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007-vf1 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I have been checking in and out the forums but haven't signed in a long time or read many of the posts... I used some left over YF-19 hasegawas decals and other models decals to fill some of the big blank spaces on the rear cockpit.. My background is of 2D hand drawing so I can hit some small detail lines with a thin brush. All the inside forward cockpit is done by hand. I added some wiring and small plastic kitbash details like MW cheng is doing with the 3 slot vents on his booster. Also used a kotobukiya Y join for the canopy a very simple light color wash on top of all that messy cockpit detail and voila.. I feel so lazy and I've been busy all these months since I haven't touch any of my models since the beginning of Summer, which usually by now I would have built at least 2-3 models.. I would love to see some other modelers hitign this cat's eye.. I'll give myself time soon to take better pictures of the cockpit from other angles...
