bigkid24 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Damn. That's one sweet custom. So you used an original LV for that custom? If that's right you did a really good job of matching the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radd Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Spectacular, certainly the nicest custom I've seen in a while. My only complaints would be the "identity crisis" others have pointed out in your squadron markings, and on a more personal level I'd probably have done up a squadron other than Skull to give it more personality than simply alternate-universe Skull squadron. Top notch work, though I look forward to seeing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hirohawa Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 (edited) Wow. Thanks all! Some pics of fighter sans FP with 1S head Also I got rid of some of the seams on the FP and I don't know if you can tell but I actually masked off and painted some of the panels a slightly different shade also Edited February 3, 2005 by hirohawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirohawa Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 WOW!!!I have question. How did you cut the UN sign over the trench? You have to use Microsol and Microset alot to make sure the decals "melt" down and then follow the panel with a very sharp exacto blade. It's pretty easy as long as you have applied the Micro Sol.

Fugly Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Beautiful man! I can't believe you did that to a low viz. one though Some great decals too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I don't know if you can tell but I actually masked off and painted some of the panels a slightly different shade also I noticed. Excellent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent-GHQ Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Damn!! I'm speechless...What an amazing work on this LowViz. Anyhow, just a few questions on your custom: 1. Did you used primer? If so, what color primer was used? 2. Can you describe and explain how the "oil technique" is used? 3. What was done to the visor? 4. What type of paint was used (The brand)? 5. What was the name of the color paint used? I must say, your work really inspired me. Got to make one soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exo look forward to those BGs. 1.No 2.Seal paint with Future 2-3 coats and use oil paint to fill in the panel lines and gives it detail to the recessed parts. 3.Visor was a clear recast from Rhoby's 1S heads. 4. It was Model Masters Enamel through an airbrush 5. I beleive it was white and lt. ghost grey Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
