Kurt Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 What were the colors you use for the TV max and Kakazaki? I used Gunze H15 Blue for Max. Kakazaki was Gunze Brown #? with some 316 white mixed in to lighten it up. Thanks everyone for the compliments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 How well does the paint react to multiple transformations ? I always clearly explain to my customers that customs should not be overly transformed. If care is taken the paint holds up fairly well.

Kurt Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Do you use gunze laquers to seal the paint job? it should be pretty tought. I use Gunze Mr. Surfacer 1000 laquer to prime all of my customs. I then use acrylics for the paint and clear coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 damn that's a hella good job on those 1/48's! How much you charge for that? Customs range from $200 on up depending on what you want.

I don't like you guys that much to charge just $50- $75 for labor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiyao Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) How long would it take, on average, for one of these customs to be completed? I am leaving the country on June 1st (for ever and ever), so this question is of particular relevance. In any case, that's some really gorgeous work. Well done.

OK, if really want to see my first custom. Here it is. I actually have been building models for the last 25 years or so. But this was the first custom toy that I did about 16 months ago. So if you were to compare my very first model to what I do today, I am pretty sure you would see an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Hey, I remember that custom. Was that really your first one? Wow, 16 months ago starting custom work. It seems longer than that. Time flies when your customizing. Man, the work on that TV Max is awesome! Sigh, I just wish yamato would release one with the GBP or the CF.

combined arms Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Kurt, Those customs all look great. I especially like the low-viz strike 1A. Which Yamato did you start with for all of these? Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nani?! Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I love the pair of 1A's. almost all customs nowadays have weathering and it's refreshing to see something clean and slick like what you got here. It looks really refined. like a fighter fresh off of assembly and ready to join a squadron. Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994cobra Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Kurt, Way back when, I sent you a letter, telling you how amazing I thought your work was, when you first did that Enigma. (and to get a quote on getting one done) Just letting you know, that I am still planning on having you do a custom for me.. I just haven't decided which to get yet.. When I decide, I'll be contracting your amazing skill out! Take care, and Im very happy to still see you coming out with new releases. You're an asset to the community! -Chris Purvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powered Convoy Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Those are awesome! Very professional looking. Though there isn't any bleeding on the paint on your customs unlike the actual Yamatos. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
