nightmareB4macross Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Love the your style of painting. Two things missing are the black arm bands. I know the arms are DYRL, but what hell, why not just put them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Actually, there are no black arm bands in the lineart, so any arms will do... http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/art/mcr249l.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pretty much assume that it has TV style panel lines on the arms though if you're the nitpicky type. But that custom looks awesome... as always Kurt.

Graham Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Fantastic work as usual Kurt, but it's just crying out for custom TV Hikaru and Minmay figures in the cockpit. I'll get this up in the MW custom toy gallery, as soon as I re-install Dreamweaver on my PC (probably be after Xmas now though). BTW, can't wait to see your custom paint schemes on the 1/48 GBP and 1/60 VF-0S when they are released. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the lineart suggests it. Maybe because it's a trainer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 I would say it took me about 5 weeks. I had to deal with the gummy canopy and all of the other parts were "soft" so I had to spend the time to cure those some more. This is just a busy time of year for everyone, so I know I can do them quicker than 5 weeks. As for the black arm bands. All I had to go by was Hasegawa's painting guide and Yamatos 1/60. Neither of these show black arm bands. Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Excellent work Kurt, as usual. Can I ask how you do the panel lines? Is that a wash? Your panel lining job appears "just right", not too dark, not too light. I'm having trouble achieving line consistency and that "just right" look. Ispires me to continue working on my own 1D custom - finding the time to work on it during the holidays AND with a 9 month old around is near impossible. I was looking forward to your first 1/48 1D - beautiful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatterBoy Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 The arm bands are not a must have but I added them on my own in order to compliment the black bands on the legs. I like the balance between the upper and lower half. My 1D Batt Great work Kirt! Your 1D looks so clean. Makes me want to try again.

Hayao Kakizaki Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 that lineart is missing a lot of lines.

I'm having trouble achieving line consistency and that "just right" look. Thanks everyone for the compliments. For the panel lines I use a combination of pre/post shading and an oil wash. I use raw umber oil paint thinned with turpenoid and flow that into the panel lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
