Veritas Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) Someone asked I put up a group shot. Sorry to all those whomay be feeling my custom JM overload... 377480[/snapback] Never! I always liked the JM's, but thought they could be better. You my friend have proven that with your skill at putting together these customs. Excellent! BTW how many more customs do you have on the horizon and which valks did you have in mind? Edited March 7, 2006 by Veritas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatterBoy Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Thanks all. Several things: 1. These JM's are far from perfect. I think the shots don't highlight how bad some of them actually are. I'l post flaw pics shortly. 2. I intend to go with the cannon non DYRL models first and still need the following: - Miriya (Millia before Graham edit's my post ;P) - Ben TV (Kakazaki see above) - Cannon Fodder - Angel Birds (debating whether or not I really want to do this) Once these are done I may do the DYRL ones, but the 1A versions. Roy will be the only Cannon 1S EVER... - Hikaru 1A (can't even call it Rick) - Kakazaki 1A - Max 1A - VT-1 Ostrich - VE-1 Elint If I can get through these, then a few I would consider: - Enigma 1S - Minmay Guard - Minmay Guard Moon Act - 1A hex pattern - SPW So I need to get 14 more JM's, somehow. If you got a messed up complete one I'm buyin! But don't expect me to pay premium cuz pristine don't matter, I'm repainting them. 3. Bobe-Patt is the JM king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Q Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I wouldn't judge the caliber of a collection on its quantity of items but rather on the quality and variety. I'd say having a full representation of all the valks is more important than having fifty multiples of every stock valk. I just wanna know, does this phantom JM king have a lot of customs in his collection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Wow, these are beautiful customs! I love the finishes... they have that brand-spankin'-new glossy look that just pops! BTW, if anyone is interested, I've got two Joke Machine recasts (done awhile back by member MW member Rohby) for sale: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=18158 They include 'TanMan' style pilots as well as Strike Cannon upgrade parts in case someone is looking to do DYRL? Strike Valks. 1A/J/ & S heads are all there too so you can do whichever variant your lil' heart desires. I wish more would come of Rohby's completely 'new' Joke Machine project; however, I fear it is DOA. The world needs more Joke Machine customs! Man, I wish Bandai would reissue the lil' buggers. Alas, Bandai only has love for Gundam. I seem to recall getting my original Robotech-branded Skull Leader/ VF-1S for under 20 bucks back in the day. Ahhh thems were the days...

WIsh Rohby was still around, it is broken exactly where I've got about 3 breaks on other JM's. That piece that connects it to the back is easy to break. Kind of a pain in the butt.

DatterBoy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Those look sweet! Diggin thye brownie. What paint did you use for it and how well doe sit hold up to transformation? I like the seperation from the black nose stripe without the black highlight around the cokpit frame. May have to try that for one of these customs. Here are some high detail shots. On second look, I think the Rick is not perfect, butdefinitely one of th ebetter ones I've made in terms of minimal flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkyrie312 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Dat - thanks for the compliments! That means a lot coming from the the JM master! I used Testors "Armor Sand" spray and it holds up quite well to transformation (with a layer of Testors Flat clearcoat over the top). As for your work, I don't see the flaws that you mention! You are being too hard on yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
