1/48 Minmay Guards

Recommended Posts

a couple of Minmay Guards using Anasazi's waterslide decals. as you all know, devin is no longer producing these awesome decals. :( it's a shame coz for anyone who has never seen them in person, you've missed out.

these are only 90% done. guess you can say i got lazy. :p i decided to make the Minmay Guard Paris Act fastpack armor a little different as you can see. it turned out okay... just different i guess. i also decided to make these Super FP Minmay Guards instead of the usual Strike FP Minmay Guards. i must say one thing,,,, these are definately unique looking valks once finished. they are quite a challenge especially with all the various decal placements. some were quite challenging to place but i must give credit to Kurt and Devin.

btw, all critiques are welcome,,, good or bad, i can handle it. :ph34r:

If you are looking for 1/72 (both v1 and v2 minmay guard) decal, you can find them in ebay.

I got two for myself, still waiting for them to arrive, so can't tell you how is the quality compared to Anasazi's (got one set from him a while ago).

Just do a search at ebay using "macross decal".

all white areas on both valks have not been painted. only the FP have been painted as well as the nosecone, feet and one of the canopy. i just stripped the paints off of the valks since i didn't want any issues of paint chipping during transformation. <_<:)

definately if you see someone selling any of Anasazi's decals, make sure you're the first to grab them. they're definately worth the mini bux.

Damn, I'm like 3 years too late on these! :unsure:

I was wondering if the Hasegawa option #3 decals include those purple/blue hexagonal designs seen on these photos? (please see the areas where the red arrows are pointing):

minmay_guards_010_arrows.jpg

Are those hexagonal designs on another decal sheet unrelated to the option #3 decals? Any insight or help is appreciated. Thanks!
