Sumdumgai Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Daaaamn, so that's why the 19 needed to go in for repairs before they brought in Isamu! Good luck on the custom! It scares me sh**less to see a 19 that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterryno Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 It scares me sh**less to see a 19 that way. I can't agree with you there...for I know (and all of you do to) that Ghostkiller has some MAD SKILLS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 It scares me sh**less to see a 19 that way. It's not so scary if you stay on top of the project, instead of doing like me and letting the parts get scattered around for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 i have a surprise.....psshhhh..Devin knows what i'm talkn about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Well for clarification, it scares me sh**less to see the 19 that way, because I have one here on my desk and it hurts to think of it dismantled like that. I know ghostkiller is going to do an awesome job on customizing it, but when I see that pic I go: "ooooh! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I know ghostkiller is going to do an awesome job on customizing it, but when I see that pic I go: "ooooh! " That makes two of us; when I see a dismantled Macross variable fighter, I think "ooooh!, here comes a custom." I can't wait to see what Kicker 773 has for us to see, too.

Ghostkiller Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 the nova scheme starts today hope u like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 no will try to get them after the paint is done ? I know that mw's members will help me on that nice skills are around It has been my experience that decals take a while to get from the maker to one's work table -- like all good things, these take time. So, it's going to be a while before we get to see your Super Nova completed. Anyway, we're looking forward to seeing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoducks Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 the nova scheme starts today hope u like it To late to persuade you to use the orange nova scheme then? Can't wait to see it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I think that Graham had at one point said that Yamato was more likely to do the orange nova than the blue. We will see if they ever do either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostkiller Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 ok that's it for today it is advancing fast but a lot of small pieces are remaining it will take time to get them done I had to sand the head sides to erase the engraved arrow as blue lines will be in this area that was long.....

Chronocidal Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Well, if you haven't decided on a color yet, you could always make one not seen before. I always wondered why we only saw #4 and #6. The scheme looks like it's loosely based on the F-18 prototype markings, and I know there was a red one of those, so you could always do that. The different versions of the decals have smaller markings that were different from one another, but the computer versions above are simplified, and I just changed the colors and numbers. Even if you don't get all the small markings, this is going to look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 You got some boules d'acier to customize such an expensive toy, Ghostkiller. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger69 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) David's answer to my question about the shade of blue for YF-19 custom: Re:YF-19 Custom Blue, Jan 26 2008, 12:10 AM The problem is, while the blue and orange YF-19's seem to be based off the F-15 prototypes, the colors are quite different. There is no "real" or "military" match for them that'd look similar. Following the real F-15's would make the blue MUCH darker, and the orange would be day-glo.

Ghostkiller Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 navy blue then a too light blue or intermediate blue will make it turn out to look like a toy I use intermediate blue on the SV 51 for reference NAVY BLUE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Navy I think may be too dark, depending on the brand. I don't know if you can buy it like that in cans, or which brands make it, but I know some companies make a specific shade of blue called "Blue Angel Blue," specifically for painting Blue Angels planes. You may not be able to find that exact shade, but you could probably find references on what paints to use to duplicate it. Personally, I think that shade would look beautiful. Either way though, I'd try testing it first on some piece of scrap plastic, or even paper, just to check the shade, and make sure you're happy with it.
