EXO Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Some of these customs were probably posted already but these pics havent been.
renkenjutsu Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 I don't really like the first one, the blue on the intakes alone made it look... weird. But the shark head camo? WOW! It's super hot! o.o The skull wearing the army helmet is a nice touch Any pictures of it in battroid or gerwalk?
EXO Posted June 3, 2008 Author Posted June 3, 2008 Hirohawa beat yamato to the punch when it came to weathering the Roy 1S. Check out the visor detail.
dizman Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Any valk with a sharkmouth = epic win! They all look amazing, especially the Max 1A.
hal9000 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Max look good, but I love the low viz 2 with fast pack look fantastic.
MacrossMan Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 i wish i have all of them! thanks for sharing Ditto!!!
Solscud007 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) wow I remember those. we were waiting on the Thunderhammer to be finalized and put together. the armor with the valk. so in the meantime, as a preamble and for practice, I shot some of Hirohawa's customs. no we didnt transform any of them. Hirohawa beat yamato to the punch when it came to weathering the Roy 1S. Check out the visor detail. I like mine more hehe j/k. Hirohawa did a great job on the visor.

EXO Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 I like mine more hehe j/k. Yeah... where's your weathered fast packs? BEEEYATCH! haha... f you both for having either...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Low-Vis 2 with a nice camo Fp and Boosters.. = HOT.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I am sure yamato will release a V.2 1/60 variant, i'll grab one for sure.
Neova Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 These 3 are hands down better than Yamato's weathered customs! The TV Max with the preshading (or is it post) and SUBTLE, not overdone panelining is just awesome. That Low Vis 2 custom really would sell more of the LV2 if it had matching fast packs and weathering! More hires pictures without the fast packs and some gerwalk mode! You guys do great work! West Side...................!
hirohawa Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 The visor was quite a bit of work I had to dremel out a cavity in the head and then used some Kotobukiya verniers cut and glue them in place and paint them silver. But the most difficult part was dremeling out the original visor from a wedge shape to just a paper thin piece that had to be glued over all the details I added and painted with transparent green.

Damn.....I was thinking about trying that but it seems a bit too hard.

Solscud007 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 wouldnt it be easier to get a thin sheet of clear styrene and cut it and curve it?
misterryno Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 wouldnt it be easier to get a thin sheet of clear styrene and cut it and curve it? I don't know....would it?
hirohawa Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I thought about that. But I think the clear styrene would have a tendecy to want to pop out of it's curved shape, plus be hard to glue down. Probably vacu forming would be a viable option. I actually never thought that dremeling down the visor would work but figured I'd give it a shot, and the reslurms where pretty good. wouldnt it be easier to get a thin sheet of clear styrene and cut it and curve it?
nightmareB4macross Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Awesome!!! I remember seeing he LV2 at the con last year, it looked fantastic!!
KiriK Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 didn't see these nice quality pics of your customs.... NICE job steve... are all of your customs in the customs gallery yet???
hirohawa Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks! Gotta take some pics in all modes first. Wish Solscud still lived here as his photos are top notch.

SuperDimensionalDave Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 That LV2 is just soo right. It's drool worthy. I second that!
