optimator88 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi, I just recently found this website and was inspired by all the incredible custom Valks. I've never customized or painted anything so I was pretty worried going into this. Especially about chipping, but it could have been much worse. Luckily, I read someone's comment that said to sand down all the places that could rub, but I guess I should have sanded some more because there are still some places that like to stick. I also didn't have any proper stickers or decals, so I just used a couple from a spare Toynami MPC stickers that were laying around. I borrowed the color scheme from Dead Zone, so thanks go out to him. Oh yeah, and a big thanks to everyone else here who has gotten me totally hooked on a new hobby. There are some amazingly skilled people on this site. Now I can't wait to start on a 1/48! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterryno Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 the intake sticker I believe it's backwards I noticed that to.....but of course....when I first got into the toys I thought it should be like that as well. I did not find out till much later that I was mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not find out till much later that I was mistaken. Haha, I knew something looked off about it. I tried reversing the intake decal, but the size difference made it look ridiculous.
