Excillon Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've always loved FSS kits. Never owned one, because I only want the G-system versions, and every time I tell myself I'm going to buy one, I end up getting Gundam stuff instead...

captain america Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Here's one more. Delacroix Temple/Berlin SR2 - 1/100 Work Shop Cast kit I love that design, but for some reason, Ikushima's sculpt kinda leaves me flat. How's the parts breakdown?

electric indigo Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 You'll find a detailed review in my WIP thread at Hobbyfanatics: http://www.hobbyfanatics.com/index.php?/to...ple-berlin-sr2/ (For the record, this kit was not sculpted by Ikushima, but Kouji Yamagishi - regardless, the finished kit is quite impressive and in my opinion far better than the previous Factory Alliance release) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noyhauser Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Hey all I've busy over the summer trying to learn how to better airbrush... including the BF-109 I completed a couple of pages back I also built a Hawker Tempest V, Hawker Sea Hawk, and a Supermarine Seafang (I still need to complete a bit of weathering on that one though.) Next on the block is something a bit more macross related. Edited October 4, 2009 by Noyhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destroid Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Its been a while in the making and not 100% acurate, but its nearing completion. Thanks to those who posted answers to my earlier questions here on macross world - your help has enabled me to build this. Macross Zero Tomcat 1:48 using the Italeri kit, spare Hasegawa burner cans, resin chin pod & tanks and decals made by my good mate Benjo (thanks dude). I am still adding oil paint washes with a flat coat, aamrams and sidewinders to come (along with landing gear) and some unmasking. More pics as I finish things. Thanks for looking.

Noyhauser Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Destroid; thats a pretty looking F-14; your shading looks really well done as does the details. In particular the exhausts are brilliantly done. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destroid Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 A bit more progress here.... A bit of detail painting. Oil paint streaking added mainly to the wing areas. Flat coat added. Most of the masking removed, forgot about the wheel wells...... I love this part of a build. Cheers, Jase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimator88 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Wow, you guys are awesome. I love seeing what everyone is doing, and am feeling inspired. I'd never done a model (not counting an SD Gundam 15 years ago) but I saw this kotobukiya kit on sale for 200 yen at Yodobashi and couldn't pass it up. Now I'm hooked, and just got a cheap HG Zaku to practice up on before I butcher a Hasegawa Valk. I'm fighting the urge to buy box after box of models that I'll never put together, and just go one at a time (>_<) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never beaten it though, no one has. You'll come across the one rare resin kit of something you love, or the great deal you can't refuse.

The way to do it is to stay off of MW. Touche...however, it's Gundam, it's 1/60, so having that completist compulsion means it must be bought and built. And with the amount of posts you have vs. the time you've been a member means apparently you aren't staying off MW all that much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwfalcon Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 The comment is: definitely a masterpiece!!! One question from me is that whether the preshading is thickened after the first shown picture? Cz it seems that the initial preshading is with very narrow line (compared with many other works I v ever seen), but in the final weathering give me the impression that the shading line is thickened, especially on the body part. And it will be best to open a new thread to show your overall procedure, will let us learn much more. Thx for the pix. 1:48 Scale Macross Zero Tomcat FINISHED!!! WARNING image heavy!!!

The pilots look great too. Are they the Italeri pilots? Mark Thanks Mark, I would love to go to MacAusCon next year..... Mate I chose the colours by eye to match my reference pix so thanks - I'm happy to get some feedback on that! The pilots are actually from the Academy tomcat kit (supplied by a good mate thanks Benjo) as the Italeri kit dosent come with any pilots, however to my complete and utter amezement they both fit perfectly into the seats and the cockpit!!! Now you have to admit that dosent happen very often. Great to hear from another Macross Aussie!! Cheers, Jase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
