neptunesurvey Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 AWSOME TEASER - I did not expect the Legioss/Treads to come with it. OK - how much (ballpark) do we need to save? And when approx do we need to have this saved up by? $150.00 and I was told soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechleader Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Nice! And a decent price for what you get. Whats the size? Can you place it to a 1/72 hase valk to judge its size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neptunesurvey Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Your SDF1 is looking great Maverick. Are you using any framing on the inside? Mechleader, the Garfish is 13 inches long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool8or Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I'm doing the LV, but I'm not sure about the colors... I just applied preshading and base colour, but it seems to be too blue. Also, according with lineart and cartoon captures, the booster is white... what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vile Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 getting there...That is looking very nice indeed, MaveRick ... I'm doing the LV, but I'm not sure about the colors... I just applied preshading and base colour, but it seems to be too blue. Also, according with lineart and cartoon captures, the booster is white... what do you think?It does look a bit strong, your grey makes it look too much part of the vehicle rather than the Valk. Actually, I like the white colour in the artwork, it kind of gives the right feel for a disposable booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaveRick Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) thanks guys.. more pics and comments here neptunesurvey: i framed all hull sections with hard type cardboard and an inner layer of vinyl.. the side sections, those are my second build since the first two turned to bits after i literally did a crash test (dropped it a an elevation of 4 feet) wanted to make this build as sturdy as possible. cool8or: ohh.. been waiting for something to build that.. keep it up Edited August 15, 2009 by MaveRick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool8or Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 your grey makes it look too much part of the vehicle rather than the Valk. Yeah, your concept is right: Booster it's part of the Valk, not the Vehicle... You light me! I'll try to think about a white scheme, according with the artwork. Thanks a lot!

Lolicon Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, Love checking this thread from time to time and seeing the work you guys do; I wish had that kind of skill and patience. Anyway, was flipping through my work files and found a pic of the Enterprise I built a little while back. It's the Bandai Enterprise kit that came out a few years ago. Pretty much built straight out of the box, but I modified it with blue and white LEDs for the lighting. Hope you guys like it. EDIT: Well, not completely out of the box. The kit comes with a clear deflector piece, which I used initially. However, the blue LED I used for the main deflector is so bright that if you looked at it head on, you'd be blinded by a shaft of blue light. I eventually replaced the clear piece with a blue tinted after-market deflector, which diffused the light and eliminated the blinding problem.

Lolicon Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 1/144 scale GP03 Dendrobium and RX-78-2 Gundam, built a few years back when my modeling skills were, well, I didn't have any. Building the massive GP03 took up most of an entire summer and nearly broke me. Both are pretty much straight builds, painted, panel lines, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAIN MKII Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Cain, you've turned those Gasha figs into true display pieces! Can't wait to see the latest one finished up. This is probably a stupid question, but are you going off a reference like the studio model, or just adding your own little touches? The different greys and silvers all look amazing together! I used a lot of photos of the studio model as references to be as accurate as possible(check the link). Thank you for the comment. http://www.animachina.com/images/Cain/ Awesome Cain!

RogueTrooper Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Cool looking Cain, what scale is he, read that its a one coin collectible but not really sure what the means? Working my way through the 1/144 stash, nice to see all the box leaving the loft. Most of the paint work done on Kakizaki super A and Phalanx. Had ago at detailing up the f-toys snowspeeder's, too small, eyes ached after working on these 2. Revell 1/144 F-14A, one of the best 1/144 kits ive assemmbled.

Excillon Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I have so much respect for small scale model builders it's not even funny...my HG 1/144 Gundams look like crap compared to my 1/100 and 1/60 kits. Wish I had that kind of talent, that's why I gave up on any kit with less than 6 inches of height/length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Everything is looking great guys. Nice looking 1/144th kits Rogue Trooper. I've found most of the Revell Germany kits are right on the money. I have an Imai 1/144 F-20 that's perfect. I wish I was building in 1/144 myself!
