ff95gj Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 next to a 1/48 TH! This is evil! *Drooling* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Got my kit today. I'll check the hip parts tomorrow and see if mine are OK or Broken. I'll also be going to the model store and getting the paints to begin work. So, should I do a wood camo, or try the digital camo color?

valhary Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 oh my god looks so nice on a white valkyrie will be a very hard decision in what valkyrie wear this armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xstoys Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Mine arrived with a broken hip as well. I just glued it back together. I still have a couple of kits to be built and as there is a third incident with a broken hip upon arrival, I guess really the best option is to ship the hip parts not put on.

claude grant Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Just got mine abour an hour ago...thank God nothing was broken ! This is a killer kit, phenomenal job Andy & team.

Jasonc Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I don't think anything of mine is broken. Then again, I got mine completely unbuilt for painting purposes and all. Started gap filling and sanding the chest piece and have the primer curing already. Same for the waist area. I'd do a step by step, but until I get more accustomed to the new process I'm using to do this, I'm gonna be doing a lot of trial and error perhaps. Will be cutting my squares out for the digital camo today (the time consuming part) Also got a weathering kit, as I want this to look like it's gotten some work done, either on the test course, or in combat. Chest missile bay holders are done though. Will seal those up hopefully today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uxi Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Wow, that pic of the 1/48 makes me wish I had mine done in white like the OG. Didn't the 1/48 kit come with a gold visor and the head lasers with the holes in them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 you might want to check this out: Digital Camo Masking Tape Simply awesome. I ordered several sheets of it. I heard about it, but didn't know HLJ carried it. Thanks for the link. Just got in my decal paper today as well, so I'll be working up some decals for the custom paint job. You guys are awesome.

milty66 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I got mine 2 weeks ago....haven't even opened the box yet. How do you guys recommend that I paint it to preserve as much of the line detail? which tools? What kind of paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I got mine 2 weeks ago....haven't even opened the box yet. How do you guys recommend that I paint it to preserve as much of the line detail? which tools? What kind of paint? Because it's resin, I'm using enamel paints to paint mine. I started with a white enamel Model Master primer (to give a contrast of the grey color mine came with). I'm putting two light coats on. Since the panel lines are nice and pronounced on this kit, the panels will still show up. Next, I'm using an airbrush for the top coats, but just using a gunmetal enamel to cover the parts that are supposed to be more bare metal. I'd put up pics, but I'm trying to get this thing done in two weeks, and I don't have a lot of time left with all the work I've got going on. Anyways, that's the paint I'm using. Oh, and let the enamel primer cure for 48hrs to get a strong bond to the resin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhary Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 my kit arrive yesterday so i start to assemble and i have to say excelent job this armor looks so nice much better than the official gbp thanks to all the people that made possible this project i believe that the "hand make" is the way to follow in the future taking into account the attitude and prices of yamato i prefer give my money to the real fans of macross ill be waiting future projects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyarque Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi man, sorry for the delay, but I should be able to make the balance payment on the 10th november.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) As awesome and well done as it is from the hasegawa original, i'm not a huge fan of the th'ammer. The Zero restricted reactive imo is the best Battroid fit cast away armour designed, followed by the VF-1 GBP-1S.

Jasonc Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Digital camo is done, and now putting the damn thing together. I haven't put decals on yet, as I'm test fitting everything, but so far so good. I think the imperfections in the paint give it more of a realistic look and all. Hope to have pics up tomorrow, as I will be off work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zero restricted reactive imo is the best Battroid fit cast away armour designed, followed by the VF-1 GBP-1S. you forgot the 11C Protect Armor w/c is a solid #2 or #3 on your list. what bugs me about the TH armor is the low-riding chest piece... and i don't know what it is, but the 1/60 TH looks less appealing to me than the 1/48 version.

Valk009 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Glad that the project is finally over and most are happy with it! I also see many are customising it with very interesting schemes. Btw, still have a few kits left for those who missed out and are still interested in one!
