Plamax 1/72 VF-1A Max Valkyrie 

Almost complete

Nice Job!

Is that a custom mix blue, or straight from a jar?

Looks perfect.

Hmmm... position 439 of the Kama Sutra? O.o

With that blue tape I would have guessed it was Max's  Valkyrie,  in which case that should probably read 

"position 639 of the Kama Sutra"

😉

Larger calves made a world of difference.

I like this much better.

Great execution of this great kit.

My minor gripe with the design is that the head camera part should have chamfered edges.

You could probably bevel the edges easily with a file and then smooth it out and add some gloss to get it back to a shiny piece

Post pumpkin pie final touches. Don’t mind the table cloth. Lol

Was so excited to share. 1:144 LED Mirage V3. Will try for a better natural light pic in the morning.

 

Looks awesome and bright. Like a real treasure.

Yes, the new legs are a great improvement.

How do they look in fighter mode?

Looks Awsome for a wreck. I’ve seen a lot of old bugs that looked like this. Sometimes you still see em in similar condition. Now it makes me wonder how some of them actually got some gouging in the sides

Great looking Max VF-1 @joscasle! That's a nice shade of blue.

Well, when Millia is macronized...

@nightmareB4macross Those thicker calves are a good improvement. It doesn't impede transforming into fighter mode, as I assume they left the backs flat for a tighter appearance..?

Dang, that bomber is looking good, @derex3592. We are appreciating your hardships!

 

[Papa Rat]

@derex3592 Looking good! 👍

Hi. Straight from the jar. It is a Gundam blue paint from Mr. color. Exam Blue 2

It actually affords me the opportunity to slim the inner backplate good and proper without distorting or prohibiting it’s function(s). Since the original backplate is very thick, this would have been the reason why the original VF legs are so thin.

Looks like a perfect match. Might even look good on his Queadluun Rau, possibly with a little white mixed in to lighten it up a little

For now, this is what it looks like. Once I trim the inner backplate and finish massaging the calf it will blend well together.
