Thanks! :)

The stickers were abit troublesome and time consuming to trim but they were well worth it.

I used Tamiya's Panel Line Accent Colour. It's like a ready made enamel wash, all you have to do is run down the paint down the lines. Any excess will be cleaned up with Tamiya's X-20 thinner.

Gotta do it for my Hik 1S and Isamu 29 next..

I finished weathering my last set of super parts that have been sitting around for months.

I have to keep sayin' it, it's just beautiful MJ!!! I also love your photography of it too. Really elevates these toys - I guess it was good that Bandai made them in the shiny toy-like plastic :p - it really forced us to do something about it because it looked so awful out of the box.

Hey MJ, what do you do to prime your DX's for painting and do you just paint the raw plastic? I'm more specifically referring to the brown markings on the 25A on your profile picture. I'm planning to customise my 25A's too but afraid that the paint will get easily scratched off the shiny plastic when handling.

I wipe it down really well with a wet paper towel and then use a brush to brush off any lint left over from the paper towel. The stripes on the wing root and wings themselves shouldn't be a problem as far as scratches are concerned. I had a problem with scraping on the stripes on the sides of the forward fuselage though. Some sanding on the area as well as on the LERX should help with that. You could try spraying some primer also. Just not too much or you might need to sand the inner side of the LERX more to give more clearance.

We interrupt your usual valkyrie-porn to bring you a snapshot of Minmay in concert with Mylene and Godzilla!

:wub:

:lol:

HA I didn't know Godzilla can play Guitar Hero, no wonder the military ha always be trying to destroy him. Every time he wails on the thing, the shockwave shatters all the windows in Tokyo. :p

Nice to see you got yours, HLJ cancelled on mine cause I didn't have enough funds in the bank to purchase. I think it was ofr the best, I want a DYRL Roy 1S with Strike parts added to it.

I wanted to wait till I get 25A's super parts which the other two will be equipped with, but couldn't wait to share this with you guys. My own VF-25 skull team! Might buy a 4th one if I am able to figure out how to recolour Alto's pack (especially the rotating VTOL engine) or if Bandai releases one for the 25A (which probably wont happen). Pardon my amateur photography skills :ph34r:
