505thAirborne Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Thanks everyone! I figured if I was keeping those ET Valks I'm going to do what I can to them look good! @tekering Lots of Polish! @Lolicon Thanks dude, look forward to that Kakizaki custom! @sqidd Silive was pretty easy, The Faerie Squad required Shape-ways parts and a one way ticket to Fighter Only mode but I'm happy with it.

These are the Evolution Toy versions, a simple customization to Silvie, a giant overhaul for Faerie Squad. If I could find a Nexx 2SS cheap, I might grab one. Quality markings and panel lining. Was there any other customisations? You got them skilz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogueload Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 @505thAirborne those VF-2SS’s look awesome! Almost makes me want to pick some up to customize. Nexx and silvie with the fast packs would look sweet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After taking off the GBP, I think I'll keep my grey visor 1J armor-less for awhile. Yamato's curved surfaces look better than Bandai's blockier interpretation of the VF-1, IMO. She does need a panel wash, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll see some other variants but those are the ones most likely to see release by Bandai, unless they prematurely kill the line because sales aren't good enough for them. *coughDeltacough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns out how I like it I'll probably have RedComet do his conversion thing so I can have the un-released DX Valks. I'm torn on the VF-1S Max though. I try and stay as cannon as I can with a display like that and I'm not thrilled with a "naked" Valk hanging out in there. It will be .........weird. That said, I'm screwing it all up by having a CF in there too. It's DYRL, but not Skull Squad. Edited September 17, 2020 by sqidd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) I am thinking 3, because the Max VF-1S is probably not going to be produced due to its short screen time. *Puts on Flame Suit* But I wouldn't put it past Bandai to make it just make some extra money.

seti88 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) That could pass off as a computer generated photo, but in reality is good old school chunkiness! Nice lighting and spotlight there! The style reminds me early computer graphic days, with a single spotlight placement from above and harsh shadows...

Rogueload Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I love both too but the 31A is such a beauty. Then you add super packs to it and it makes it that much meaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Put Kakizaki back together after sitting in pieces for weeks. Oh how I dream of the day when I have the entire DYRL squadron decaled and detailed finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's almost as many markings as Bandai's DX SSP, but the text isn't ginormous so it's a lot less obnoxious. Unfortunately the effects I added were mostly dulled out by the top coat. Even the heated metal effect is barely visible on the boosters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you almost have to overdo it just so when you clear coat it it gets toned down and looks how you wanted it to look, but that's hard to judge. I had that issue with my Sv-51. Most of my subtle effects disappeared and I had to redo it not so subtly to get it to show more. Just as annoying is when you can see it with your eyes but the camera won't pick it up, but it sure as heck is able to pick up and emphasize those specks of dust you couldn't see instead!

Lessons learned. I'll have to go overboard on Hikaru next. Dust is the bane of my existence when photographing. Had to reshoot so many times. I need a clean room to photograph in...
