I've no experience with metal parts, but white paint tends to be on the thin and watery side, so I used primer to help cover and stick better.

Amazing what a difference it makes! Great job!!! Damn you, now it seems like something I should do too. Just remember add the silver to the shock struts.

Just remember add the silver to the shock struts. Always making more work for me! Not that I mind any tips that help improve the final product. All the landing gear bay doors can be completely removed, which makes masking and painting much easier. Even the one at the very front, but it's in super tight. I had to wrap the door in several layers of masking tape, then use a pair of pliers to yank the door out. 3 hours ago, Saburo said: OWL ONE Armour V2 That looks so nice.

I got chance to handle/photograph the prototypes of the 1/60 version, they were really nice. Maybe one day they will get a chance to release them. Edited June 18, 2019 by Saburo
Lolicon Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 New pictures of old valks, because my previous pics really suck now.
sumyumgoy Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Looks great @Lolicon I think quite a few of us have that Fiskars mat now lol.
Kanedas Bike Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Damn @Lolicon, you're making it very hard to look at my out-of-box Vakyries and remain satisfied. -b.

derex3592 Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Drooooool is now all over my keyboard. Thanks a lot @Lolicon.
Saburo Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Beautiful shots @Lolicon!! Your Fiskars mat is so nice, mine is showing signs of wear. Edited June 20, 2019 by Saburo
VF-18S Hornet Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 Just where did you get that mat from? I think you and Saburo is starting a trend here.

Rogueload Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Almost finished with the Bandai Q-Rare/Rau custom!
Lolicon Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks guys. Yeah the Fiskars mat looks nice and also helped balance out the colors so I don't really need to do any post-processing on any pics except for very minor tweaks.
