MacrossJunkie Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Not bad! My only critique is that it feels a bit weird to me that the foreground is in focus while the VF is out of focus and then the background is in focus again.

VF-18S Hornet Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Nice. But I think it would even be more nicer if you use his special red Rei instead. I was still in the middle of doing the project when he got the Special Red Rei but will be doing that one soon as I got his permission to do mre when I have the chance already saved it to my computer, but as of now I am back to editing my YF-19 pics. Not bad! My only critique is that it feels a bit weird to me that the foreground is in focus while the VF is out of focus and then the background is in focus again. Yeah I know, but he has improved with the new pics of YF-29 and Rei, I was so impressed that I'm going to have to do a remake with the improved photos.

MacrossJunkie Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Took a while for me to get around to it, but I finished my YF-25. Painted the edges of the shoulder blocks because since they are never really flush in fighter mode, the white on the sides always showed and that bothered me. Just did a light bit of weathering on it overall.Fighter:GERWALK:Battroid: Edited November 19, 2014 by MacrossJunkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-18S Hornet Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Here is my next batch going from fighter mode to Gerwalk before you all go saying that's not the GU-11, let me say this I was up till midnight editing when I was going through three photos each while watching the Walking Dead, so my brain wason autopilot as I closed down my computer for the night. I didn't catch this until I uploaded the photos on my Flickr account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must refrain from letting the jokes take over. ...in all seriousness, though, I understand how an issue with a part of a valk not aligning correctly can be frustrating. I am glad that you were able to get the issue "straightened out"... ...ok, had to let one slip in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I finished fixing and repainting the super parts for my Alto 29. Before I even did that, I decided to rework my 29 a bit. It was one of my earlier weathering attempts using the tamiya weathering kits and wasn't as cleanly done as I would have liked so I cleaned it up with some masking and spraying white paint (with a touch of gray) on the whites. I also masked and reworked the reds since they were mismatched on the toy where the painted sections didn't match the plastic, particularly on the top of the fighter, the back section of the turret guns and stripes, and the reds on the inner sides of the legs. Color matched the reds on the super parts too since they were also too light. Then I finished it off by changing the dead flat matte coating to a semi-gloss. I took that fold wave emitter part to replace the piece that was missing and repainted it. I think you'd be hard pressed to tell which part was the one I repainted. Also found out that the hinges for the tray the head attaches to were all cracked and split open. I had to take it apart and super glue the loops. Has anyone else's cracked? I think the metal tube inserted into the holes must have been too big and caused the plastic to split over time. I also noticed the same thing happened on my 1st release 25F renewal. Anyway, here's fighter mode for now. I think I'm finding that I like the super parts more without the fuel pods for the atmospheric loadout.

Beautiful MJ (as always!) - you should definitely graduate to building models with the amount of work & effort you put into these toys, its immensely gratifying (sometimes ). Thanks guys! I was pretty satisfied with the result. I think it was worth the extra effort to rework the 29. Here's my first attempt at messing with making a composite image just to see how I would do. The VF-25 Master File inspired me to give it a try. I don't have any fancy software, just used GIMP.
