EXO Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Damn. Cannon Fodder just shouldn't look that good. Kamawori will have to make an exception and let that be the one indestructable brownie. Word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabidweezil Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 First off..Jung..that is incredible! I really wish I could do that. And thanks for everyone's kind words on my custom. Here are some close ups of Battroid mode. All I have to do now is finish putting on stickers and wait for my fast-packs from Twin Moons to arrive. When I get those I'll post pics of the finished product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoverseOmega Posted December 7, 2003 Author Share Posted December 7, 2003 Geez. The customs keep getting better. It looked great when we saw the fighter mode, but in battroid we can really see all the touch ups you've done to it. I love where you placed the dark grey. I think it actually looks a lot more like something you might see in an airfield than the classic Fokker version. Too bad we can't get a shot of Rabidweasel's custom stomping on the head of an MPC and a flock of 1/60th brownies on their knees bowing down before Jung's big daddy. OK, Rabidweasel's custom HAS to be the messiah of VF-1A's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu523 Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Rabidweezil, Did you do a complete repaint or just add to it? I noticed that you had different squad emblems on the tail. Did you remove the skulls? Great work however you did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlenhoff Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Here is my "custom" It is only the Panel lines, but WTH! enjoy! http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...t=ST&f=4&t=3699 Vic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batou Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 That CF looks amazing, Jung. Lookin' good too, there, Rabidweasel. You guys are a lot braver than I am with these things. I'll pen in the panel lines and toss on some stickers, but that's as far as I'll go. There's nothing I love better than custom schemes like the ones you see in Model Grahpix and Hobby Japan, but I think I'll save my admittedly amateurish efforts for the Hasegawas (much cheaper and easily replaced). Keep 'em coming, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoverseOmega Posted December 7, 2003 Author Share Posted December 7, 2003 Nice touch up Vlenhoff. The 1-J's a beauty. I'm still waiting on mine. Anxiously. Painfully. Every second. Waiting. With bated breath. I MUST HAVE IT NOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahem, where was I? Oh, Vlenhoff. Don't sweat it if your "custom" isn't a major overhaul. As wonderful as things like Rabidweasel's uber-1A are, this thread is here to show off the love people give their valkyries by bringing out their beauty. Everyone seems to have a different technique, a slightly unique touch. For example, your panel lines are very different than the first valk that was shown in this thread. They are exquisitely clean - most of what I've seen has a smeared or streaked look. I'm sure there would be some debate over which looks better (I have to admit in some cases the smeared technique looks more realistic) but those clean lines evoke the anime so well - like the valk stepped off of the frame in full 3-D glory. Did you pull that off with a wash or a marker? How on earth did you keep it so crisp? I know I know, this isn't a modelling forum, but I'd like to do the same for my valk when it arrives. Well everyone, whether it just be a nice touch up or the introduction something insane like the puce unicorn squadron keep the donations coming!

Did you remove the skulls? Great work however you did it. I just stripped off the dark gray original details with brake fluid. I have heard on here that that stuff weakens plastic..but I just dabbed and rubbed..and rubbed..and rubbed. Fingers were a little sore....

da_gremlinz Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 This one's been shown before as well, but once again, here's a peek at #036 of the U.N. Marines "Green Dragon" squadron. Stickers were made by Anasazi, Takatoys, and yours truly . this along with the greem fast pack low vis are amongst my favorite out of all the customs i have seen thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull 001 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hey Jung great job. Do you have any spots that rub when transforming. I am about to do a custom but I am trying to figure out what to do with areas that may rub or chip durring transformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jung Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) Hey Jung great job. Do you have any spots that rub when transforming. I am about to do a custom but I am trying to figure out what to do with areas that may rub or chip durring transformation. The knee caps were a major problem with paint rubbing off, just sand it down and problem solved. However don't sand the ring area of the knee caps, I think those are what keeps it stiff. The back piece that holds the wings should be sanded down a bit so it doesn't grind so much on the wings. Either than that, it held up very well during transformation, surprisingly very minor paint chipping. forgot to mention, the "hip lights" rubs against the outer thigh, so sand that down a bit aswell.

This sort of reminds me of the TF clear limited versions. Maybe Yamato would do a special 1/48 Clear version for the DRYL Annivesary.

Aegis! Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Wow , mate I never thought a blank 1/48 VF-1 would look that beautiful.

EXO Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I'm probably gonna keep it that way, which means I have to get another one for my custom.

Uxi Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Kinda makes u wish that Yamato would release a plain unpainted valkyrie for customizing purposes. Maybe even direct from their factory or through some Japanese intermediary. Woudln't even have to box/package it. Just put it in a plastic tray and plain cardboard box.

EXO Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Hi kabayan EXO! What did you use to strip the paint off the valk? Looks very clean and very nice to paint on a new color scheme! gian7675 Castrol Super Clean Degreaser... Reusable... Clean... and biodegrable. Just like Lysol, just leave it in there and use a fine grit sanding paper to wipe off the paint. The valk actually came out whiter than that but I messed with some panel lining and stuff. And taken at night with a low flash, maybe I'll take another pic under daylight next time. Wala nang horas ngayon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
