MechTech Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Well everyone, I'm finally releasing my first kit, a 1/350 scale VF-1J, GBP-1S. A GIANT THANK YOU to Valkyrie who's doing the casting and taking orders. This will be the first in a series that I plan to do in this scale. This kit includes every detail that could be fit into this scale to include a full load of missiles minus the ones in the box, and that's only because you can only get resin so thin! Some of the special features of this kit includes: - Optionally posable chest and shoulder missile hatches - Full load of missiles in chest, shoulders and arms - Fully detailed gunpod and missile boxes - Styrene rod head lasers If you'd like to purchase one, please contact Valkyrie, or see him at Wonder Festival where he'll have them packaged and ready to go! There's always room for another Valk in your collection - especially if it's under 1.75" and is a mere $10.00! There will be proper packaging and instructions included. Makes great playing pieces for checkers too! Here's some casting photos that Valkyrie has added primer on to make the details stand out: There's also a couple of prototype photos to show the original work in detail: Only catch is you'll have to get your own quarter for a stand ! The next project will be a fully loaded VF-1J fighter. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 MechTech did an awesome job creating package art and instructions for the kit too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yes! Finally some more 1/350 love. Valkyrie make sure you have a few of these GBP-1S ready for me this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thanks everyone, especially Valkyrie for posting a packaged photo! Petar, did you say cutie!? Have fun at WF guys! Bring back all sorts of cool stuff and photos to make us jealous I'm nearly done with the 1/350 Valk. Just need to consider if I'm going to prime it - yes its that small that I'm afraid some details will be covered up, especially the turbine. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neptunesurvey Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I just bought 2 of these from Valkyrie and the pictures do not give it justice. The detail is great. Valkyrie has one painted and looks very nice. I will try and take a picture of the painted one tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yea, I did a quick, half-assed build to bring to the show. I'd post a pic myself, but I only brought my iPad with, and I can't post pics here with it :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'm anxious to see see I've never see the whole thing put together yet! - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Here are few pictures of a paint one that Valkyrie had at WF. Not the GBP but the 1/5000 Ikazuchi with friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghadrack Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I grabbed a couple at Wonderfest as well and put one together in my hotel room late Saturday night. I love miniatures, these are so awesomely detailed for their scale it's hard to describe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Thanks Ghadrack - I appreciate it! I'm trying to maintain and improve upon that for the next ones. Thanks a million Neptune for the photos! It's good to see what it all looks like together! Now I need to order mine I like the Mospeada models too! Anything more Mospeada subjects in 1/350 The Garfish was a great kit! - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Well, I finally got one built and painted up! Thanks again Valkyrie for casting these for me! Here's the finished product. Please bear with my horrible painting, especially for something this small! I had to keep repainting after touching painted parts since there's no good place to hold or clamp this thing. The next build will be with missile hatches open ready to take out, well, whatever is only 1.5" high I hope you guys like it! The problem with having to use a magnifying lense is it shows EVERY FLAW and texture. - MT Edited July 5, 2012 by MechTech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipe Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Great job ! What a pain for the eyes to paint such a tiny valk ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks a lot Jipe, I appreciate it! Here's my son's assembled (he wanted it in Itano Circus mode) - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jipe Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Like father, like son... Good luck to paint the missiles inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks guys! Contact Valkyrie (also posted in this thread) to see if he still has some. This started out as just a project to make me copies, so I don't know if he has any left. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Not a bad paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vt102 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Very nice work! How long do you plan on making these? And when is that fighter coming out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 As long as Valkyrie still wants to cast them, it's up to him. The fighter is basically done, I'm just working on a very special stand to stick it on. More to come later... - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Will it have the super armor or is just a fully loaded valkyrie with 12 missiles and the gun pod? I still will buy several regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hey Neptune. Right now it DOES have the obligatory missiles and gunpod. I'm contemplating the armor (and would like it myself), but it will need new legs to be made. What do you guys all think? - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yes, to armor version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 OK, I really want one armored too. I think it may have to be seperate because of the amount of rework. I'll start a new thread on it for photos and orders since it's completely different. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vt102 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Anyone know if these are still available?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 PM Valkyrie. He should still have them available. The base is taking longer than expected, but still progressing. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
