Cesar Enrique Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi again!! This is the turn for my VF-1S gerwalk, I made this from a VF-1J gerwalk hasegawa, I used some markings from spare vf-1s fighter and battroid decals, also the head is from a hasegawa vf-1 a/j/s fighter. I still have SO MANY macross models to work on, I see so much fun in the horizon. I really enjoy painting my kits weathered, as I don`t really like clean valkyries. This kit also has a canopy that can be displayed open, closed or without it, it also has scratch build for the controls inside the cockpit instead of buying the expensive photo etched details. I still need to learn how to make seat belts. If you like how it came out, please visit my facebook page to see extra pictures of it and other macross projects I have worked on www.facebook.com/ArquimiaModels Please leave a comment below. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggy99 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Very awesome work! If only I had the patience and time to do this kind of thing. Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefuemon Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 My only complaint is that with all those dynamic poses, there should be a pilot sitting in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cesar Enrique Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thank you. I'm terrible at painting pilots, I painted both figures included with the weapon set... they look awful, it's better not to use them hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cesar Enrique Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 stunning work, looks fantastic, that weathering looks stunning would love to know how did it????? great build... Thank you. It would be very long to explain each technique used,I used airbrush, brush, oils, pastels, and a lot of practice of different techniques, also it was a project of many months of careful work.

MechTech Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 AWESOME finish! Weathered; I'd say more like slightly crispy, like the scene where Hikaru rescues Misa in the tunnel at Alaska Base and flies through the flames. Especially the photo where you removed the canopy! Great work, yuo can see the layers of techniques. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work, yuo can see the layers of techniques. - MT Thank you, I wanted to represent burnt paint, due to hight speeds, or being exposed to the sun in space, I really love dirty Sci-fi mechs, valkyries will not be the exception in my collection.

Daetrin Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I think it came out great - outstanding attention to detail (saying this as someone who actually used to work on real military aircraft). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
