Kurt Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Hey everyone! Here is my 1/48 Custom Enigma completed. I should have the Fast Packs next week so I can really complete this valk. You can see in progress images here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=ST&f=24&t=4050 Let me know what you think. And for those of you that may be interested, if you provide the valk and the decals I am willing to do these on commission. Just PM me for a quote. Thanks again and enjoy the following images.

EXO Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Looks great, even close up... how is the paint holding up when the joints are moved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperOstrich Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Best looking 1/48 custom so far. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted January 2, 2004 Author Share Posted January 2, 2004 I have transformed it twice so far and everything seems to be holding up. I don't plan on transforming it much, so I don't anticipate a problem. Thanks for the compliments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull 001 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 That is just awesome. I wish Yamato would do another LE valk but this one be the one made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie23 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Great work Kurt! By your early pics I thought you were painting a darker version of the Enigma, but it looks great either way =) Skull 001's got a great idea. I'd snatch up a LE Enigma 1S anytime. Someone should send these pics to Yamato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Kraimer Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 That is totally awsome. what kind of tape should i use if i can't find the tamaya stuff??? kurt??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 That is totally awsome. what kind of tape should i use if i can't find the tamaya stuff??? kurt??? If you can't find the Tamiya tape, maybe try the blue masking tape found in the paint department of home improvement stores. I know that is not as tacy as regular masking tape, but you should still be careful before using it. Test it first to make sure that it won't pull up any paint. If it does, stick it to a cutting board or a piece of glass first to remove some tackiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 great work Kurt! Did you clear coat the paint job? The paints you used, are they water-based? Thanks! Here are the layers that were applied - laquer primer, Gunze Sangyo acrylic (water-base). two coats of future and then a coat of Polly-S flat (water-base).

Mr March Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Well, your efforts paid off. This is easily the best 1/48 custom I've seen and it will be a tough act to follow. It looks very sharp and the colors very much suit the Valkyrie. Great pictures too (though you gotta pick some more dramatic poses). This looks so good, I may spend some of my christmas money on a custom from ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenGuy42 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Simply beautiful. Pictures like this make me want to take a chance on one of MY 1/48s. It wouldn't turn out so nice, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neova Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) Kurt, My favorite custom 1/48 from the ones I've seen so far. Jung's CF 1/48 is a close 2nd though. I wish my bank would inflate right now so I can send you and Jung a case of 1/48s each for commission work. I can't wait to see you finish off the Fast Packs!
