physioguy Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I couldn't help it, so i stayed up late and detailed the rau a bit more to my liking. Thanks for all the kind words so far. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3185584117 I don't know how to post images, but if someone could do that for me, that would be great. Also, Graham, I will send some higher res photos when able. harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTShark Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Great looking custom awesome work... Bit of advice on the listing. Make it absolutely explicit that only the custom is for sale and that the original red one in the pic is only there for comparison. Probably won't matter, but it doesn't hurt to cover yourself.

Powered Convoy Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Awesome work! I hope Yamato releases this (with appropriate mold changes). That's one sweet custom! Keep up the great work! Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Open only to bidders with good feedback (ie: 1 negative for every 50 positives), otherwise email before you bid. I'm very interested, but I'm new to ebay (just purchased twice), so I don't have much of a feedback yet. Is that okay for you? Great custom, I hope to have at my shelf soon. Good luck!

mpau25 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Awesome work! I hope Yamato follows your lead and eventually releases a green one as well. The finish looks a little duller than the stock Yamato one, i LIKE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 (edited) How did you change the eye? Clarification: I can see that the eye is changed. I wondering about the method used. Best Regards, H Edited April 1, 2004 by Hurin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Q Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Wow, that thing is shooting up in price! The amazing thing is that there's plenty of time left. Maybe there IS a market for the green TV Q-Rau? If I wasn't a poor, unemployed, worthless sack of excrement, then I would bid to win on that Bad Girl. BTW, great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 There's definitely a market for the green Q-Rau. I've even seen comments on a Japanese BBS from people who say they prefer the green. I'm willing to wait a bit to see how things develop, but even if Yamato does a green Q-Rau along the lines of this custom, using just a repaint without major modifications (maybe fix the antenna and remold the eye), I'll buy it.

physioguy Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 again, thanks for all the kind words. just a tip for those who are like minded and don't like the glossy finish on the yamato RAUs. If you buy a Matte Enamel clear coat, comes in a spray can, a light spray can cure the shine. I did it with my red rau. You just have to be careful not to overspray it (cuz totally dull finish doesn't look too sharp either), or to spray it unevenly. Also, get a good quality spray. Krylon works well for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physioguy Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 Thanks again for the kind words. The head was just painted proper, and the space between the eye bars was filled in first. If the price gets higher, I'll probably do a whole custom head for the winner and my own one at the same time. It wouldn't be too hard with a scalpel and some sculpey. I wish they were cheaper so i could make a fleet of them. I'm also desperately waiting for a yamato pod, along with the rest of you I'm sure. harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Q Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I'm also desperately waiting for a yamato pod, along with the rest of you I'm sure.harry I would be so happy if Yamato released a Regult in 1/60 scale. How likely is it to happen? I wouldn't hold my breath... It is better not to hope for something if there is no chance of realizing it. Why set yourself up for the agony of disappointment? I imagine a Glaug is much more likely but probably that ain't even gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 VF-1 2NV Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Does anyone have a pic of this thing? It was a custom green q-rau made form a milia red q-rau. I think a member had it in his glass display case, but put it away because he has small children or was it because he was moving to another country.
