Kurt Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Hey everyone. As promised here are the completed DYRL VF-1S's w/o fast packs. I will have an image of all three in fighter mode as soon as I finish the fast packs. I want to limit the number times I have to transform them. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

柿崎速雄 Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 why MAX-1S not "001"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine23 Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Gorgeous... seriously, that is some beautiful work. Except, I still feel bad for Kakizaki.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptimus Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Those are great exept for the fact that Max should be 001 when he is Skull Leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Great work on them, but I'm afraid all three should be marked 001, as all 3 were Skull 1 at the times they flew their respective 1S valks. Again, great job on the detailing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Man those look bad @$$!!! Now I gotta go find me a 1/48 max to buy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g3173 Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Awesome work Kurt! you most definitely made my Monday Now to answer some questions! The variation of numbers is no biggie for me and I actually prefer them to be different! We're actually going to make some minor changes so they will be a unique DYRL VF's and the not the ordinary movie version. We won't spill the beans just yet so you'll have to stay tuned to see what I mean. They're very minor but I think will be a nice change to see in these customs Now the missing Kaki is my doing only because I already have 3 DYRL Kaki in 1/55 scale and I just can't see getting another one I have so many customs going on right now and plus uncle Sam to deal with, so maybe later down the road we'll get him done too. As you all can tell i'm a big fan of custom VF's and have invested a pretty good penny on my collection. Some day when I'm finished with the 1/48 scale I will try and take pictures of my collection to proudly display to everyone. Until then I hope you enjoy Kurt's work, they truly are masterpieces!

ChristopherB Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Kurt, Wow, absolutely beautiful customs! Can't wait to see them with the armor on, and especially the strike cannons. Gene, I am very envious of you, and I know your collection of customs has surpassed mine. I've been investing in Gundam resin kits, and as such my Macross custom collection has suffered lately. Not only that, but the price for a Yamato VF-1S and Super/Strike armor is close to $200.00 each once shipping is factored in, plus the custom commission means that each project is a lot more of an investment as compared to when the 1/55's were popular. I'll reply to your PM as soon as possible. Sincerely, Christopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted April 5, 2004 Author Share Posted April 5, 2004 Thanks everyone. The 013 on the Max was my fault. The original plan was to build this as a 1A, which 013 would have been fine for. However the plan changed to making the 1S version of Max. How I have to be honest and admit my lack of knowledge here. I have only seen DYRL once. So most of my Macross knowledge is based off the TV series. And since Max never flew the 1S on TV ( I don't think. I hope I'm not wrong about that also) I assumed his number stayed 013. If I would have paid closer attention to the Hasegawa 1S decal instructions, I would have picked up on this. At least the customer is happy, and that is my first priority. Thanks Gene!

eming Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Which kind of decals did you use? So far I know there are two available 1/48 sticker/Decals for customisers in the market. Takatoys and Anasazi37. What are the difference between the two, which is easier to apply? Any info is greatly appreicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eming Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Or is there is any existing thread about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Anasazi's are generally water-slide decals. Takatoys are stickers. They are cut, and apply. No water necessary. They both look great. But the water-slide do tend to lay down flatter and appear more "painted-on" if you know what you're doing and use modeling techniques to apply them. I think Anasazi may also offer a "sticker" version of his water-slide decals. But, I'm not sure. If you're going to be painting and detailing your valk, I'd recommend the Anasazi water slide ones. If you're going to be just applying stickers to a stock valkyrie and want to leave it at that (no clear coat or protective layer), go with Takatoys stickers. Both look great! Neither are pre-cut. You have to cut them from the sheet individually. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty and then paint? I filled the seam with thin super glue then sanded. Followed that up with some Mr. Surfacer 500 and smoothed everything out. Then primed and painted. I used Anasazi's decals on the these three. The decals are far supierior to stickers if you want a realistic look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
