Valkyrie Hunter D Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 With these two day cutoms, I think I can finally declare my 1/60 collection complete, neee-ha! Hikaru 1S Strike:
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 Inspired by the valk in this thread, Sex Valk , I decided to give my TRU CF a makover:
TheFrenchOne Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 I was close to wet my pants Anyway it is undoubtly an original custom (probably never seen before) Congrats !
Toonz Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 nice strike! did you repaint that roy strike? or was it a head swap?
connor99 Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 You lucky son of a gun!! congrats on completing yer collection. Just love that HIKARU 1S, absolutely beautiful!! T.Y. for posting the pix!
Golden Arms Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 D, you gotta provide us with details on how you came up with your awesome customs. Great work BTW.
Neova Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 D, Looking GOOD! Your stickers pop up out there. Might want to print up some decals or have Devin do some for you. Keep it up.
Anubis Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 All right! That was great. I do believe that's the first actual custom of the sex valk.
DrClay Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 I am very curious as to how you made that strike VF-1S... very curious, indeed!
Anubis Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 I've thought about buying a Strike Roy and repainting it to make a Hikaru Strike as well, since Yamato doesn't seem to want to release one. I'm already going to make a Kakizaki. Just need the time to do it. Have the valk set aside already to do it with.
Uxi Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 Man I wish the TRU special could have been the lighter shade and the mass produced one the darker. I would so have at least 3 of them darker ones if they weren't so damned expensive. Be better yet if they were Bandai reissue color but the darker TRU 1/60 would work, too. I'm not feeling the lighter shade, though...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted May 11, 2004 Author Posted May 11, 2004 Many thanks for the kind comments, I'm just glad to have finally gotten it over with. All those parts have been lying around for quite some time. The Hikaru Strike is just a repaint of Roy's with a sticker set I got from Anasazi a loong time ago. The CF booby duck is a Non-TRU CF with the proper holes drilled in the backpack for the boosters. To hold the mounts for the boosters in place, I had to make epoxy "pockets" inside the backpack assembly. They seem to work too well; it's really hard to take the mounts off once they're fully inside. The spare strike cannon came from parts I've collected over time. As for the Sex Valk, well, I got really bored and I had some clear mailing labels to spare . I drew up all the markings, scanned them, and printed them in the right size. If I used some high quality sticker paper, they wouldn't be popping off like that. But it's no big thing, I was just playing around. As awesome as the 1/48s are, the 1/60s still rock.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 As awesome as the 1/48s are, the 1/60s still rock. What you said!!! The 1/60´s still rock I also had to make some inner epoxy pockets after drilling the backpack on my mass production CF to hold the mounts of the packs tightly.
