NeoverseOmega Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 After seeing pics of Anasazi's Blue Roses Valk and a post with black shark paint scheme I wondered why there wasn't a gallery for 1/48 customs. So post one, post all - even if your custom job is just panel lining and stickering-lets see the love you've shown your valkyries! Quote

Neova Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 VF-19 Pilot, Your VF-1S is sweet! Would you mind writing up a how to for your panel lines? I want to do the same to mine! Great job! Quote
VF-19 pilot!!! Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 (edited) sure..... it is so low-tech you guys will not believe me! here goes , 1. get a fine tip permanent marker and use it to fill in the natural grove lines. (best if done section by section) then with your finger rub over the panel lines ( this will have a dual effect) 1. it will only remove the excess permanent marker from the surface area leaving the actual lines stained black with that sleek look i have. 2. it will also create that weathering affect that makes the valk look more real as if it has been in battle... to finish up , get some ordinary windex and cloth(clean) and give it a coat or two... (note these steps must be done right after each other)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 and remeber one section at a time !!!!!!! well there you have it guys quick and easy no real fuss , except that your arms will feel like you were lifting water buckets all day...but it is hell-of-woth it!!!!!

GreatMoose Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Sorry for the huge size! Another: Another: Another: Quote
NeoverseOmega Posted December 4, 2003 Author Posted December 4, 2003 Thanks guys! It's amazing how talented some of the people on this site are. VF-19 Pilot: Low-tech schmo-tech it looks gorgeous. I'll have to engage in your high impact arm workout when my 1-J arrives (my first valk, I'm all tingly). Great Moose: I'll have to use my lower jaw as a dust-pan because I still can't get it up off the floor. That black shark is awe-inspiring - I imagine the valk actually emits an insane giggle every time an enemy dies. Those eyes are beautifully . . . maniacal. It's interesting to see how light the "black" parts of a valkyrie actually are next to your paint job. I guess they just look black instead of grey because of contrast. Are the yellow stripes under the kite emblem actually part of a decal or did you actually paint those on? Looks like a spectacular start to the 1/48th Valkyrie Louvre. Maybe once we get a large enough collection the administrators will actually make the gallery a part of the site . . . (oh that's right, I forgot, I'm just about the only person who would notice if Graham took down everything but the forums) . Anyway, keep 'em comin'. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 i've posted these before, but heres some of my Low Vis with Anasazi's sticker set. he hooked it up with some custom numbers and pilot tags.... Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 This one's been shown before as well, but once again, here's a peek at #036 of the U.N. Marines "Green Dragon" squadron. Stickers were made by Anasazi, Takatoys, and yours truly . Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 I love the generic look of the low-vis. Here it is all decked out: Quote
sidearmsalpha Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Man, D!!!! That combo is awesome!!! What color green is that?! Quote
mechatek Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Wow, that custom is simply beautiful Rabidweezil. I especially like the wings. Keep us updated. Quote
Neova Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Keep them coming folks! Simply Beautiful! BTW: Anyone working on an Enigma variant? Quote
NeoverseOmega Posted December 5, 2003 Author Posted December 5, 2003 To reiterate. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Rabidweasel, that jet almost looks like it should be on a runway. Enigma variants would be nice to see, true. Any fan-invented squadrons out there? Quote
Montarvillois Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Work in progress Red Roses Custom Oh now I really like this one Rabidweasel. Please post more pics with closeups. It looks awesome man. Quote
EXO Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Hey Rabidweezil, that looks awesome. The only thing that bugs me is Yamato's splotchy weathering. But your details look and painting look great. Quote
Montarvillois Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 You know that the Yamato weathering can be removed in 2 minutes with lighter fluid and a towel... It looks awesome like that though IMO. Quote
EXO Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 I took mine off with alcohol swipes. It took longer than that though... I don't have any lighter fluid at home... But that stupid weathering gets worse the more you touch it. Quote
Kurt Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Keep them coming folks! Simply Beautiful!BTW: Anyone working on an Enigma variant? Yes, I am planning on doing an Enigma. Just waiting for the VF-1A Max and Anasazi's decals to show up. I will keep everyone posted. i amy need some help, this will be my first custom. Quote
Jung Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Here's a custom 1/48 brown vf1a that I've been working on..almost finished! Quote
Aegis! Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Awesome work , that weathered Cannon Fodder looks great , I hope I get my reissues soon so I can post my custom VF-1A Fokker custom Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Man, D!!!! That combo is awesome!!! What color green is that?! Thanks! That's Medium Green (FS 34102) on the fast packs. There's more pics of it in yellowlightman's site: http://www.yellowlightman.com/mfc/thumbnai...ls.php?album=24 That CF is looking sweet, Jung! Quote
Max_Jenius Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Work in progress Red Roses Custom Hey Rabidweasel, that is a nice looking custom. Keep us posted on the progess. Quote
Max_Jenius Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 I also really liked the paint scheme of D's custom valk with the fast pack set and of Jung's cannon fodder VF-1A. Great job on both. Quote
Rune Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 WOW!! Jung that CF looks sweet as does the Green Fastpacks on the D. Max please post picts of yours when you are finished.Man all these nice ustoms and I can no way afford an extra 1/48 for customizing any time soon. <_ Quote
gnollman Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Dig those fast packs, Valk hunter D.... Everybody's stuff looks great.... Quote
MacBoy29 Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Jung's custom VF-1A looks hella gorgeous! Very nice! Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Jung's custom VF-1A looks hella gorgeous! Very nice! yep. that kicks ass, Jung!! Quote
NeoverseOmega Posted December 6, 2003 Author Posted December 6, 2003 Damn. Cannon Fodder just shouldn't look that good. Kamawori will have to make an exception and let that be the one indestructable brownie. Quote
