min Posted December 21, 2003 Posted December 21, 2003 I took these pictures real quick with my camcorder before having to run to the airport to come home for the holidays. The picture quality isnt that good but my regular camera broke a few week ago. It's basically just a paint job of a roy vf-1s with some takatoys low-vis stickers. I tried to weather it a bit but it didnt come out. Although I think it will look so much better with fastpacks, i havent decied if I want to waste a set on my custom. My skill are pretty shabby compared to a lot of the other customs I see now. Anyways, here are some pictures. Fighter 1 Quote

Isamu Atreides 86 Posted December 21, 2003 Posted December 21, 2003 nice job. that looks great! Quote
Jung Posted December 21, 2003 Posted December 21, 2003 That looks great Min, you should definitely add a set of fast packs Quote
Mr March Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Very nice! Although I'm not a huge fan of the yellow strips, the black 1/48 Yammie looks fantastic. Some great custom work. Very sharp and professional. Quote
mbs357 Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Very awesome custom...really. O_O I'll buy it from you for...for...this five dollar bill I have on my desk!!! =x Quote
Toonz Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 where did u get those decals from? what paint did u use? Quote
Neova Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Great job there. The only that detracts from it is the shine. I think a matte overcoat will bring out the details more. Quote
Solscud007 Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 panel lines look blue??!! Ah damnit I forgot what that is called. Its not blue it has soemthing to do with the CCD chip that digital cameras use to capture light. Its an error in processing. Liek cheap shitty digital cameras, if you take a picture of soemthing black it doesnt come out black you get other speccks of color thats what that blue thing is Oh but it has to do with light not shadows.

min Posted December 22, 2003 Author Posted December 22, 2003 hey guys. thanks for the compliments. this custom was actually pretty simple but i dont think i will want to another one. at least not in my studio apartment. there's just not enough room. i had parts everywhere. although it looks black, the color i used is actually a dark blue and the sun wasnt really that bright when i took the pictures. the color that's seen in the magazine photos look more like a dark gray though. i kinda wish i was able to weather it a lot more but wasnt able to achieve that effect. even dark dark black didnt really show up that well against the blue. what can i do about this? also i didnt really mind the seam on the vf-1s head before too much but after i puttied it, i think it looks so much better w/o the seam. i also sanded out the 'made in china' on the wings which was bugging me. ill probably do a fast pack when i get back.

Hoptimus Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Looks great! Nice to see more customs not from the TV/Movies of Macross. Quote
asianLove Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 AAH!! I totally wanna' re-paint my Low Vis!! AAAH!! I will attain all of you wonderful people's skill level one day!! AAH!! Quote
Uxi Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Looks pretty good. Please don't do that to a Low-Viz though... get a Max or 1st issue Hikaru or Roy or something... Quote
waylandcool Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 Great looking valk. I'd call that scheme the Yellowjacket. Unless that's a really dark blue instead of black. Quote

Yes, what is that called anyway? I hate how all my digital pictures have all these rainbows of colors specs all over the place. How do I minimize them? Quote
