007-vf1

last time I checked it went by over $70 a piece..is the most seeked after action fleet toy..i still want one..

It should be a rule of thumb that no matter what new model/toy comes out in the open it should have a comparison shot with a 1/72 ot 1/48 valk....

AMEN to that compadre... There's goodness in most of us latin people.. By the way Feyd, after all this, never reveal your real name in this forum...

Those look nice. They also seem to be adequate for a 1/72 vf- armored battroid conversion.

Before you go for the oil wash or any wash for that matter I would suggest you to go through a light clear coat layer wether is made of acrylics, enamel or future (acrylics) this way if you do the same with the Q-tip or any other mistake you'll, most likely, strip the clear coat away and not the paint. As it has been mentioned before, let the paint cure a couple of days if not more; same goes for the clear coat the key is going light on it or an enamel clear coat might wash off the base acrylic coat; this happened to me twice. I clear coat the model with enamel base testor and the wash is made with oil paint diluted with mineral spirits which would actually wash the clear coat away but in small amounts and enough drying time it doesn't happen.

the trusters and verniers are another pain in the butt but a necessary evil. Again; every single nozzle (yes even the tiny ones) are painted in 2 colors the outside of the verniers are painted with alclad polished aluminum and the inside a mix of jet exhaust and copper. The top pic shows the first spray with aluminum. The ones in the bottom are the ones I took from the top pic; about half of the ones I have to paint in total. The difference here is that the very small ones will be painted by hand brush since they are nearly imposible to figure a way to hold them still when airbrushing...

here's an update. the main parts have been painted here's the sequence for the painting process. 1 -base color for panel line shading; dark blue mixed with grey and white 2- second base color for panel highlights; white mixed with medium blue 95/5 ratio Every panel is individually airbrushed, but most times this process is too tedious and overwhelming so I skip details on some panels and blend the panel lines.

t last tey had the spanish right...feliz ano nuevo a todos..felicidad y salud mas que cualquier otra cosa..

Here we go again trying to answer the question of who came first; the chicken or the egg... 14 years of game loving must have turned you into a big geek indeed, but remember she married that big geek because those dreams are what you were made of, and now wanting you to get rid of them means she wants to change you into another man she likes "better", In my book there's something wrong with this picture... To me the problem with this is the fact that she's "blowing it out of proportion", making fights and wanting you to get rid of ALL of the videos... Well, keep the one or 2 consoles you like most with the minimal amount fog ames to live the enxt 20 years and buy yourself an Xbox or game cube to keep the child on you and make her understand you need to keep some if not a lot of the memorabilia that is truly meaningful to you; but please convert to DVD already....

Oh the problem is not as much owning one. It is having the time to build it and make it look exceptionally good...

Do you mean this awesome thing...? I got it from Noel 'Black Aces' or Rob 'Samurai Monkey' (don't remember actually whom) they pop up every once in a while on ebay but ask some of the members here. I have seen it on the sell section twice a while back..

you kick a$$, man..!!!

I used to love the Thundercats...where the heck is the DVD ??!!!

the scale is what kills me...

If this build up is just a "gloopy" warm up I like to see the serious/ well finished stuff you come up with... Tell me about the base...what is it made of?

another one...I lost the web page address

that's a well done Jotun, digging further ont he website I found this "blow superior" that blew me away..!!!

Darn it jessee!! count me in for 1....

1/72 glaug, 1/72 hasegawavf-1 Battroids X 3, 2 hasegawa vf-1 fighters with fast packs, 1 vinil son goku (over 1 year waiting to be finished) 144's vf-11 with resin armor X 2 (3 months waiting) hasegawa Minmay gerwalk X 2 As you can see you aren't the only one who has the model no-time-to-get-to-them blues..is just a nomal face on the model building life that toys collector don't go through; is called priorities in life A pic of what I am currently working on and this has priority to be finished over any other model by year's end ...

this is a very welcome news. I hope it doesn't stay on the "just a project" stasis and becomes a reality.. Btw; I haven't seen the 1/48 VE-1's or Ostrich convertions anywhere, what's going on??

What happened to the crappy models!?! I dont see any lumps! Man; like a said before, it's all up to the photograph... all the crappy models look awesome under the right lighting conditions...he,he..
