GMANIFESS is fearless. Once I have my own da, na, na, na, na, mancave! I may have a few valks hanging around. Unfortunately that will be until I find a new job. Also depending on there 30th Anniversary releases, I decided I'm going to hunt down some V.1 VT and VE-1's. At first I thought they were as ugly as the first girl I ever hooked up with but they've grown on me (unlike her). Here's a pic on the current mancave area I'm working with.

These are the first kits I've ever built and honestly there's not a lot to the basics. Plus you're starting in the right place because this kit is cheap and easy. Lucky for you and I, we have this awesome community to help us through the things we don't understand.

Theres the camo suggetion. Lets get a tie breaker and I'll get to work on it.

It's too little, to late if you ask me. Especially if they want $170 for it. You can find alpha/beta combos on ebay for $120. HG just needs to sell the damn license already because they aren't taking advantage of it.

Well that's one for Alaska Base.

Looks good bro. I just want to sing that "You're Beautiful" song when I look at it. -
That head makes me think of the offspring of a naughty Armored Core head and a dirty dirty VF-1A.

I hear if you wear a pink shirt that the girls at the beauty salon won't be as quick to judge either, just don't have that "I'm lost" expression on your face. Also I'm still waiting on some suggestions for a paint scheme before I start priming and painting.

Anyone know how I can get a hold of member: TSP ?

Something in my head would've burst by now. -
Stickers for V.2

That's some good looking stuff. I look forward to the finished product. The fact that you hand made all that is awesome. Also when using photobucket choose the IMG Code to get your pics to appear normally in your post.

It is a good deal that he actually puts on regularly. The derelict ship is awesome but not my cup of tea.

There's one on evilbay right now for $99 USD.

I'm slowly but surely putting together my modeling tool kit. I've noticed people have some pretty interesting things in their tool kits and they all have some sort of functional use.
-
Yes it does. Thanks for your help.

Ok, next question, why Windex?
-
I just need to find a cheap VF-11C.

It would've been perfect if the green was in the blue's pose using the red's background.

What process do you use for pre-shading?

So there are times I tend to be an oversized caveman kind of guy. In this case it means snapping two pieces in half while I was sanding. First was the fin on the gun. And second was the fin for the leg. I guess the lesson to be learned here is be careful with thin pieces that have a large panel line through them, or ARII makes a fragile model. Does anyone know if the plastic this is made out of gets brittle after 10+ years?
-
Today I cut away all the excess plastic making it easier to sand and prep it for priming. I try to cut way the plastic on the most visible areas so when I paint it I either don't have to touch up that little area or it's not as noticable if it ends up being slightly off color. I also leave a little "handle" or something I can pick up with tweezers so it's easier to hold during painting. Hopefully the weather clears up soon so I can start priming.

Great builds bro. Thanks for sharing.
-
I think we need these guys posting their work in our Model's and Building/Customizing threads.

I really have to get me a green Alpha/Beta combo. All I got is that Shadow fighter that has no Beta.
