Almost done.

Use auto body filler. It works great and sets hard and solid as a rock.

doh, dee, doh, dee, doh.

la, de, de, da, de, da.

Is SK standing (all pimp like) in the prototyping sector of Bandai? Awesome!! That's a serious valkyrie hangar.

It's quite simple to dilute paints. At a ratio of 2:1, you would take, for example; 2oz of paint to 1oz of thinner (or whatever you wish to use as a paint thinner). You can sometimes eyeball the ratio, but if your doing a custom color use a dropper or a measuring cup (or jar). Or vice versa to use as a lighter coat. There really is no specific dilution formula, it's more of a preference that will set your standard for applying paints.

Donation? I love donations. Just send them my way.... ...and thanks!

It's a 1/72 provided by one of our resident wonders. Excellent job, HWR.

Still waiting. But while they're taking their sweet time, I could be done with all the valkyries in my sig.

These are basic parts. The really cool stuff is the design for the head and neck.

...and the beat goes on...

It does but a new backpack hinge will be designed to utilize and set the the booster and backpack in the correct position as the lineart.

You can get an idea of the profile if you look at my avatar. The 1D is done. The Ostrich will feature having the head tucked in during non-armoured fighter mode and a protruding head during Super fighter mode. Took me a while to figure it all out. All I need now is to complete the armour and minor details.

The vaccuform tray is actually from a Joons box (or any other knockoff that had this type of insert).

Thanks for the info. Rush job or not, the valkyrie looks fantastic. I Blame >A-Hole<.

Still working on the Ostrich........

In the TIA books is there any information that displays the engines on the VT-1? Maybe more details than the Gold Book.

Oops, meant to say blended. Some people refer to a double as a blend of two types of scotch, eventhough it's not really a term for this type of libation.

You might want to also want to consider mild soap, and plastic containers of various sizes for soaking and cleaning.

Those are really nice. How much longer are you going to have these available?

Are there any pics of the painting and prepping process? It would be nice if Hirohawa could share a bit more insight on his build.

I thought hanging out under the neon lights of Norm's sign was your favorite?

This one's for you..............
