Now this is something totally PUKE, er, I mean Fuke I know it's not macross, neither a babe, as the desctiption leads you to believe.

Thanks, I thought they were pullback toys. I read that on the address "www.h2.dion.ne.jp/ ~minikai/pullback008003.jpg", could it be there were customized? There seems to be other painted SD and customs on the site? Unfortunately, I cannot read the language on the pages. I'm just guessing. NB4M

After a long and hard day at work, and your just not in the mood to come home and swwwwooooooshhh your valks around the house there is always this. BTW, does anyone know where to get these?

Good eye, yellowlightman. As a reward you get to drive home in a (new?) car!!!

I found this on Google Images. Just for fun can you tell who makes this?

sorry, double post.... BTW, the jung customs are awesome.

What hands are you using for the Max VF-1S? They look pretty cool, and much better than the frail hands Yamato used.

Excellent work Kurt. How long does it take to complete one of these customs?

I think one of the funiest episodes, was when Buttercup (Green PPG) discovered the toothfairy gives you money for your teeth. I don't want to spoil it, but you really should see it.

It's not really aimed at girls, it just very humourous. You really need to plunk down and see a few of the episodes. They are quite funny.

But in order to graduate, you must learn to spell correctly. Rite?

It would bolt up without a hitch, but then that would mean a total repaint of he nosecone and the entire valkyrie itself (so the color would be consistent throughout). As previously suggested, just paint the nosecone of the VF-1J resissue. ****Always remember less paint mean less paint chips.

It's actually a compact mirror. The valk is just to pretty and vain to go into battle. Unless it's a catfight!! 'Cuz then Meltrandi BIOTCH, IT'S ON!!!

I totally agree with ChristopherB. Also, speaking from experience, a very effective paint remover is called Scalecoat. This media is spefically designed to remove paint from any plastic of resin parts without consequences. The paint that needs removal does not require soaking of parts. It is very easy to use and can be done by just swabbing Scalecoat over the paint to be removed and after a few minutes just wipe the paint away. A VF-1J Reisssue is the most recommendable walk to use as it required only removal of the red paint that destiguishes to be a 1J. The other marking can be left alone and will give you a much cleaner and more orginal look to your custom. With regards to the resin items, all parts must be cleaned, sanded, filled, sanded, primed (this is my method of choice), as it helps to remove imperfections from the recasted items. You can use a paint from Krylon (Smoothest Finish) grey to completely match the original color of the VF-1J plastic. I have posted several pictures of a VF-1A low vis that has this technique applied to it. Mind youm this was the first time I used Scalecoat and Krylon Smoothest Finish Paint, with exemplary results. Search for the thread the pictures are rather large but you'll get the picture. NOTE: You will note that the metal parts are the only painted items, while the blue parts are actually dyed (Plastikote, Shale Blue). Good Luck on your custom, and have a blast doing it. Don't forget to post pics of your progress. Late', NB4M

Well here it is: 1/60 = 4 1/72 = 2 1/48 = 1 (Super 1J), thanks honey!!! Others: 1/55 = 36 1/100 = 8 JM = 1 1/55 = Toynami Roy 1S Much more to come....

Looks good., though fof some reason or another it kind of seems as if it could be the cousin of "Galaxy Defender." Excellent custom, I trully admire your very original work.

Nice job!!!

Nice shirt. I like the colors used. The font could be that of the Taka Box. Also you could place the female drawing (on the inner leg of the suit) on the right arm. Are these going to be available after the Con?

That is pretty ingenious. If this were made a few years ago and lot less expensive I would have gotten it for my father.

Hey Bobe-Patt, If that's the type of lovin' you want you can have it!!! ***Founds youz a girlfren with pirty liiips, eh-hyuk. Eh-hyuk.

Very serious, and I will start a thread when I receive it and begin construction. Thanks, Alex

Chris, Thanks, your making my dreams reality. Alex

Aren't headaches and B...J...s the same?

Skippy438, You have chosen a very cool thread to start, Kudos. Well, last year my wife bought me my first 1/48 (1J Hikaru with Super Packs), and throughout the rest of the year she has purchased about 20 more valks (of various scales). This year she has already set aside a fund to purchase for me as a gift, on my B-day: - 1/48 GBP - 1/100 Koenig Monster - 1/48 Roy (third edition) - 1/48 Strike Pack (for Roy) - and who knows what other things she (yes, she) has in mind. My wife is my everything. I love her whole-heartedly, and I appreciate everything she does for me. I can never say I could ever be whole with out her.

I thought it was Bobe-Patt. J/K
