This is why I created my own Star Trek "series"; it may never see the light of day past my own artwork and whatnot, but at least I don't need to worry about salads and cats.

Looking REALLY sharp there, xigfrid!

Right? lol

Spider-Man: Homecoming, in theaters July 7, 2017

When "Aunt May" starts getting to the point where you need to check HER ID, you know they're going a bit far... -
UPDATE: using my wife's computer still, as mine is currently down (waiting for a friend to ship a disk so I can clone my drive). So, not much in the way of new artwork or modeling projects per se.Hoping to have it fixed next week. Coming attractions: a storm (attacker) is coming....
-
The length of the support pole looks fine to me. Nice work so far!
-
Well, I can always dream.... Such as buying all 3 and making them into one transforming kit. Someone could make money making a mod kit that included parts for making it transform (but it'd be a pain).

Yo Joe. *Salutes, as taps is played for Mr. Weston*

If ever a series needed a "reboot", it's this one. It's only saving grace would seem to be that if Hot Rod gets Prime killed in this one, it'll be a mercy and we may end up cheering for Roddy!

Good thing they don't build submarines, eh?
-
Thanks! General Zod came out so-so ( I don't like the character anyways )., the six million dollar man...well, he was only a buck at the thrift store. lol

I already do:

Everything is either painted on or markered in, Xigfrid. As for putty: I've tried that when i had putty to use, and it doesn't stick very well! It tends to crumble off, so I just go with what I have. After a few dozen more paint applications (I usually end up doing several coats in acrylic, which holds up better!), the surface should be good. Then I'll go in with a pen and paint to do the panel lines. Thanks for the input; I think you'll be surprised by how this one progresses from here!
-
Well, it still needs some mods (gotta redo part of the top "gun turret" as mickeyg suggested, as well as add/ modify a few other details), but here it is in paints: Not bad for a ball of masking tape and Styrofoam on a couple of pieces of PVC pipe, huh? Stay tuned folks...
-
Actually, after I took that pic, I realized what happened and fixed that! lol Thankfully, the main head is just styrofoam, so it was only a matter of drilling a new hole into the main unit and resetting them. Aside from that, I checked the shape on them and they seem about right. Thanks though mickyg!

Right? I wasn't a fan of the VF-4 at first, but it's been slowly winning me over in ways. I'd hate to see this just go "poof!", you know?
-
Okay... any day now, ILM should be calling you to ask when you can come in to interview with them! Seriously, that is looking just plain sweet. You really brought out the details in the hull, and those engines look fantastic! _____________________________________________________________________________________ UPDATE: Starting to close in on the finish myself , with the Regult. It may be a little oversized versus a 1/72 valkyrie. My scale reference: What I ended up with: VF-1J: "Umm... can I go get my gunpod?" Regult: "Why don't you go get your mommy instead?" VF-1J: "How about you go get slagged, eh?" In any event: even if it is too big, better than to be too small and not seem like a threat. Besides... I have Photoshop. Anyways, here's the latest: Not much more to do with this one; all that remains really is just final burnishing on the tape surface, minor details in tape, sealing with clearcoat and primer, then final painting. Stay tuned...

I was wondering if 1/72 be closer instead, but after measuring my 1/72 battroid, it was like 7 and a half inches tall. Guessing perhaps 1/100 would be closer. Meantime, I found this: http://jbwid.com/scalcalc.htm

Looking quite sharp there, Arbit!!

Well folks... all I can say is this...
-
Thanks Thom! I got some more work done on it tonight:
-
Pretty much been there. Not fun.

If they're still taking pre-orders for real estate, I'll join 'ya!

Mech ala mode.

UPDATE: Right now, it's just in "marker colors" to give me a sense of the placement of the parts and an idea of how it will look when finished. The feet still need some bulking up (they look small) and I still need to refine shapes and add stuff to the font and back of the legs. The "pads" on the feet need to be filled in and hemispherical (working that out now), and I need to start weapons soon. Overall though, I don't think it's too bad for a 1/72 scratchbuild. Stay tuned...
