Thanks everyone for the compliments, I really appreciate it. The finish on the valk is a combination of techniques. First I airbrushed highlights in the center of the panels to break up all of the black. Then drybrushed some white to very lightly bring out any detail. I use Testers acrylic flat which gives it a very soft "frosted" look. As for the decals... I kidnapped Anasazi and have him locked in my basement printing decals. Sorry, I'm not sharing. Seriously, all of the decals are supplied by the customers who were lucky enough to stock up.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

Thanks everyone. Which image do you want for the wallpaper? The decals were printed in those colors by Anazasi. A Fokker 1S was used for the base valk.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks everyone. The stripes were all masked and painted. Not as hard as it looks.

Hey guys. Here is the first 1/60 YF-19 that I have attempted. Let me know what you think. Before you ask me to transform it, these are the only images I took of it. Thanks.

Gee Kicker what could you be refering too??? I know.... but I won't tell.

These are really nice. Thank you for giving me credit on the box for doing the custom work.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Hello everyone. I know it has been a while since I have posted anything new. Here is the first 0S that I have done. I apologize for the fighter mode only images. I had images of it in the other modes but had an issue with my camera so I lost those and I did not want to transform it again, sorry. Anyway let me know what you think. The 0S was pretty easy to custom. If you are doing one be careful of one thing. For some reason everything is labled opposite from left to right. Parts are not labled for the valks left and right, it is opposite. I learned this hard way and had to redo the tail fins. Anyway I think I am going to take a break from custom valks for a while. I have a bunch of my own non-Macross items I want to work on. I will however have a VF-1J and GBP set that I want to do and will probably offer for sale in the near future, stay tuned if you are interested. Thanks for everything!

Hey guys, thanks for the compliments. As for the battle damage they are not really meant to be "through" holes. They are holes that just breach the outer armor to reveal details inside. Since I like to put inside details I am limited on where I can put them to not hamper the transformation.

Devin, sorry to see you go but I certainly understand. Having applied several hundred of your decals on all of the customs I have done I can verify there high quality. In fact they have seemed to get better over the years. It will however put a crimp on me cranking out customs. Every custom I have done has had your decals. I am not sure I would want to do one with stickers, I don't think it would look right. However this may not be a bad thing. It will allow me to get out of the custom rut I have been in and dabble in other things. Thanks again for your support of our hobby.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

Those are Anasazi's excellent decals. The damage is done before painting and decaling. Just apply the decal and get it to conform the best you can. Thanks everyone!

Thanks. It actually looks darker in person. Damn old digital camera.

Hello everyone. I just finished this commissioned VF-1S to represent Focker's damaged valk during his last flight. I know the pilot is not correct, but that is all I had. I also added a bit of gore to the cockpit. Let me know what you think.

I am available for commission work. PM me and let me know exactly what you are looking for. I can email you some of my previous work.

Hello again. Here is the lastest commission valk I just finished. It is a 1D in a tiger stripe paint scheme. This is based on a real F-16 from 1991 I believe. Let me know wht you think. Thanks!

Yeah it is some kind of porcelin / resin of some sort. It was very brittle.
