Rohby Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) Hey All, finally got around to casting these 1/48 1S heads. I've managed to cast them in all it's pieces thanks to EXO for dismantling his original x 2. I've also managed to match the green visor. Very hard to tell the difference from the original green. Anyhow here's some pics. I plan to only cast one batch of these so quantities per person may be limited. Also, the two halves will need to be glued back together once assembled. No painting is necessary, I've tried my best to match the original color. We'll except for the antennas which shouldn't be too hard to paint. Some will be perfectly matched and others will be one or two shades off but nothing drastic. I'll also inlclude the screws and the pin as well. Edited August 25, 2004 by Rohby Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 I might be interested in ONE.....any chance you could dab some black paint on those head lasers? Quote
jardann Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 I'm definitely interested in one, maybe two depending on price. LMK P.S. Anymore TV style 1/48 hands still available? Quote

eugimon Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 oooh, me too... finally I can have my max VF-1s... muahahahaha muahahahaha ha ha muahaha Quote
EXO Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Wow... looks like an original, except for the white lasers. The visors can be tinted for customs also, or left clear to be painted with translucent paint by the customizer. Finally I can put the heads back on... Quote
BlueMax Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Heh...... I can have my low viz 1S now...! WOOt!! Quote
EXO Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Great recasts! If the head lasers come cast in black resin, put me down for a set. I can't paint, but I sure can glue arent the laser turrets white and just the barrels are black/gunmetal? If it's a traditional Yamato look you're after, it'be easier just to paint the cannons the darker color. Quote
