EXO Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Has anyone ordered one with a red visor for their Jetfire conversion? Quote
do not disturb Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Has anyone ordered one with a red visor for their Jetfire conversion? if rohby makes a visor in red, i'll take one of them instead of the green. red would actually be pretty cool as opposed to just the green, variety is good. Quote
aaajin Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 from what Rohby told me, you can either choose a clear visor or the green one. So, you can tint the clear ones with any color which suits your valk aaajin Quote

OtherGuy Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 If you're still taking orders, i'll take 1 please Quote
Hurin Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Oh what the hell, I'll take two if still available. Green (standard) visors please. Any word on what paint to use to get a perfect match to the off-white of the valks themselves? I understand that it's close, but Rohby himself said that some are closer than others. Thanks, H Quote
do not disturb Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 matching paints....trial and error.... Quote
Hurin Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Well, a starting point for non-modelers and complete rookies would be helpful. Brand, color #, flat/semi-gloss/gloss, what type of clear-coat matches best with the look of the rest of the valk. Etc. Did a few searches in the modeling areas. Didn't see anything. H Quote
do not disturb Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 did not know you were an inexperienced painter, i figured you did a custom something or other at one point. i use citadel paints(warhammer/40K) acrylic semi-gloss i believe?and i haven't bother to clear coat the heads since theres not much scratching going on, atleast thats what i did for the LV J head and the citadel paint holds up pretty well. just pick a basic flat or semi gloss white and test it on a part of the valk that isn't visible(like somewhere underneath), just a dab and see if it matches. if its too light, add a shade or two using the teenie tiniest bit of yellow or something of the like. it should be like 10 parts white, and 1/100th part yellow? put it this way, it took me a good half hour to match the LV color and thats alot easier than trying to match anything thats painted white. the only bad paint i know of is testors gloss enamel, its just too thick. as far as i know, theres no such thing a perfect matching white paint, its just impossible to find or doesn't exist. hope that helps Quote
Hurin Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 did not know you were an inexperienced painter, i figured you did a custom something or other at one point. I built a couple models back in high school. But that was more than a decade ago! My airbrush has been MIA for years. So thanks, those tips will helpful if the head doesn't match quite well enough "out of the box." Good luck with the Low-Vis! Post pics when it's done! H Quote
1 VF-1 2NV Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Anyone that is replacing their Hikaru or Max VF-1A heads with one of Rohby's recast replacement 1/48 1S heads to make a Hikaru or Max VF-1S, PM me if you are willing to part with the VF-1A head. Does that make sense? Quote
valkyrietestpilot Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 man,those are super nice dude.please put me down for 1 w/ a blue tinted visor & i'd like a set of the tv hands too. Quote
