yellowlightman Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Is that swing bar a custom piece, or did you just sand it down? Quote
Rob Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 dude and yet again an amazing custom jason. that hand mod looks very cool also. and yeah i think we should see some more customs hek where are all those armours im selling ?? there must be more customs out there Quote
kidkorrupt Posted September 16, 2003 Author Posted September 16, 2003 Is that swing bar a custom piece, or did you just sand it down? that piece was machined down by fulcy and then plugged and sanded with epoxy putty by me =D Quote
Skull-1 Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 This thing is just too good to let fall off the boards. What an amazing Custom. I had never considered rotating the hands like a Yammie! I have been trying a slider plate for the gap in the arm and that didn't work very well because it's hard to get the hands to come back out. Man.... That sucker is just flat out amazing! I wish you could show us a step-by-step of how you made the pivots for the hands. Quote
kidkorrupt Posted October 8, 2003 Author Posted October 8, 2003 the transformation guide picture was my prototype. you can see there is a gap when the hands are rotated in. its on the bottom. on the one i used for the ostrich the gap has been fully reduced and the entire hand area in the arm is blocked off in fighter. and thanks for the props. you got some nice original stuff yourself =D Quote
Skull-1 Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 What are you using for the notches that the thing swivels around? Quote
Skull-1 Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 *shameless bump* Still one of the finest customs ever. Quote
Skull-1 Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Hey on the Ostrich......... It has been a long time since I last saw DYRL. With the boosters on the Ostrich leaves the vertical tail fins open is that right? Quote
Skull-1 Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 THANKS!! WOW that is a gorgeous box cover. Quote
kidkorrupt Posted January 26, 2006 Author Posted January 26, 2006 hahahahahaha, a kind macrossworld member actually called me to tell me that this super old post ended up getting bumped back up. and it was enough to drag me out from the design school trenches and log in. i almost forgot my pw, lol. hope everybody on here is cool and i should be at the con unless school gets too crazy. hey jas, been a reaaaalllllyyyyyyyyy long time, as soon as i saw your customs i instantly remembered you. thanks a lot for the kind words. the ostrich is still sitting at home chilling in a box still missing poseable hands, lol.

Skull-1 Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Good to see you back here bro!! You are one of the all-time greats. We miss you around here!!!!!!! Quote

bryan_f_davis@yahoo.com Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 All I can say is SNAP. That is a beauty! Quote
Skull-1 Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 It transforms. He has pics of it on his site I think... Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Would love to see more pics if any are available! Quote
big F Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 WelL i was searching for pictures of a 1/55 Super o as I have just recived my Super O parts from Silver Dragon. I came across this wow this is great. This posting will bring this thread back out of its slumber but who cares its excellent work from one of our greatest. Quote
Skull-1 Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I still love that thing. I have some Rolo Super O parts if anyone wants them. Cheap. Quote
rnurmin Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Since this thread has been bumped, where is KidKorrupt these days? Quote
estacado06479 Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 heh, since no answer to Rnurmin's question, and I'd like to know the same, where is Jason these days? Nick? Tony? any ideas? Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Anymore updates? I really love this project and want to see MORE CHUNKY LOVING!!!! Quote
Valkfan Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Good to see you back here bro!! You are one of the all-time greats. We miss you around here!!!!!!! I completely agree with you Skull-1. Kid K was one of the first customizers that got me into the hobby. There's just something special about taking a yellowed 20 year old toy and making it into an amazing work of art like this. Since we're going back maybe we need to dig up some of the great 1/55 customs from Jung and Rosario L. Quote

Since we're going back maybe we need to dig up some of the great 1/55 customs from Jung and Rosario L. Seriously. We should. I actually own a VF-1S Hikaru Strike Valkyrie and a static fighter VF-1D, both customized by Jung Chao. The colors on the VF-1D are really very nice. Quote
agr33 Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 man that is simply amazing! great work! Quote

xstoys Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) Jason is now a Product Design student at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. heh, since no answer to Rnurmin's question, and I'd like to know the same, where is Jason these days? Nick? Tony? any ideas? Edited December 26, 2006 by xstoys Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 So he is probably too busy to respond then? Pity. Quote
Jasonc Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 I'm still present, and I still have been customizing. My last product of completion (Kinda) was a 1/55 Elintseeker. I now have it displayed on a chrome Valkyrie launch arm, and it looks sweet. I'll try to get pics soon if I can find my camera charger. As for my Ostrich that I had done about a year ago, I sold it to some guy in New York who had the nerve to complain about the paint job. but nevertheless, I'm gonna start work on another one hopefully in the next couple months. for now, I'm making swivel feet to go with the swivel thighs on my modded and customized Elintseeker. BTW, this Ostrich is very cool, and I always like looking at it when I can in person. Always a great job. Quote

big F Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 for now, I'm making swivel feet to go with the swivel thighs on my modded and customized Elintseeker. Tell us more. Quote
Jasonc Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I'll definitely post up pics this weekend. My room mate lost my camera plug, so I have no way of taking pics except by a lousy camera phone. but I'll document the work done on the mods. But they should be posable like the 1/60 and 1/48 scale Yamatos when they are done. I cut a lot of sheet metal for the job, and it's all coming around now. Look for it in another thread, I don't wanna hijack this one. BTW, Kid has a nice portfolio thread up with his customs. Quote
