Solscud007 Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) Ok After seeing Devin's gorgeous 1/48 I figure hey I can do that for the Joke Machine. Considering the Rohby Recast doesnt liek paint and Devin and I are making headway on the Jm decals I figure what is next? Oh yeah, easy, a Joke Machine Minmay Guard Custom. This is just a prototype custom. The tread design was plotted in photoshop, printed out and then cut and layed down. However it is not a perfect fit decal. it is jsut a large pattern that I layed down and trimmed to fit the joke machine. Also the decal material im using, Avery Paper, has a tendency to be stiff and ink scratches off easily. So anyway I planned this out so that I can hand off the designs to Devin and have him print these decals for a Joke Machine Minmay Guard Custom Decal Set. As you can see I tested out the eyepiece decal (which will be on the JM Decal sheet) as well as kneecap decals. Here they are grey but will be black on the Jm Decal Sheet. I need to correct the coloring. The dak blue should be more purple. and without further ado the pics. Edited September 30, 2004 by Solscud007 Quote
Solscud007 Posted September 30, 2004 Author Posted September 30, 2004 here is a pic of it with my Strike armour Quote
Solscud007 Posted September 30, 2004 Author Posted September 30, 2004 I knew I shouldn't have told you! haha but yours was different right? plus This was inspired form my recent work with Devin on teh JM decals. I figure I can get a Minmei Guard Decal set going after the first set of JM decals. Quote
connor99 Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 SWEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT!!! Man, that thing looked even better with the STRIKE FP's on! Excellent work SOLSCUD007! Absolutely amazing! Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 you da man Scud!!! Good job man! I thought about this too, but I don't like the idea of messing up any original JM's. I might do this to a recast though. Quote
Toonz Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 wow...can't wait for the final production..... Quote
dr_vandermeer Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 TOO cool! Love the little Minmay on the right leg back! Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Solscud, That JM looks awesome!!! Since you are going with the Joke Machine, instead of using the Minmey from that looks as it would if she we're real , why not try using a style that would IMO best suit this custom. Minmei, Joke Machine Candidate? Just give a tweek. With the way you guys can perform decal surgery, I would not be at all surprised this would most defenitely look good. NB4M Quote

Mechamaniac Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 I am an unabashed JM hater. I can't stand anything cutesy, and SD in nature... But....that looks really cool. It's not gonna convert me to a JM lover or anything, but the decals are sharp!. Quote
Jung Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Cute . Thunder hammer? where's the SD GP1s, ostrich, elint? A few ppl were working on those... Quote
