rnurmin Posted September 18, 2003 Posted September 18, 2003 Nice Custom, Mslz22. Too bad the pics in Yahoo Photo Album is so small. Quote
Uxi Posted September 18, 2003 Posted September 18, 2003 Too bad the pics in Yahoo Photo Album is so small. And with a gigantic advertisement right next to it, at that. Great custom. Quote

Myersjessee Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 WOW Mike! You continue to impress!!!! Sweet custom!!!! Quote
ChristopherB Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 (edited) Hello Mike, Great job on the custom! It is about freaking time that Max got a little love. Screw Yamato and their damn Max always gets a VF-1A attitude, but let's give love struck Hikaru a VF-1S first. I like what you did to the backpack thrusters. Not sure if anyone else noticed yet, but your modifications are definitely nice. I like the horizontal slats, and enhanced rear thrusters. The catapult arm on the front landing gear is a good touch, and Devin's decals add a ton of detail. They take forever to put on, but the effort is worth it. Damn, I thought I was well hung for a white guy, but after seeing the size of your valkyrie's gunpod, I'm a little jealous. Will you be completing the rest of the DYRL squadron? Sincerely, Christopher B) Edited September 19, 2003 by ChristopherB Quote
kidkorrupt Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 1/55 is King! great work mike, keep the 1/55s flying offa the assembly line. you can always attach pictures here and just post them directly. they will be bigger than the ones in your album i like your front gear as it resembles the lineart more. what did you do to the back landing gears? are they swapped in from another model or is the metal door on the front of them chopped off? cant see it in the pics.

MicronianDevil Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Awesome custom!!! I love the Max DYRL Valks. Quote
