TSP Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I wish I would have bought this kit in the regular version without the chrom look.
Tuffskull Posted April 13, 2005 Author Posted April 13, 2005 (edited) there are several ways to strip the chrome. if you are from the us you can use this formula cleaner. in europe mr muscle should do the job by the way I finished the building process of my 1/48 Tiger yesterday. I will post some pics when it is painted Edited April 13, 2005 by Tuffskull
FlyingPika Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I wish I would have bought this kit in the regular version without the chrom look. i hav one of those vf-4's watching over my desk too!!
Majestic Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I'm awaiting the MG Gundam Ver. One Year War kit as well as considering another 1/48 re-paint.
Mechwarrior Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Still sanding the crap out of that resin recast cats eye, got about 22 hours in it so far, and trying to get GT40 replica done also (and no its not a model), headers r a bitch when u never done them before.
Skull Leader Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) Right now all I have are a pair of 1/48 Scale Tomcats in the works. (one Revell/Monogram F-14A... gonna be a VF-84 TARPS bird, and the dreaded Fujimi F-14A+ Super Tomcat prototype... I've modded this one extensively). Here's a couple I just finished though... they're my first serious builds in a while, and they're still full of flaws... but oh well. (1) Revell/Monogram 1/48 scale F-14B VF-103 Jolly Rogers line bird (at the time this picture was taken, none of the AOA probes had been added, nor had the TACAN antenna) and a Hasegawa 1/72 scale F-14D VF-213 Black Lions Edited April 14, 2005 by Skull Leader
94medition Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Just finished a MG RX-78Ka in G3 color scheme. It is going to be a while before I would have time to build another model
Pat S Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Haven't touched it in 5 months I actually may start back up soon, it will be really cool when finished.
Commander McBride Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Just got an MG Ball. Built, now gotta break into subassemblies and paint it.
Omega One Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 My first post in about 3 or 4 months, I´ve moved to another country so you can figure...... I´m living in Mendoza, Argentina now. Ok here is the list of my workbench: 1.- Hasegawa 1/72 F-14A 2.- Hasegawa 1/72 F-14B VF-103 "Santas cat" 3.- Fujimi 1/72 F-14A VF-84 first cruise 4.- Hasegawa 1/72 F-15J "302SQ 20th Anniversary" 5.- Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1S Strike Valkyrie ....... lot of work to do yet. Cheers
honneamise Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Here is mine. 2 Voyager Aerowings (scratchbuild, resin cast) on the way to a decent paint job. I´ll keep one and probably sell the other. 1/500 house, commission for an architect, should be ready by end of next week 1/100 Bandai Xabungle Dugger Type. Want to build a diorama for this but I need ages just to finish the robot alone. The kit is from 1983 but the detail level is better than even modern MG Gundams (though building it is kinda fiddly), I wonder what the guys at Bandai have been doing all the time. Upper edge of pic: these are the feet of a MG 1/100 GM Quel, mostly built and desparately awaiting some paint. Not necessary to show the whole guy. Macross: Once I have the Aerowings and the little house out of my way I will begin working on an 1/100 Oberth ship. And I have a Hase VF-1 A Max/TV, almost finished but unpainted. Hope to finish it within the next months.
promethuem5 Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Is that mech kit easy to find? I really want one... looks cute and mechy at the same time.
honneamise Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Well promethuem5, Xabungles are not that hard to find and prices on eBay are pretty low. Bandai have released 12 different types in 1/144 and 10 types in 1/100(same, just bigger, with decals and glass canopies)in this series. I´ve managed to get at least one of each design (though not in both scales) within less than a year and no kit was over 20$, last one I got was TWO kits for 3bucks!!. The Dugger Type is more common in 1/144 because Bandai had reissued this one in 2001 but you can find the bigger one as well. Back in the 80s i didn´t like them but now they are my favorites next to Macross and Orguss designs. Even with their odd shapes they look "real" with nuts and bolts, cockpit details and machine guns. They are much more "Mad Max goes mecha" than Gundam. And I like the fact that all the types are different, even the sizes range from 7cm to 21cm within the 1/100 scale range.
promethuem5 Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Well, Mad Max mechs can be a very good thing.. I'm gonna ahve to look for the 1/100 scale ones now. Thanks for the info!
Mechleader Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Just finished my FM Slave 1!!!! Now onto.... 1/72 Hase Strike 1/72 VF-J Grey color scheme And a Hase Gerwalk...(custom) That and my new baby girl! She needs the most work.
Hikuro Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Hmmmmm last project was a PG Strike, but I still got a Toyota Supra sittin in my closet that I've been meaning to work on since Xmas 04.

tetsujin Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Wing Zero, I'm almost at the point where I can finally prime it and maybe start painting. I scratchbuilt the feathers and the V-fin.
Grayson72 Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) well.. this is what I got right now CRAPPY CAMERA !!!!!!!!!!! can't see anything 6 inches away err... large pic You can update your post with a smaller pic if you click edit.

HWR MKII Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Sweet work tetsujin. I take it you use the legos to make reusable boxes for RTV molds.
tetsujin Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Sweet work tetsujin. I take it you use the legos to make reusable boxes for RTV molds. Thanks. Yeah, I use the legos for mold boxes. And I went through a lot of RTV on this project... The Doro Doro in the background, though, that stuff is the real star of this show.
aaajin Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 here's mine...prolly gonna finish it this summer yay! (hope so... )
Mechleader Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Just finished FM Slave 1. Someone asked for pics..
Mechleader Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 All yellow was painted instead of decals. Only yellow decals are on the wings and the thin strips next to the cockpit.
Mechleader Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) Thats all painted on. No Decals! I'm proud of that!!! My first real paint job like this. Edited May 11, 2005 by Mechleader
