do not disturb Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Here's a shot of my J head with chrome mylar tape behind the visor that looks sweet dude! QQ, did you just pry the green visor out of the J head or did you have have to take the head apart to get the sticker back there? i think that reflective sticker really helps bring out the green. yeah, its been cold, i can't skate so i've been messin around with the custom heads. its funny cause i had orginally intended to just buy one 1/48 for the sake of having one, then the addiction kicked in.

cambodian tire Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Nice pics Gabe Q !! and haterist I pried the J head apart pushed the peg that held on the green visor from behind. Then clipped off the peg and sanded and polished the back side so there wouldn't be a green circle as seen from the front. Then mylar chrome tape on the back side cut to size with sisscors after it was applied, then crazy glued it all back together. Oh and in case your wondering where the chrome tape came from it's made by "Mono-Kote" it's used to cover radio controlled planes 'comes in many colors incl. chrome. Wow long winded response huh???

kensei Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 (edited) oh you mean like that,, yeah some garage doors are like that too. But with that there's also a drawback. In order for you to slide the one-piece door in your cabinet it will have to be deep enough for it. If the length of you door is 18inches then your cabinet will have to be 18 inches deep in order to fit that door, and also 18inches in height. So like your pic,, looking from the side it'll look like a square. 18inches might be too deep for a display cabinet. I really like that idea though obakesan. But you could design one that is that deep if you want the 1/48s to be in some cool action poses. Particulary fully armoured in Battroid mode with wings spread and missiles attached and gunpod arm stretched out to maximum. But compared to hinged and sliding, it seems the most fragile. Problem would be attaching the glass to the railing, unless it was surrounded by a frame for support. But then again, all glass is pretty fragile no matter how carefully you treat it. Stress cracks near the hinge are apparent every couple of years. I heard 3M has a film that can cover the glass and increase its strength and prevent it from shattering, while at the same time filtering out UV light, another bonus. Anyone ever heard of this stuff? Anyone ever tried perspex? I wouldn't mind using it, but all I've ever seen is scuffed, scratched and opague perspex. But do you think it may be cheaper?

Daysleeper Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The all-white Hikaru: This was my first 1/48, and it was second-hand, with applied stickers. I'm not too happy with them, really, and am planning to strip and redo them one day.. perhaps with water-transfers.. But, it still looks presentable; particularly with the recast 1S-head.

do not disturb Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 you know... if someone took a 1/48 1S and gave it the jetfire paint scheme, i could see it selling for a pretty penny. all you gotta do is put "MPC jetfire" in the title and the TF heads will bite.
