do not disturb Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) heres another custom head i did up last night. i'm not sure about the head stripe thing and i gotta finish it up but whatcha think? Edited January 17, 2005 by haterist
promethuem5 Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 I dunno hater.... it looks kinda fruity to me. There is a spot ont eh stripe under the visor that needs cleaning up... and maybe if you painted the brass rod parts of Fucly's antennas a dark grey color it would fit better....
zeo-mare Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) looks ok, what about making the stripe come down only half way and putting a arrow on it pointing down just like the one on the side of its head. edit: actually i am not so sure about this idea, i just did a horrible photshop color of it, by the way pardon my sucky coloring, it looked great in my head but i am not to sure i hope you get the idea i was talking about. Edited January 17, 2005 by zeo-mare
do not disturb Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) points taken. i only did the stripe all the way down because "aaajin" suggested it and i wasn't sure if it would look good? i think its alright but i think a stripe just on the top of the head would look better like i did with the TV 1S max head. i'd try the arrow thing you suggested zeo-mare but painting arrows is kind of a bitch, they never come out right. anyhoo, i was just messin around last night. i'll finish it up a bit and post another pic. added: i thought about doing the stripe off-set to one side to keep with the 1J theme but i think i'll look retarded.

zeo-mare Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) maybe if you used a few peices of masking tape you could tape off the face and leave alittle opening shaped like a arrow, BTW are you hand painting or airbrushing? chris edit: a off center arrow or stripe might look cool, why not take a pic of it unpainted and do what i just did a quick photoshop of it Edited January 17, 2005 by zeo-mare

Godzilla Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Something doesnt look right. Looks wierd to me. Maybe color the brass parts? The strip just looks to wierd to me. Dont get me wrong. You did a good job but IMO, it doesn't do it for me.
do not disturb Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 i know it looks weird, i'm get rid of the stripe on the face part, make the stripe on the top a little wider, and paint the head lasers the correct color. i did this in like 5 minutes, right before i went to bed, whatcha want from a brotha? i'll do it up tonight and post pics when its finished.
do not disturb Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 how about this?: yeah, i'm gonna try that out too tonight when i get home. as i mentioned eariler, i thought about doing the stripe on the side to keep within the 1J theme but i don't want the S and J heads to look too similar. i like to mix it up a bit just to keep things interesting. it does look pretty cool with the stripe on the side though. maybe try painting the little dipple in the top of the head a different color so it stands out a bit more?
promethuem5 Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Wow... I really like how the one whats-his-face did (sorry, I dunno what it says lol) I think that would look very effective... adn for the 'dipple' (not what I read it as at first lol) you could do it a brightish green to go with teh visor...
cambodian tire Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 That's pretty unique, I like it. Whatever stripe pattern you end up using I think it's a great original idea, I'm leaning towards "OOOO"'s idea with the stripe only on top of the head. It's up to you, how about picture of the whole thing?
do not disturb Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) hehe, i like what OOOO(hayao kakizaki, its in japanese is why you can't see it) did and will probably ended up doing that way. now i just need to fix the max head i did and get another head to do the millia. i'll get pics of the max and hikaru up tonight when i get them done....it only take about 5 minutes to paint so it should'nt be too difficult. again, is anyone planning to recast the A and/or J heads?

I thought someone was going to cast VF-1A TV heads. Is that true?
Gabe Q Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 I thought someone was going to cast VF-1A TV heads. Is that true? 1A TV heads would be awesome. I want the TV 1A head...
wolfx Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Slightly OT, but u know a good idea for a VF head? A Skull scheme, like maybe paint teeth on the face plate. The front should be white and leave the rest black. Or just make the whole thing look like a skull. Just a thought.
do not disturb Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 so heres the pic as promised, i'm kind of drunk right now, so forgive me if it looks bad. kids,....don't try this at home.
promethuem5 Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Kind of drunk? Kind of? wow.... Looks good mate.
EXO Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 What about a William Wallace custom? They can take out idols, but they can never take... OUR FREEDOM!!!
mechaninac Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 (edited) Brave-valk. Would something like that wear a kilt and carry a wicked early claymore? Edited January 18, 2005 by mechaninac
do not disturb Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 not to toot my own horn but i must say i did a pretty good job painting rockin the beer goggles last night. while this valk doesn't exist, everyone can thank rohby for the recast, exo for donating the original head, and fulcy for the hollowed out head lasers...thanks dudes.
zeo-mare Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 nice, you need to take close up pics of the red eyed vf-s i would like to see that one up close, i also have the genesic gaogaigar. chris
do not disturb Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 nice, you need to take close up pics of the red eyed vf-s i would like to see that one up close, i also have the genesic gaogaigar.chris i was saving my red visor for the millia S head but it looks pretty cool on the hikaru. he did some customizing here and there as well. you got some close up pics you can post?
Toonz Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 nice.... hmmm.....a VF-1S head on a VF-1J body... what should we call it? VF-1SJ?
Gabe Q Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 what should we call it? We should call it a VF-1S with a VF-1J paint job.
calvin Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) yes a skull paint job on a vf-1j yes.......................... Edited January 19, 2005 by calvin
wolfx Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 yes a skull paint job on a vf-1j yes.......................... That looks kinda dorky. I'm sure we can make it look something more badass like the T-800.
aaajin Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 ahhh...finally managed to transform it...please enjoy..
calvin Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) dorky, hmmm how's this? Edited January 20, 2005 by calvin

I'm sure we can make it look something more badass like the T-800. just throwin this out there.... i think it would be really cool if someone designed a new VF head. maybe get a thread going, make it a contest or something, where people can post their sketches and designs of a newly dopely designed VF head, unofficial but official VF head for MW, kind of how we got a official MW paint scheme. we could have it run for 2 weeks so, then we have poll of some sort on which one is the coolest(and makeable), then ask someone to make a cast of it and sell them here. i'm sure a lot of the dudes here got some cool designs in mind. besides, it'll be fun and it'll bring us all closer together too! anyhow, just its a thought.

cambodian tire Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Hey guys since we're on the modified head thing here's a repaint I did a whileago 'don't know who mighta seen pictures here it is - the sortta dorky VF-1J S thing
zeo-mare Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 i think it looks great do you have any pics from the front?
