I'd say that's about as much fire power as you can cram on a single valk.
valkyrie312 Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Nice work, CDNShockwave. I dig the "live-action" pic!
CdnShockwave Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) Alright, another two. The base image (the valk in the pic) is actually a pic I snagged from one of the custom pages here. I can't remember whose it was, so I apologize for not giving credit. But all I wanted was a pic of a low viz. Please don't hate me too much. Edited March 13, 2006 by CdnShockwave
R_Deckard Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) I just got my 1/48 VF-1J and my 1/48 GBP Armor 2 days ago. Just finished putting on stickers and doing the panel lines this weekend. Does this pose look familiar? GBP SKULL-1 and the VF-1J VF-1J Edited March 14, 2006 by R_Deckard

Black Valkyrie Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) Very nice, especially the first ones. Edited March 13, 2006 by Black Valkyrie
wolfx Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Nice pics. Simple and clean panel lining. Used a wash ?
R_Deckard Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 These are my first 2 Yamatos and my first 2 panel lining jobs. After reading stuff on the forum here I got a lot of good advice. I decided to use a 0.3 mechanical pencil. I did the VF-1S first and made sure I got some nice dark lines and I made sure to outline everything. On the VF-1J I decided to do it a little differently, I just did a very light lining on the panels and left some areas unlined. I really like the slight contrast between the VF-1S and the VF-1J, the VF-1S looks a little older like its had more flight time with the darker lines compared to the light lining if the VF-1J.
ghostryder Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 After reading stuff on the forum here I got a lot of good advice. I decided to use a 0.3 mechanical pencil. 0.3 mechanical pencil -- ghostryder's personal choice for klutzy wannabe modelers with little to no spare time. Your panel job looks better than mine!
Dante74 Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 0.3 mechanical pencil,..I have to get me one of those. Looks vere nice indeed.
R_Deckard Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The 0.3 pencil works really well if you do it right. The trick I used to keep it clean and prevent rubbing smudges everywhere is just using enough to bring out the panel line. On the VF-1J I used it very softly so there was no extra graphite that would have to be rubbed off or smudge later. You can't use too much and you can't get really dark black panel lines with it without smudging, but that's ok because that wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted the panel lines to show all the detail, but not stand out. Also the 0.3 is so precise, since I don't have the money to buy more 1/48s I didn't want to take the chance of anything touching, smudging or even slightly discoloring the white plastic. I really wanted to make sure that the pure plastic color shows through perfectly that's why I didn't use any type of paint or wash. And the fact that it is so easy and took about 2 hours. I paint a lot of miniatures for Warhammer 40K, some of them are quite good and take upwards of 20 hours, but on the Yamatos I didn't want anything to discolor the pure plastic.
Fortress_Maximus Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Great pics and it's amazing you did all that work in such a short amount of time.

Did you use some kind of clear coat to seal the seam lines?
mojacko Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) hmmmm....mechanical pencils??? wonder if it needs top coat for it??? Edited March 14, 2006 by mojacko
ghostryder Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) hmmmm....mechanical pencils??? wonder if it needs top coat for it??? 379977[/snapback] I haven't had any problems with smudging using a 0.3mm pencil, and I play with my valks. You can lessen the chance of smudging by using a harder lead (ie 2H vs HB), and keeping a sharp point. The panels lines on 1/48s are deep enough so running your fingers over it won't affect the pencil lead. Here's some leaded and oft-transformed valks: Edited March 14, 2006 by ghostryder
R_Deckard Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I handle mine all the time as well. As long as you don't use too much graphite it won't smudge unless water or something gets down into the seem. The moisture from your hands is not enough to seep down into the seems causing it to smudge as long as you don't use too much graphite. Also the seems are deep enough that the graphite won't easily come out as ghostryder said. The only negative I have found with the 0.3 pencil is that you can't really make extremely dark panel lines without the risk of the graphite getting everywhere, but for subtle panel lines it is very safe.
wolfx Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Cool! Thanks for the tip. I only had my VF-1S roy done with a gundam marker and it was quite a harrowing experience. Apply gundam marker. Rub with rubber. And repeat. And there are some problem areas where the panel lines are shallow like the VF-1S laser antennae and its neck area, where the pen keeps getting off the line and you can't rub it and leave the panelled lines there either.
Mechafan Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I kinda like the light panel lines. I might have to try that.
CdnShockwave Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Alright, two fresh ones. These aren't my valks, they're edited pix of the VF-1S Enigma Super/Strike Custom by Majestic. I snagged the pic without permission, but I'm giving the guy credit, so cut me some slack. I just wanted to make something cool for the eyes UN Spacy recruiting poster: My attempt at adding missiles:
