Skull-1 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Just another test fit. Thought I would snap a picture of it before I take it apart and correct all the mistakes. Things to be added: poseable thigh, custom "J" head, and clear canopy with enhanced cockpit details. Landing gear need to be painted, still and I need to redo the nose for the third time. I had the perfect alignment for the green and blue but my clear coat ate the paint off. Second time around it came out nice but I don't like the position of the waterline (it's too low) so I will have to redo it once more. Any way...gives you an idea of what is coming.... Quote
Skull-1 Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 Please ignore the panel lining....this is still a work in progress.... The finished result will rock I am hopeful.... Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 Nice paint job, was it airbrushed? Also, love those feet. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 you've been keeping busy with your chunky monkey customs. good job. nice work..... Quote
Skull-1 Posted October 7, 2003 Author Posted October 7, 2003 I forgot to reply on this one... The paint job was done with spray cans. It looks better in person than the photos do. Man, just when I think I have it figured out...........I see something KK has done and wonder how much better my Custom would be if I could only do what he has done! DANG! Have you guys seen KK's Super O? Unreal! Quote
robokochan Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Very Nice Custom. Are you going to do a Camo Motif? Quote
yellowlightman Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Did you base this design off the Alaska Base Valks? Quote
Skull-1 Posted October 8, 2003 Author Posted October 8, 2003 I may do a desert camo bird someday, but someone already beat me to it. This is based solely off of my character from AOD. He has a green flight suit so it fits. I actually invented this scheme around 1987. I've been waiting that long to try and pull it off. I just ran with it. The original did not have the green legs...they were blue all the way. I was afraid you guys would say I had not skill if I didn't trim them green, so that's what I did. Wait until you see it with decals on it. The miniature I have on my desk looks really nice. I hope this one will be even better. Stay tuned. Quote
kam63 Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 nice work it's been a awhile since I've seen some 1/55's customs Quote
