My Yamato Low-vis Custom

[valkyrie312]

OK, so I didn't actually customize the Low Vis, but I did match up some Strike Parts for it! Let me know what you think. This was my first attempt at weathering anything and I did it by hand with a charcoal pencil and lots of time. It turned out OK for the 1st try, I think.

Here are some Gerwalk pics (since they were requested). Fighter pics have been added towards the bottom of the page.

Thanks for the feedback and compliments!

Nice. For charcoal pencil work, they look very nice. The only thing I would do is take a darker grey paint and darken the panel lines to amtch the valk itself. Otherwise, it's a good simple match.

Very nice work, VALKYRIE312! Did you use krylon on these FP's by any chance? Just curious .

[buddhafabio]

it looks great but it needs more weathering the fp look too new still like they only been on valk for a flight or 2

I agree 100%, looks damn good though for a first timer!

Improve on your weathering and you'll be set!

[Guppy]

makes a great match!

if you try a light dry brushing with black paint around the edges such as the holes where the engine nacelles stick through that would look good I reckon. Just do a Google on 'dry brushing' for tips on how to do it well.

[buddhafabio]

i was also thinking silver flecks here and there to indicate space debris hitting them. or trying to match the smudges of the valk.

Where is the pic?

[Fortress_Maximus]

I like it. Any chance of seeing it in plane mode?

[1 VF-1 2NV]

NIce. Like FM has said, I'd like to see all 3 modes.

[1994cobra]

That looks sweet. Nice work.

[valkyrie312]

Here are some fighter mode pics. (I couldn't get them all in the original post.)

For a first time customt that looks pretty damn hot. Nice color choice on the fast packs.

[Mechafan]

You did a very good job.

[jardann]

Lookin' good!

I have to agree with everyone else, it's a good job. I really like the color of the fast packs. Mind letting us know what you used?

The charcoal pencil weathering looks different and I like it too. I think a nice wash with a dark grey(almost black) would really bring out the panel lines and finish this baby off!

[rnurmin]

Great job

Thanks for the compliment. I used Testors "Navy Agressor Grey" for the FP color. Now I just need to learn how to do a "wash." If anyone can give me instructions, I would very much appreciate it.

[UN Spacy]

THAT is SEXAY.

[Witchblade]

Very nicely done! Those colors are a great match.

[Toonz]

where's that gunpod in the fighter mode?

oh......pretty beautiful........

[valkyrie312]

The gunpod is not on there (cause I didn't want to scratch the paint). I didn't forget it!

Looks good. I think it would be good if you gave it a bit of a dirtier, weathered, "star wars OT" look to it though like it has been through some fights.

nice, very nice. Dirty up the insides of the f/p boosters a little though...
