GutsAndCasca Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) Okay, I'm going to post pictures. They look awful - the lighting was bad and they were taken with great haste last night as my wife looked at me like I was a nut. (She's the one who knows how to work her digicam) I was just excited that someone else out there might wanna' take a look at what I made besides me! So here's the pictures. If I can figure out how to upload them. You'll notice the extra red lights I put on the front of the legs - I do that with all my Yamatos. Before I ever bought any Macross toy I once saw a picture of a valk with the lights on the front of the legs, and I always thought it looked cool. So - it's like my lil' trademark now. By the way, having to dremel your valk to get the head to not chip paint when you transform it is unnerving.

jenius Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 you have to post pics, it's a rule when you create a thread about anything that would benefit from pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die, Alien Scum! Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Let's see 'em! Just because they might not have turned out like Kurt's or Jung's stuff doesn't mean they're not worth a look. If I'm brave enough to post pics of my crappy customs, so are you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutsAndCasca Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Nice Job!! Try using additional lighting to help lighten your subjects. 399880[/snapback] I plan on taking totally new pictures, with good lighting and having a knowledge of how to make my wife's cam not take such grainy looking photos. The pictures look like crap unfortunately, but in real life the toys actually look pretty good! (I think. In my opinion. I guess.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) so you finally finished? hard to tell with the lack of light but they look good overall. your 1S CF would look beautiful next to my 1J CF. edit: wow thats big, sorry about that, i don't want to take away from your work. anyone know how the heck to make an image small and clickable?

As for Berserk i've only read about the first three issues but it's shaping up to be pretty good already. I really look forward to putting some time into reading it soon. Thanks.
