Ryuji Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Starting to build a 1/4 scale Minmay kit. - First stage: puttying - fortunatelly this is a good quality casting kit,so I finished this stage easily. - Second stage : pinning - I'm using 2mm brass rod. Quote
cool8or Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Great Ryuji! Put your magic in that kit!! (also remember to finish the Moon Concert Minmay) Quote
Mowe Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Are you going to give her any of your tradmark pokies?? Quote
big F Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Oh the God of Macross figures has spoken... We will sit and listen oh great one. Quote
azrhino Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) I like that sculpt. Minmay looks far less "childlike" and more like a young woman. It also would be a great pose to modify to make the outfit she wore in her concert at the end of DYRL. Anyone know how available this kit is? Oh, and thanks for the build thread Ryuji!

Ryuji Posted July 5, 2006 Author Posted July 5, 2006 Anyone know how available this kit is? 413716[/snapback] She is still in stock on Hobbyfan. http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?c...+-+G-System+kit Quote
Valk009 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 This kit is in my opinion one of the best one made out there with Minamy in her concert costume, although the legs could have been a little more to proportions! Quote
big F Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 This kit is so much more detailed than the Arii 1/6 one I have. The Arii one of this outfit is one of the better detailed ones. How tall is it when assembled ? Great work by the way Quote
Ryuji Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 How tall is it when assembled ? 413839[/snapback] about 40 cm. Quote
Mowe Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I Wonder if there are any surprise final coating like other Minmay from the past Quote
Ryuji Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 Making transparent eyes. I usually use clear resin,but this time I used Wave parts to make eyes lens. Quote
Ryuji Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 Replacing earrings. The original earring was a not clear resin part,so I rebuilded using clear plastic from Gundam kit. Quote
EXO Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 whoah... it's like I blinked than you were finished with the kit.... great work too! Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 415632[/snapback] Wow!! That is simply an incredible paint job. I love how you kept the flesh tone more simple. Not a lot of over-shadowing. Amazing!! Quote
cool8or Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Wow... that kit looks very big... Congratulations, Ryuji! I have other 1/4 Minmay kit, but I don't buid it yet. This is it: Quote
ChaosWarrior Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 She looks good, nice work, as usual. ChaosWarrior Quote
big F Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Awesome !! The main differences (apart from size) between this kit and the Arii 1/6 as far as I can tell is the clear bits. The ruffells round the skirt and sholders IMO they make the kit look far better. The hair sculpt is far better too. I think that when I build mine I`ll make clear ruffles instead. Just out of interest what did you use for skin tone. Quote
Ryuji Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 Just out of interest what did you use for skin tone. 415866[/snapback] I used Gunze (GSI) Mr.color. First, I paint the primer (Mr.SURFACER 1000),then a layer of Mr.WHITE SURFACER 1000 and then a mix of flesh (51), gloss white (1), flat white (62) and gloss clear orange (49). Quote
GutsAndCasca Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Dang Ryuji you're badass. That is SO cool. I don't think my wife'd let me have that one though... Quote
