1/48 Vf-1s Roy Custom

[Kurt]

Hello everyone. I just finished this commissioned VF-1S to represent Focker's damaged valk during his last flight. I know the pilot is not correct, but that is all I had. I also added a bit of gore to the cockpit. Let me know what you think.

[Hurin]

Darn near perfection. I always love your weathering.

Only one very minor quibble. . . the blood should be much darker. Other than that, beautiful as always!

Thanks. It actually looks darker in person. Damn old digital camera.

[Skull-1]

I tend to consider most weathering way overdone. These are modern fighters not junkyard cars...

That being said.....

This is a very impressive submission. It's almost sobering, to be honest.

Is this supposed to be a TV version or DYRL? Obviously the damage makes me think of TV but the pilot doesn't match Roy's TV colors...

Pretty nice. I wouldn't have had the courage to do that to a 1/48 as much as they cost! LOL

Your work never fails to amaze me!!!

It's time for a certain comission

I know! It's great Kurt. You always produce excellent work.

Just wondering, those sticekrs on the fuselage, how did you do the damage on the stickers (if they are stickers) or did you paint them on and then take a drill bit to it? I thought the stickers would peel and make a mess everywhere!

Those are Anasazi's excellent decals. The damage is done before painting and decaling. Just apply the decal and get it to conform the best you can.

Thanks everyone!

Damn...that is sweet.

I know I've said it about all of them but that looks great. Make sure to get them in the customs section of the site.

I'm going to assume that is what roy's cockpit looked like and that the blood appeared on the seat regardless of if we never saw that in the tv series.

Three holes in his back.

He feels numb in the back assuming it was a scratch and doesn't notice the bleeding.

Goes back to eat at claudia's and feints.

I'd have a hard time letting a custom like this go if I had your skills Kurt. I'd much rather make 'm for my own collection.

Great work!

[Wicked Ace]

It's almost sobering, to be honest.

There's just something wrong about "sobering" used to describe anything associated with Roy.

Anyway, nice work, Kurt -- makes me want pineapple juice and Vodka.

[Jin_Kune_Do]

Kurt....i have always been a fan of your awsome work on the 1/48s. I lreally admire the way you make 1/48s look so real, makes me look at my own and kinda wish i had the cash to get all of my valks get the custom work.

Your interpretation of Roy´s VF-1S is really.....exellent. I love it!

Ditto. fantastic custom

[GutsAndCasca]

Kurt, you should take pictures of your personal collection and post'em so we can see what real perfection is like. And so we can be jealous.

[Sumdumgai]

OMG that rocks!

It hurts to see though... There's holes in that 1/48 T_T lol But that is freaking awesome battle damage and weathering! I like the blood too, although it does appear a bit too bright in the pic, but I trust it's darker in person.

[bigkid24]

Now I see why Hikaru wanted to fly that valk even after Roy died in it. That is one sweet ride! Nice job!

[rnurmin]

Nice

[hirohawa]

Great work!

[big F]

Excellent as always

[rei]

Fantastic work. I want one!

I'm assuming this is homeage to the series not DYRL.

Awesome!

[Godzilla]

Kurt, you never cease to amaze me my friend. Keep the work coming.

[Vermillion21]

Excellento mate.

[Kurt]

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

[nightmareB4macross]

So what other customs do you have down the pipeline???

Inquiring minds want to know.

[Alain]

Nice work! wish I know a person who can customize valks here

[xsjado]

that is absolutely amazing. i stare at your customs for hours. i feel really lucky to own one.

[Black Valkyrie]

Nice, very good work but scary.

[Skullsixx]

Frakkin' gnarly!!! Although I always thought it would been cooler in DYRL if Roy took about 100 Zentraedi with him. Your work is a nice tribute.

[Lonewolf]

That's a great exemple of customizing skills.

[KiriK]

how did i miss seeing this custom??? haha.... i'm glad you didn't have a smashed head.... althought that'd be interestign to see...

[Los]

That is pretty amazing. Nice work!
