vf_1s Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Hi guys: This is something that I did a few years ago, but never got around to take pictures of it. This was done before the there was a 1/48 hikaru Vf-1s, so this one is constructed from the body of a hikaru 1A and wings, head, and tail of a fokker 1S. enjoy! You can also check out my other thread on the build up of SHE VF-4G in the model forum. Vf_1s Quote
big F Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 I really like the way you have laid out the weapons and pannels in the same style as the Macross plus This is animation Special. Great work. Did you get the brass tag specially made ? Quote
Sumdumgai Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 That's pretty cool I couldn't bear to take apart any of my 1/48s though. Quote
kensei Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) This is awesome. I love it! Very good work. Dude, may I ask what is that base made of and also where you got those gold tags done. You make it look like a museum piece that's worth thousands. Edited August 18, 2006 by kensei Quote
Skull-1 Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I like what you have done...but as usual my critical nature comes out... Kawamori really overdid the flaps. There is no need for a double slotted inboard flap on the Valk. Keep it simple like the Hornet. There's enough complexity as it is. That being said... NICE work. Quote
mojacko Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Awesome weathering & paneling !!! nice set of weapons!!! Quote
Gabe Q Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 This is awesome. I love it! Very good work.Dude, may I ask what is that base made of and also where you got those gold tags done. You make it look like a museum piece that's worth thousands. 426020[/snapback] Yeah, where did you get that gold tag done and what's the base made out of? That is a great presentation of your valk. It looks really good. Quote
Scream Man Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 very cool man The flaps actually bug me on the 1/48s, they always flop around when i dotn want em too. So I cant see myself adding a second set. that said, nicely done It looks aeesome heh. its funny how most of the replies to u are asking hoe u did the base Quote
vf_1s Posted August 18, 2006 Author Posted August 18, 2006 Thanks for the complements guys! Yes, I have the gold plate custom made, and the base is made from mdf board, primed, painted black and polished to piano finish. Quote
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I like the fast pack colours you used. Quote
dafunguy Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I am so biting your display method. hahaha. Very nicely done, I was thinking of displaying the fast pack like that, but never got around to it. Quote
Godzilla Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Yeah I am interested in that as well. Those lifts are great to have dioramas. really awesome!May I ask where did you get the hydraulic lifts? 426167[/snapback] Quote
vf_1s Posted August 19, 2006 Author Posted August 19, 2006 They came with a model kit that I have for a tomcat. (F-14A Bounty Hunters by Fujimi) Totally agree with you, they are very useful in setting dioramas! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 I knew I recognized those. Rather fiddly to assemble IMHO. For those wondering, ALL 1/72 Fujimi F-14 kits come with them--the Iranian markings one usually is the cheapest to get, check Ebay. And you get 2 per kit. They're actually engine carts. Quote
