Kremmen Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) Awesome set of viper here. Kremmen, I'm really eager to see more of your WIP in a near futur. Good luck with this. Thanks Cain. Big storms here the last couple of nights so I stayed away from the shed, but I got a little done tonight. Hope to finish up the fuselage plug rough shaping tomorrow and post a couple of pics. I love your avatar! Is that the FX model or the Argonauts kit? Or CG? PetarB your MkVII is damned nice too. I'm just in awe of you guys, I can't do a decent small-scale paint job to save my life. Neptunesurvey, your Phalanx is dead sexy. I have the old IP 1/72 IP kits of the others, but must get a Moscato Phalanx some time soon... Edited July 19, 2008 by Kremmen
CAIN MKII Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Thanks Cain. Big storms here the last couple of nights so I stayed away from the shed, but I got a little done tonight. Hope to finish up the fuselage plug rough shaping tomorrow and post a couple of pics. I love your avatar! Is that the FX model or the Argonauts kit? Or CG? My avatar is actually a screen cap from the movie. I just love robocain.
MechTech Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 The vipers look great (though I don't watch the show). The destroids look great all together and in better lighting Neptunesurvey. - MT
HWR MKII Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 This is not a viper but it is the last of the Moscata Destroid line. Enjoy. Your missing one And i STILL have the only Daicon girl Phalanx.
Kremmen Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Ayup, Robocop II is kickarse bit of design! Here's a pic or two of my Viper fuse roughed out in foam. The X-wing is a 1/24 SS job for scale comparison. I need to surface these bits then mould them up, so that's all from me for a while.
PetarB Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Looking good. That heavy viper in the background though... would look even better!
neptunesurvey Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Your missing one And i STILL have the only Daicon girl Phalanx. I know, I know. I should get to that one sometime next year. Here is another one I just finished and for those Stargate fans I hope you enjoy.
captain america Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Here's a little something I was tinkering with a couple years ago; was thinking about dusting it off. Not Macross-related unfortunately.
AcroRay Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Ooh -Wicked! Steam-punk Grandizer! Nice work, Captain!
Fly4victory Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Don't have the B-club parts so this will be all Bandai and scratch parts. Not much too look at yet.

AcroRay Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Built another one of those knockoff 1/170 "Super Space-Time Models" this weekend - the Battroid VF-1S: There's no Jolly Roger on him because there wasn't one included in the stickers. I decided to just leave it as-is, since this is supposed to be part of my Valkyrie knockoff collection anyway. They're so cheap, molded in their base color, and have paper decals, that they make for a couple of hours of guiltless old-school 1980s Macross model building fun! No puttying, sanding or primer-coating - nope. A couple of colors of paint (mostly water-washup types), followed by a quick touch up with grey & black Gundam panel line markers, and a sharp X-acto knife to cut out genuine sticky paper decals - and this is the result! Seriously, since they're the size of a gaming miniature and because they look positively prehistoric compared to modern stuff, there's really only so much you have to do to make them look as nice as they're going to get! I remember trying to build these little b4st4rds "back in the day", and trying to get a decent coat of white over that weird greenish white plastic Arii always cast them in. I even have my old factory module to put them in! Here in vintage 1/170 Armored Factory: VF-1A knockoff kit in the same Factory: A couple of fun hours reliving my childhood with these guys. I've got a fighter & a GERWALK on the way. Edited July 23, 2008 by AcroRay
Fly4victory Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 looking good, what scale is that?? 1/100?? Bandai's 1/100 VF-2SS SAP. Trying to make it so the SAP will be removable. I will put up a how to like the Bandai VF-17 modification last year.
renkenjutsu Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Bandai's 1/100 VF-2SS SAP. Trying to make it so the SAP will be removable. I will put up a how to like the Bandai VF-17 modification last year. That would be super I've been figuring out how to make it removable with my own kit and gave up.
Fly4victory Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 That would be super I've been figuring out how to make it removable with my own kit and gave up. By your command. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=26951 I will dump my updates and photos here.
HWR MKII Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 This is back on my bench after a kitten dismembered it.
CAIN MKII Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Ayup, Robocop II is kickarse bit of design! Yep; Cain kickass. here are a couple of pictures of my Robocop II figure: Here's a little something I was tinkering with a couple years ago; was thinking about dusting it off. Not Macross-related unfortunately. Whoa!!!Cap, this figure is awesome, I love it, I want one!!! Where can I buy it? Geez I'm a grendizer fan since my childhood. My first anime , back in the early 80's. This figure is just soooooo cool.
renkenjutsu Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 By your command. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=26951 I will dump my updates and photos here. Thanks man, you're awesome
Valkyrie addict Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 here's my next little project, started working on it today, it will fun for me, I'll post a step by step in the coming days, I think you guys will like this...
ron5864 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Here is something I am still working on. It is the 1/5000 Macross SDF-1 TV version from a Robotech kit made by IMAI. The Daedalus and Prometheus are not attached. This is more or less the configuration seen sitting on Ataria Island before it was launched. I will add these and more into the photo gallery.
MechTech Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 The SDF looks nice and clean! Great job! I've got to find all the parts for mine and build it, someday. - MT
big F Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 The SDF looks nice and clean! Great job! I've got to find all the parts for mine and build it, someday. - MT There's always that 1/200 scale one to go with Your Daedalus
Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I'm about to begin work on my MG Qubeley, finally. I also need to repair my Aestivalis.
AcroRay Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Here is something I am still working on. It is the 1/5000 Macross SDF-1 TV version from a Robotech kit made by IMAI. VERY nice. The aztec patterning is really excellent!
HWR MKII Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Love the zip ties. Thats actually just fuse wire twisted, cut and painted black. But it sure looks the part dont it.
Valkyrie addict Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Just finished this up. WOW! absolutely amazing, I'm always astonished by your stuff, it seems you're taking a break from tanks lately huh?
big F Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 WOW! absolutely amazing, I'm always astonished by your stuff, it seems you're taking a break from tanks lately huh? Nah I think its quite posible he has made at least one of every tank kit avaiable. There are gonna be shops out there that will refuse to sell him tank kits. "oh no its him again, tell him we are outta stock !!"
AcroRay Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Crosspost from my other thread: Spent a couple of hours this past weekend building another of those knockoff Super Space-Time Models 1/170 kits. The project was the Gerwalk VF-1J! Molded in gray, cut-them-yerself paper stickers, snap-tite construction! Hanging with knockoff Sempai, old-school heroes!
MechTech Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 The loader looks great! I'm trying to figure out what the happy face on the loader's side does . Talk about throwing in "random details" to surfaces. I thought the Star Wars models had some crazy stuff put on them. - MT
cowie165 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 VERY nice. The aztec patterning is really excellent! +1 It must have been a real pain to mask but it looks great Ron.
