GunnerX Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Hi all! Here's the completed pics of my 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1J, it's my 1st hase kit, so all comments and critiques are welcome! Hopefully i can post more shots when i get the chance! My (sort of ) step by step was from here for those who are interested... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...t=ST&f=23&t=802 Thanks for looking! Quote
wm cheng Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Wow!! Absolutely fantastic, it looks great! Great work. A tip about the wheels, spray them white first, then paint the black on by hand, it will save you a masking step - but your way looks great too! Come on, lets see some more photos of your fantastic bird!! Try to stop down on the aperature (use a smaller opening or higher F-stop number such as f11, f16 or f22) so we can see all of it in focus Keep up the excellent work GunnerX! Quote

Gabe Q Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 Your model kicks @$$! Great work. Now build a Glaug or Regult for it to fight against. Quote
Jawjaw Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 That rawks! Super clean job and great pics. I would love to see more work from you, gunnerx. Quote
gnollman Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Very purty.... Got any other Macross kits? Love to see you do some more.... Quote
AKD001 Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 wow, that's really nice. I haven't seen the panel line detail on these Hasegaw VF- kits until now. Really crisp and thin (though I heard that that can become a problem on some kits, where they're TOO thin) What kind of wash and shading tech did you use? Quote
GunnerX Posted October 14, 2003 Author Posted October 14, 2003 thanks!!! looks great. desktops on their way with your permission of course. Sure! I look forward to seeing them, thanks! Quote
GunnerX Posted October 14, 2003 Author Posted October 14, 2003 Sebastian, Toonz, GabeQ, Jawjaw, gnollman, Macross_Fanboy, AKD001 -> Thanks! I really appreciate all your comments! Really spurs me on to want to build more! AKD001 -> Here is the sequence of my painting i took from my other thread : The layers go like this : base coat -> white paint -> clear coat -> washes -> clear coat -> decal -> clear coat -> washes -> clear coat! Yes, if too much paint is sprayed on, the panel lines tend to get submerged! Esp. for these hasegawa kits and their superfine lines.. I just used the Hasegawa Tritools saw scriber to scribe out lines which became too recessed! After spraying white over the model, i would usually use a fine nozzle/needle airbrush to trace over the panel lines on the model. i mixed a bit of off-white and sky grey to get a slightly darker shade. You can trace as much/little over the panel lines depending on how weathered you want your plane to look! Once the pre-shading is done, i start on the washes. I use black enamel paints to do the panel lining, dilute till you're satisfied with the dilution ( i usually look at whether there are a lot of paint particles ie. clearer = lighter lines, thicker = dark lines.) Again, all this is personal preference. Dab the diluted paint into the panel line and capillary action takes over, don't worry about it getting messy as you can wipe off the excess with ENAMEL thinner. ( Remember! Enamel thinner k? I use Tamiya X-20A) Quote
GunnerX Posted October 14, 2003 Author Posted October 14, 2003 Hmmmm.... thinking of what to build next, i don't think i want to start on a VF strike or super yet, maybe i'll build my YF-19A! Quote
