Gatsu Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Hi, this my first custom, a vf-1j max customized from a white-hikaru one; only battroid pictures for now i'm waiting clear coat become harder then possible Quote
mister_e Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Looks really good. I like. It's starting to look like this is the only way to actually get a Max 1J these days without having to pay $400.00 on eBay Quote
rotorhead Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 that's quite possibly the nicest max i've ever seen, and the paint job absolutely rocks! great work on the panel lining too. i can't wait to see if you do a matching milia. Quote
Gatsu Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Did you castrate it? yes, no penis for now.. Quote
Fly4victory Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 That looks great for a first time. People save your money and make one of those. So, Are you going to make the armor? Quote
Eternal_D Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 looks pretty darn good, i like how you did the shading for the heat shield and the feet. like a solid line on one side and gradually lighter to one side... Quote
Gatsu Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 I tried to make it similar to jung's customs that i like very much; and, no i do not have super parts ,i'll buy em in the future.. Quote
Skull-1 Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I love Max jets of all kinds, esp. the J. That thing looks like an anime painting or something. Very cool look. Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 If you keep producing good work like that you might have some orders coming your way for customs.. not sure if jung or anyone else does them anymore. I'd be the first one in line if you can be consistent with those jobs if you ever decide to sell your services =) Quote
Mog Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Very nice weathering effects too. Quite impressive, especially considering this is your first custom. Quote
Gatsu Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 Thanks, guys ; i had to oilwash the hands and just wait a little more to transform it, then i'll take some photos with the right lights of all three modes (i hope graham put em on the custom section..) Meanwhile here are other two photos Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Very impressive!!! Great shading, top notch Quote
CdnShockwave Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I look at these pix two or three times a day... that custom is just so damn beautiful I have to post twice! Quote
do not disturb Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 nice work and details. way to take matters into your own hands for a 1J max, awesome! Quote
Gatsu Posted March 5, 2007 Author Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) Hi, here are all pics of the valkyrie, some paint chipped away transforming it but it was inevitable.. Edited March 6, 2007 by Gatsu Quote
mojacko Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 oooooohhhh nice paint job on Max!!! great color selection.....looks d real thing!!! Quote
Dante74 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 That's what a VF-1J Max should look like out of the box. Simply beautiful! Quote
do not disturb Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 i soo want one all those valks and you don't have a 1J max? maybe.... Quote
Warmaker Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I have always loved the Macross TV Valkyrie paint schemes far more than the DYRL? ones. Really, changing the color of 2 small stripes doesn't cut it for me to merit a variant. Anyways... I also like Max & Millia's -1J's, esp. Max's since blue's my favorite color. The blue you used is right. It's medium in darkness and not light (baby blue Max -1J? Yuck! ). Overall, it looks great! The only thing that kind of stood out to me, and I'm probably just picky, is that your panel lining and weathering is quite a bit heavier, darker on the forearms in contrast to other sections of your Valk. So... we all know 1/48 Max / Millia -1J's are quite a bit uncommon and expensive. You gonna do a Millia -1J? That crimson valk is quite sexxxay if you pull it off. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 very nice....a great way to get a 1/48 Max without paying big bucks! keep up the good work dude Quote
Guppy Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Fantastic work man! I too think the panel lining is a bit (and I mean REALLY nit picky when I say a bit) too heavy, but it takes courage to leave a strong panel line and not keep airbrushing more and more coats on it so you can hardly see it (which is my problem, too cowardly) Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 WOW!!! Awesome work, Gatsu! I for one favor the heavy panel lining. Now it just needs a bit of weathing to make it perfect. Quote
Gatsu Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 WOW!!! Awesome work, Gatsu! I for one favor the heavy panel lining. Now it just needs a bit of weathing to make it perfect. enough work for it i just wait to put in it the max pilot Quote
Gatsu Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 Here's the max pilot, thanks to Nightmare! Quote
Gatsu Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 added these pics with pilot and display stand Quote
Necron_99 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Beautiful. I hope my custom turns out as half as good as that did. Quote
Skull-1 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Fantastic work man! I too think the panel lining is a bit (and I mean REALLY nit picky when I say a bit) too heavy, but it takes courage to leave a strong panel line and not keep airbrushing more and more coats on it so you can hardly see it (which is my problem, too cowardly) In this case the overdone panel lining works. It makes the toy look like a painting. A living painting or anime cell. It's a very very cool look. Still, 99% of customs are overdone on the panel lining and less means more.
