Scream Man Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 So heres my 25th Anni with a fresh coat of paint n stickers, and my original YF-19, which I repainted into a camo scheme and horridly screwed up. Still, people asked to see it so.... It rubs the paint horridly to transform, so this will be one of the few times its in Battroid. Quote
Wicked Ace Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I like both of them. BTW, you can really reduce the paint chipping with many coats of Future and a flat coat. Quote
Kicker773 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 NOICE!!! please post a step by step on paiting that 25th anniv. markings on the yf19 =) Quote
Wicked Ace Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) NOICE!!! please post a step by step on paiting that 25th anniv. markings on the yf19 =) In another thread, he stated he used Citidel brand matte black paint to cover the gold writing; a helpful tidbit of info for those wanting to do duplicate this. EDIT: After looking in the other thread, I now realize you already knew this. Edited January 5, 2008 by Wicked Ace Quote
Scream Man Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 yep, citadel black paint over the gold, then just spare stickers i had on different sheets. was going to put the red intake stickers on, but they usually sit lower than the gold stripes on the legs, and i didnt want to paint over those. In the end I just left em off. glad u guys liked it Quote
Mog Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Very nice work on the 25th Anniversary bird!! It looks significantly better all stickered up and without the gold brush scripts. Good job! Quote
misterryno Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Very nice work on the 25th Anniversary bird!! It looks significantly better all stickered up and without the gold brush scripts. Good job! I think they look good there Scream Man. Quote
big F Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I always thought the gold script looked tat, now I know I was right. Quote
miriya Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Yo Kicker773, That was sweet!!! I love that song, was just listening to it last night and it made me think of macross so it was funny for me to see you post this here. Great video. Do you know those girls? I was impressed with their coordination, I mean at least for an amature video. Thanks. Quote

I was thinkin to myself "damn, I wonder how many times they practiced to do that right?" Quote
Kicker773 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 lol dont know those girls.. now back to the topic on hand... did you paint it with a brush? spray can? airbrush? that's y i asked for the step by step for dummies like me Quote
Scream Man Posted January 6, 2008 Author Posted January 6, 2008 i paint with some small brushes. Citadels dry really fast, so i painted all the words off in one go, then left it for half an hour, then applied stickers and it was done. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) hehehe, look like a proper marine like soldier wearing a green helmet that camo 19 does. Nicely done man. The 25th 19 looks awesome in Battroid mode, if only she had a red visor... I have been dodging commenting or even looking at pics of the 19 25th coz i really loved this scheme and was dead set going to get one but that changed when the YF-21 was announced....

Chet Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Wow. That 25th Anniversary YF-19 really does look better without the gold script. If the production toy had looked more like that, I definitely would have bought one. Quote
