orguss01 Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Sooo how many are there out there now, NB4 and Sol have one as well???? are these what was made from Exo's 1 of ??meaning you guys paid and received already???? Or are these scratch builds? Quote
Beware of Blast Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 EXO, i still want to know........what is that Visor made of? a pics? I'm super curious myself. I have some chromium rainbow foil stickers but they're not quite your color though. Quote
EXO Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 hirohawa customized the valk. I think he said it was mylar. I coulda sworn I answered it already. Orguss, those were made from the original. They were first to reserve spots. Quote

Orguss, those were made from the original. They were first to reserve spots. Are there any pics of the painting and prepping process? It would be nice if Hirohawa could share a bit more insight on his build. Quote

NMB4M Incredible Hanger you have there. The 1D looks right at home next to the TH. The whole paint process was a rush job so I didn't take any pics. The color I used for the valkyrie was Tamiya Primer grey. The Gold Visor was a reflective adhesive gold mylar I got at the art supply store. It works really well - aside some grumbling from one A-hole that shall remain nameless. Quote
EXO Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 it looks OK... nothing to write momma about. Quote
orguss01 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Whud ya mean???? i wrote momma,,,,, emailed her, text her, sent a pic message and even sent smoke signals to her about this build.....the painting on the valk really makes this complete.... it looks OK... nothing to write momma about.

Rush job or not, the valkyrie looks fantastic. I Blame >A-Hole<. Edited April 24, 2008 by nightmareB4macross Quote
EXO Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 Thanks for the info. Rush job or not, the valkyrie looks fantastic. I Blame >A-Hole<. It looks like a bum wearing a new tux... haha... sucka! Quote
hirohawa Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 It looks like a bum wearing a new tux... haha... sucka! You where my inspiration. Quote
EXO Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 You where my inspiration. Not you... you bum... I was talking about NB4M's weathered valk with that spiffy armor on. But I understand I inspire everyone! Quote
Solscud007 Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Finally got a 1/48 to put it on. (not that I dont have any 1/48 but they are all in LA while im in Pitt) Waiting for my Weathered VF-1S to put this guy on. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Nice pics, Nick!!! What really surprises me about the Thunder Hammer, is that there is nothing to repair or clean. It's almost like getting a new toy and not a kit. Quote
KiriK Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 got mine yesterday and slapped it together on my low viz 1... not too bad... eh??? Here it is with clear fastpacks... Quote
KiriK Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Here it is with stealth FPs... And here it is in the center of my Macross collection.. .hehe... Quote
valhary Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 woooow!!!!!! looks better that yamato gbp please i want one Quote
big F Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Late to the party on this one..... All I can say is WOW!!! Yamato have to at least see this. Graham has to show them next time he visits. the work man ship is outstanding. Congratulations to all who did it. A Hasegawa 1/72 version would be cool, come to think of it a Hasegawa 1/72 GBP would rock too. Quote
Beware of Blast Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 So beautiful! Congratz to those receive them. Quote
claude grant Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 SD you lucky dog you !!! Thanks for posting the pics bro. I haven't seen a bad area on any one of the posted pictures yet! Looks just like a professional, mass produced item! I guess the rest of us will just have to eat our hearts out pining over this one...man I sure wish I could make it to MWCon. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Just got mine and can i say HEll YA Baby Looks fantastic!!! Quote
Kicker773 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Hahahaha...lol.. let them be exo.. let them have their moment.. hell i'd probably leave the tape on too .. Quote
KiriK Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 you guys know that the tape comes off right? you don't like the yellow tape accents??? haha... it'll come off when i have the courage to paint and decal it up... which won't probably happen any time soon.... Quote
hirohawa Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 you guys know that the tape comes off right? I thought those where the decals. Quote
EXO Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 here's a picture I didn't post before. I had to crop it and sharpen it and I didn't feel like it before. I have some pics of the prototype I want to post up... I love the pics where it's all primered up. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 wow niiiiice. So have you done up a special colour pilot for the Thunder hammer Valk? DYRL? or TV? Stealth? Have you given the valk a designated name? Just Thunder Hammer VF-1S? Quote
jwinges Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 wow niiiiice. So have you done up a special colour pilot for the Thunder hammer Valk? DYRL? or TV? Stealth? Have you given the valk a designated name? Just Thunder Hammer VF-1S? God I can't believe I missed this post. I'm so late to the ball game...are there any left? PM Sent to exo. Holy Crap! Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 This thead needs more a55kicking Thunder Hammers!!! Quote
zychowax Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 damn and we can't even get one... lucky guy... Quote
Beware of Blast Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Question:- Are you all gonna paint it, or leave the armor be? It's not that white is not nice (actually it's my favorite color) it's just that the monkeys don't suit the new tux. Quote
