Solscud007 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 oooh, just found these... some shots with the missile panels closed. I remember this. funny story, after we both lost out of our local Socal poker game, I decided to take pics of the TH. This was pure kitchen table lighting and a poster sized piece of black paper. I accidentally dropped one of the shoulder armors while handling it. opps. Quote

g3173 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 It's so sweet to see the Thunder Hammer finally realized in 1/48 scale! I was working on one with Kurt and Devin a few years back but never got around to actually finalizing the build! I'm glad to see that someone actually pulled off this amazing custom!!! Great job guys.... so how do I get one... Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 You guys can still make one for the upcoming 1/60 Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 No kidding. I need to watch the spending. The future misses will kill me. If you buy enough THs, no need to worry, they've got your back. Quote

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) So what are those grenades on the side mounts, have you given them a name yet and damage capability? Be more potent than the GBP-1S grenades? The short range payload are larger than the GBP-1S ones right? Maybe they are medium ranged? high-maneuverability but of course.

g3173 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Can someone post a pic of the original Thunder Hammer. I need to see a side-by-side analysis! Based on what I can recall... you guys freakin nailed it! Someone needs to do a custom VF for this armor! Thanks, Gene Quote

Okay so someone needs to mass produce this! Everyone should own a Thunder Hammer in their collection. I didn't realize the valk in the 1st page was a custom; eyes are getting old. Looking closer at it... that thing is dope! Amazing job guys! so where do you live?? Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Do you have a few valks worth of money to spend on the Thunder hammer 1/48? Quote

g3173 Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 or you should cough up the money and jumped on the bandwagon like everyone else. I thought you guys were only doing one run. Are you guys doing a 2nd run? Quote
hirohawa Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 That hurt. I put al ot of hours into that custom valk. Those Gold visors don't just grow on trees:) Seriously though it is a very subtle warm grey much warmer than the Low Viz I color, but matches the original custom done in japan in 1/72. Can someone post a pic of the original Thunder Hammer. I need to see a side-by-side analysis! Based on what I can recall... you guys freakin nailed it! Someone needs to do a custom VF for this armor!

Hirohawa, Don't be hurt bro! Your custom valk looks awesome and I would love to own a custom Thunder Hammer Set by you. I'm practically blind w/o my glasses now and the day I saw this post I was surfin blind. Had a chance to look at the first page today and your custom is a thing of beauty!!! Like I said you guys nailed this piece and it looks almost identical to the original 1/72 verision. Great Job and I can't wait to get one Quote
EXO Posted June 24, 2008 Author Posted June 24, 2008 We should really get pictures of the valk by itself and in different modes. And I did think that those gold visors grew on trees. They're ok... Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Aeh, you don't own the Valk? Just the armour? Quote

Great Job and I can't wait to get one You should come out to this year's MacrossWorld Con in Long Beach where you can see the ThunderHammer in person!!! It's gonna be an awesome spectacle with everyone else bringing their unfinished TH's with custom yellow tape... hehe Quote
Godzilla Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 If you buy enough THs, no need to worry, they've got your back. Obviously you havent dealt with my future misses when she gets mad. Her threat is to sell every toy of mine... . LOL. She isnt bad as I made her out to be. I love her. She gets me my toys. She still ask me why I get so many of the same thing. For my b-day, she got me a Nora SV-51. If I get a ton of THs, why do I need a 1/60 Tomahawk army? Quote
hirohawa Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I could always remove the visor... muh hoo hah hah... (evil laugh) When I decal the rest of the Valk we should do another photo shoot. We should really get pictures of the valk by itself and in different modes. And I did think that those gold visors grew on trees. They're ok... Quote
