wickedpr1nce Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 This has been a long time in the making. It has taken me many many months in completing this since the only spare time I have is in between commissions. Instead of doing an orange VF-1D trainer, I decided to go a different route. I'm a fan of the color blue so I went ahead and used John Moscato's kit for this conversion into a Virgin Road valk. I also went with blue lens instead of the normal green. Figured I can try to make something stand out in all of that blueness within the valk. I believe the head scheme isn't supposed to be that way but I really didn't care. I wanted to have a little "trainer" feel to it. Let me know what you all think... good or bad. BTW,,, Just a FYI... this will be going to Evilbay within a week or so. I'd like to give a shout out to Gabe Q for selling me this kit and also to the Captain for such an awesome straight forward VF-1D kit. Can't get any sweeter than this. Quote
Golden Arms Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Cool custom, Too bad you have to sell it. Any Plans on adding Max in Tux and Milia in wedding dress pilot figures? Quote
wickedpr1nce Posted July 5, 2008 Author Posted July 5, 2008 Cool custom, Too bad you have to sell it. Any Plans on adding Max in Tux and Milia in wedding dress pilot figures? I'm thinking about it but I'm not sure if I can fit that Millia in a wedding dress and still make it fit in the cockpit. Guess it doesn't have to be perfect right? Oh yeah... anyone out there want to sell me one of their 1D kits as well as maybe extra 1/48 pilots??? Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 That looks really nice wickedpr1nce. Great job!! Can you post pics of it in GERWALK mode? Quote
dizman Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Nicely done, I never knew there were hearts on the chest peice of the Virgin Road valk . Quote
Fly4victory Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Beautiful work!!!! I love the conversion kit, wish they were still made. I noticed you made the head removable for fighter mode. Quote
MechTech Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 That's cool. I dig the his and hers custom upholstery jobs - MT Quote
Gabe Q Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 That's some very impressive work. It's way better than I could have done. I'm glad to see you put the kit to good use. Did you use a Max 1J as the base valk? If so, how hard was it to color match the blue? I'm really impressed; that is some spectacular work. Quote
Godzilla Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Awesome work. I love it! So when you putting it on ebay? Quote
danth Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Whoa. That is perfect. Too bad the Yamato 1/60 1D will not look this good. Quote
