Draykov Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 (edited) Don't know if anyone posted this yet, but here:http://f11.aaacafe.ne.jp/~gazouup/vf-1.html Enjoy. Cool! The Max/Milia 1J schemes seem strange on the 1A (and that blue one is a bit too metallic for my tastes), but I love the VF-1 in all flavors, real or imagined. Now I really want a CF in 1/48.

EXO Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 (edited) [NEO]whoah![/NEO] At first I thought they were 1/60s... nice... I could do without the metallic Max 1A (1J TV scheme) He's using Bandai parts for his GBP... nice though Edited October 30, 2003 by >EXO< Quote
Montarvillois Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Forget his low viz, Look at this WHOAAAA !!!! Quote
Draykov Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Forget his low viz,Look at this WHOAAAA !!!! Uh, huh. It looks like a can of Maxwell House. Quote
mechatek Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Thanks for posting that link, imode. It's good to see 1/48 customs from time to time. Quote
kidkorrupt Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 very nice repaints. and i agree, don't like that metallic max the best thing on his page is his new 1/48 1J head...it is DAMN NICE Quote
EXO Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 (edited) Uh, huh. It looks like a can of Maxwell House. Awww, c'mon... it may not be a fetching paintstyle but I have yet to see a 1/48 custom from us lazy f*cks at MW... or did I miss something? This guy has four(!) customs and is working on a GBP!!! mmm... coffee... Edited October 30, 2003 by >EXO< Quote
rocco_77 Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 I would like to see a little more of that CF there... The color looks really good on the 1/48. Not a fan of the metallic colors, but the repaints look like some really nice work. Quote
Uxi Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 (edited) Well he's probably starting with Hikaru -1A or Max -1A's and paying alot less than we are. Even the older 1/48s aren't exactly affordable for customization at import pricing... And I definately see a CF there. Looks pretty good, but not as good as the Low-Viz. Interesting that he did the MPC thing with the red tipped missiles... And a CF VF-1J, too. Nice. Don't like the metallic Max 1A. Not only is it too metalic, but it's the wrong shade... more turquoise than blue, especially under bright light, IMO. The Milia is better... I love this shot: Did you check out his Legioss? Looks damned good and in scale! Hope this doesn't get anyone here sick: Edited October 30, 2003 by Uxi Quote

The color looks really good on the 1/48.Not a fan of the metallic colors, but the repaints look like some really nice work. Agreed, that CF is just the right shade of tan.

I don't mean to insult the guy's work. Obviously he thought it was cool otherwise he wouldn't have done it. More power to him. After all, that is what customizing is all about: making what you want because it hasn't been made. I just really don't like the "candy apple blue" effect. Edited October 30, 2003 by Draykov Quote
EXO Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 can you guys see the skull underneath the blue heatshield??? I'm not knockin' it... just noticed... Quote
Draykov Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 (edited) can you guys see the skull underneath the blue heatshield??? I'm not knockin' it... just noticed... He also left a little bit of the DYRL side stripe on the noses of that CF and Max/Milia...not to nitpick. Seeing a CF in 1/48 makes me want to run out and buy one (if there was one to buy, that is).

Deadzone Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Tough crowd... Even though the metallic doesn't look as good as the regular blue on the Max, you guys still have to admit he did a really good job on all of his 1/48. Those things look like they came directly from the factory which is hard to do. I am kind of curious why he put a VF-1A head on the Max while using the VF-1J color scheme, but it works. I hope he does more in the future. Quote
EXO Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 I'm thinking he was still working on sculpting or recasting the 1J heads. He has 2 and they don't look similar so maybe he sculpts each one. I may not agree with metallic, but his work is exceptional! Quote
mister_e Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 (edited) Well, there's more than a few errors in addition to the ones already mentioned on the Max & Milia schemes: 1.) The shoulder's should be white with a red "arrow" 2.) The middle (bicep area) should be blue/red 3.) The stripe that goes around the leg, just above the landing gear doors, should be red on the Max 4.) The circle on the back of Max's backpack should be yellow 5.) They should have the flying kite symbol on the left wing Looks like maybe he was just going off of memory. Or maybe he just did them this way because he liked them better this way, which is the cool part about doing customs....you get to make it the way you want it. BUT....they still look very nice. It must take some pretty big cajones to take paint to a beautiful minty Yamato 1/48. I know I'd never have the nerve to do it. Plus, even with the descrepancies, the quality looks top notch. His skill far surpasses mine (which is not too hard to do since I have no skill, but that's another post ). Edit: grammar Edited October 30, 2003 by mister_e Quote
Draykov Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 .1) The shoulder's should be white with a red "arrow"2.) The middle (bicep area) should be blue/red 3.)

Skull 001 Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Since it seem Yamato will never release TV Max 1A and since Halloween is almost over I can devote my time to making my own. Quote
Terrance Wong Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 I suppose he took some artistic license with the M&Ms, but I think they look great. Someone has a little too much time and money on his hands Quote
memphis Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 He should rock the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Aegis! Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Wow , those are quite simply the most awesome (and only) 1/48 customs I´ve ever seen I don´t know about you guys but my favourite was Roy´s VF-1A , I never thought of such a thing as a 1A Roy custom but it certainly looks awesome to say the least , If only Yamato made something like this <_< Quote
mister_e Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 (edited) Wow , those are quite simply the most awesome (and only) 1/48 customs I´ve ever seen You haven't seen this one? It was posted by >EXO< in the Toy Customization board. Link to topic Edited October 31, 2003 by mister_e Quote

Guppy Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 good god! How picky are some of you guys? I think you're all just jealous. I have to be the minority vote, but I love the metallic blue max. Whenever I See something new/different I really notice it! And the GBP.. wow. Quote
indigofx28 Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 the guy beat me to it. But he's in japan so he could get at any time some extra's VF-1 without any waiting but, imagine a fully finished custom gbp-1s??? hymmm......... a little customizing ...... photoshop Quote
Hurin Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Wow , those are quite simply the most awesome (and only) 1/48 customs I´ve ever seen I don´t know about you guys but my favourite was Roy´s VF-1A , I never thought of such a thing as a 1A Roy custom but it certainly looks awesome to say the least , If only Yamato made something like this I'm not sure, but I don't think unscrewing the head from a Hikaru 1A and screwing it back on a Roy 1S body counts as a "custom." If you look at that pic, it doesn't even look like the arrow on the head has been repainted. I think he just did this briefly to goof off. Then again, the panel lines are sweet! H Quote
