diabloM Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 this is brilliant~! can we have a close up view of your masterpiece? thanks... Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 20, 2008 Author Posted August 20, 2008 oh...thanks guys close up pics will be coming soon, i had a little accident with the paint and had to repaint a few parts *ugggggggggg* and as usual having a lot of issues with chipping and doing a lot of clear coating to try and prevent this, but I think it's coming about really beautiful, waiting for the last clear coat to cure so I can panel line and decal, also working on the gunpod...

EXO Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 so you painted the ball joints also? How is that looking? And what about your VF-1 revoltech? Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 yeah, I painted the ball joints, the paint actually adhered to it much better than the resin, haha! and it's not chipping unlike the rest of the model the vf-1s roy got replaced already, bought a replacement that came along with my 1/60 v2.0 anyway, this model will definately be a prototype, I've had a hell of a hard time working with it's flaws, I wanted to make the wings to able to extend but the swing hole kept breaking cause it was just way too thin and everytime I had to reattach I had to break open the back and I'm sick of it, gonna try something else to try and keep it like that but if not, I'll just glue the damn thing, no real need to had the wings extend anyway, will post some pics later tonight, specially of the gunpod, I need your guys opinion on how it's coming up cause I'm not really sure about it...

EXO Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 thanks for the reply... I'm working on my own project with the ball joints. What kind of primer did you use on the ball joint and resin? I can't wait for the pictures either... Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) I use regular spray paint primer, I find it adheres very well to all the kits I've build, but the joints were very easy to paint and no chipping, I thought it was going to be problem but came out without a hitch, only thing is that I masked the part that goes into the socket cause the extra layer of primer/paint will make the joint hard to move on the socket; you also need to move the joint to paint it its complete circumferenceanyway, I'm having a hard time painting the gunpod, not sure what color to go for, the gunpod is a very pale kind of grayish green and I can't get it right, and I don't like Yamato's toyish green for the GNU, anyway, I was experimenting and ended up just using a dark green wash on the gunpod just for kicks and it actually looks kinda coolwell, enough blah blah, pics as promised, the gunpod actually looks a light green all around but the flash hides itstill need to paint some details on the gunpod, fix the tip of the barrel (look close, it's broken, stupid putty), but what do you guys think, does it look ok or should I experiment more trying to get the color right? and I still haven't panel line and decal the valk, hehehehe...so...>EXO< what project are you on?? if it's as cool as your Thunder Hummer, God helps us all... thanks for you lookingEDIT: syntaxes owns me Edited December 29, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
miriya Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 DAMN!!!! That is one Fly ass motherjumper! Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 sigh, pure badass. Hurry up Revoltech! Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) thanks guys, since you guys are enjoying this so much, another pic with slighty better lighting...the gunpod is made out of putty, but I'm particularly proud of the bayonet knife that I carved out of spare hasegawa sprue plastic, hehehe, ended up quite sharp too and I took some creative artistry making it sawlikeso, what do you guys think, is the color alright or should I keep experimenting, I was thinking maybe I should paint a very light gray and apply the green wash over it to try and achieve the color I'm looking for, but lazyness is striking me and thinking about leaving it like this and continue with the valkoh well, here's the pic, static pose, want you to get a good look at the gunpod Edited December 29, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Damn that looks awesome. Do you have anything planned in the future? Maybe a MKII Monster with Revy joints? Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) The gunpod is excellent. bayonet really looks like it would hurt! I like the colour as is, i am not sure what the colour your after would look like compared... lighter? I think the dark really suits it. Edited August 22, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 sweet thanks, I guess the gunpod stays as it is... I don't know if you misunderstood me or if I'm misunderstanding's you Ruskii, but the color I was referring was for the gunpod; I absolutely love the medium gray I used for the VF-11 and by hell I'm gonna repaint it... anyway, it's all panel lined now.... PMS (that's Perfect Modeller Syndrome ), hit me and ended up fixing the wing hinge so the wings get to extend, also, the forward canards were being a pain thanks to IHP crappy design and they kept breaking, so I had to add a pin to them, tried to use the pin so the canards could pivot, but they were too thin and just lock them as they are suckers almost done! damn, it's been almost a month with this already...wow oh yeah, NB4M...Monster with revy joint, that would kick so much ass... hahaha but I already have this little fellow waiting to get jointed after I finish with this kit and take a long break Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) ohhh, sorry, lol yeah i was refferring to the Valk colour not the gunpod. Aieh, stupid Ruskii. But yeah like the colour all round! Agree with NMB4M and you, have a break, and get doin that Monster! Edited August 22, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) hehe, thanks guys errr...I think the monster will prove too much for my abilities, I don't own any monster model and those things are expensive, maybe in the future when I get a better income and can buy one of those on evilbay to butcher itok final updateremember the broken wing hinge, here it isnow, I decided to fix it... here it is, I modded a little plastic wheel I had leftover, drilled a bigger hole, fit, glued, putty and sandnow, my Wave 1/100 VF-11 I've used for reference came with 2 decal sheets, I don't know if it was a mistake or it comes like that cause you need 3 gray kites and one sheet only comes with two, I originally wanted to use this decals but noticed they were yellowed, so my went coo coo and decided to paint the eagle on the canopy shieldbeforeI hate masking, but what the hellow yeah...oh yes, the VF-11 is notoriously low on panel lines, I felt it looked a little bland, I was checking my Hasegawa VF-0S reactive armor and noticed it has a bunch of rivets and gives it a much mechanical look so I decided to do it to my vf-11, you can see some of ithmmm....looks like he's a little shy...hiding on the shield...silly valk...ok, Valk is done, assembling, waiting for everything to settle in since I had to remod some little parts and repaint, will post finish pics later tonightthanks Edited December 29, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) ok, kit is donejust a little pic of all that got jointedFINISHED THREAD Edited December 29, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Dunno why your saying your posing sucks coz they don't! Love that last pic! Really want my yamato 1/60 version now. Revoltech i hope your smart and get it on yer agenda! Quote
Fly4victory Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah, your poses don't suck. For you want to see the big suck look at Yamato's GN-U compared to your creation. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 oh, thanks thanks! I'm flattered but to be honest I steal a few poses from the original revoltech VF-1 promo pics Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) Please tell me you are doing a Revy VF-2SS frankenstein judging from your ava Fly4victory.... Edited September 6, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
505thAirborne Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Valkyrie Addict, your a modeling genius to have pulled that off!! Your VF-11 looks amazing, Poses are great too!!! Give yourself some over due credit!!! Quote
Fly4victory Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Please tell me you are doing a Revy VF-2SS frankenstein judging from your ava Fly4victory.... Sorry RF, That VF-2SS is not a Revy, it just has the standard joints. Current project is Bandai's 1/144 YMT-05. The Revy master is clearly Valk Addict... but I am thinking of a Battroid only with the left over parts. Quote
