THOR Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 can you squeeze in a pic, HWR, of your hover truck along side the 61 and maybe another modern MBT for size comparisons...pretty please with sugar on top. THOR
MechTech Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 The armor looks great HWR. 505 - That's cool. The majority of what I have are medium caliber, aircraft rounds. The plan someday is to use them in stands with the aircraft. Anybody got a 55mm GU-11 round? Cowie - That's funny man. Was he saving them to uproot a tree trunk or something? Your pop could've probably just unscrewed the top, poured out the charge and set off the top primer to clear them. It would have been funny to see how everyone reacted. There was this one guy who did some digging and found an old mortar round. He brought it into the facility workshop and was buffing it clean. Somebody asked him where he got it and he said, "I just dug it up." Everybody freaked out and called in the local EOD. We all know that buffing metal makes it hot; right!? Not cool. - MT
Lt. Z0mBe Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Another update today on my Hasegawa VF-22. Decals are completed and another Future coating is on to prep for some washes or glazes as needed. Vertical Stabilizers and undercarriage doors From below From above Also, masking and color coating is finished on my simple display base. Lots of tape A night to cure and then it's on to those washes and glazes. Comments and criticisms welcomed, as always. Kenny

Kenny Hey Kenny, thats starting to look really good, wasn't to sure about your color scheme at very 1st, but its really coming together now!!! Are you doing it landing gear up or down for this one? Keep the pics coming!!! Edited March 4, 2009 by 505thAirborne
HWR MKII Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Thats some great stuff Kenny. Cant wait to see it finished an on its legs. Since a few people asked heres a shot of the 61 next to a initial production Tiger 1 for a size comparison.
promethuem5 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Wow, that is big. What's the color your used on it? I haven't been able to decide if I want to go the tan route or closer to IDF tank colors when I do a T61.
HWR MKII Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Its an eyeball mixed meduim grey base color then misted with the ground color for a dusty effect. Im trying to give it the same look it had in the MS IGLOO 2 episode it was featured in. This is the second paint option in the kit.
promethuem5 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Finished this guy the same day I got him: HCM 1/144 Walker Galliar
VF-19 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 A small update to my F-22. Work has kept me from the bench... Keep in mind that this panel is not very big. Had to pull out the macro lens to get this close.
Kicker773 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Update on 24 inch Optimus Prime project; I worked on hip areas adding armors on all four sides. Any updates on this gigantor? Really curious on how this is turning out!!! Freakn AWESOME!!!
Maiden Japan Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I'm back !! Update of 24 inch Optimus Prime project; I worked on arms with fully articulated fingers.
big F Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I think this guy deserves a thread of his own. The hands did you make em or are they something one can buy.
Maiden Japan Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I made those fingers from scratch. I used bondo putties and styrene sheets just like I did with rest of the body. I only made one set of finger ( top, medium, and bottom part ) then I made a silicone mold, and casted them in resin. All individual fingers are connected with aluminum wire.
Johvic Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 here's whats keeping me busy I'm trying to make the eyes changeable so that MO will have more that one expression just like the Nendoroid figures.
Maiden Japan Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Thanks for the kind comments. Question to EXO, where in the section do you want me to put this topic separatery?
Ghost Train Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Here is a grainy photograph of my wip RGM-79SC conversion: Not using all the conversion pieces though, I'm going to retain the original 78-2 backpack with dual sabers... the conversion backpack looks bulky and weird. ... and yea, someone please give Optimus Prime its own thread

505thAirborne Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 When time allows I'll get this SDF-1 Finished one day, So far its at this stage. Eventually it will be aged/weathered and panel lined. For now on the mantel she sits.
Kicker773 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 wow is that a model or a toy? looks pretty nice, reminds me of that picture with the SDF1 in the background and a ton load of valks in front of it.
505thAirborne Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Hey Kicker, that is a Revell 1/5000 scale kit. I used alot of spare joints from some old toys to make it more poseable. Still has a ways to go, but it will look amazing when done!!

(I'm assuming MG)
Maiden Japan Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 A small update for 24 inch Optimus Prime; I added an Autobot ensignia on the shoulder.
505thAirborne Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 If I ever want something to be custom made, I'm hiring you for the job!!!
miriya Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 A small update for 24 inch Optimus Prime; I added an Autobot ensignia on the shoulder. That is just insane!
Ghost Train Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Here is an update on my GM Sniper Custom. I did a rough test fit for arms / body / head, so still need to tighten everything into place: This is technically a non-canon beam saber configuration XD. The original SC did not have the single saber tucked in the back, only the inline integrated saber attached on its arm, but I included both. And maiden... that Autobot logo is so well done Edited March 14, 2009 by Ghost Train
MechTech Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Wow, I miss a week and a lot of great building! Looks GREAT everyone! That Optimus is HUGE - on many levels! - MT
Maiden Japan Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks MT and all you guys for comments. The show and the model contest in about two months, and all of your comments give me great motivation. I really appreciated.
RogueTrooper Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Cool looking gundam and yeah the Prime is huge, what about a SDF-1 like that. Almost finshed 1/144 chara works valks.
CAIN MKII Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 You win +100 mecha/game/anime nerd points Kit looks like this, and it's pretty big. Oh boy! I was expecting a ZOE kit like forever: where can I buy it?
007-vf1 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 When time allows I'll get this SDF-1 Finished one day, So far its at this stage. Eventually it will be aged/weathered and panel lined. For now on the mantel she sits. I am wondering if you used Gundam parts to make the arms work?. I am surprised the tinier 1/8000 counterpart has more mobility on the arms that the 1/5000 and why Bandai just wouldn't make that bit more of an effort. Have to love the 80's.. Did you also mod the hip joints on it? I am not touching any of the models again, buy the 1/5000 wave or anything like that; I am waiting for the 1/2000 Yamato to come out and focus on detailing that one instead... it would be the next grail kit or toy for that matter.
CAIN MKII Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 WIP of my repainting of HT AVP queen figure. Damn my camera, it sure doesn't look so blue in real life, it's way darker. Need to fix this next time.
