Excillon Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Just finished decaling a 1/60 harrison custom Gundam F91. I'm kind of torn between dullcoating, or leaving it gloss. Opinions?

HWR MKII Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 this just came off the bench. 1/72 revell FAUN SLT-50 with eduard PE set.
SchizophrenicMC Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Touche...however, it's Gundam, it's 1/60, so having that completist compulsion means it must be bought and built. And with the amount of posts you have vs. the time you've been a member means apparently you aren't staying off MW all that much! Well, yeah, my method of beating it is more like not having money, so much as staying off MW. This stuff looks pretty damn good, guys. Keep this level of work up and I might jizz in my pants.
Urashiman Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 this just came off the bench. 1/72 revell FAUN SLT-50 with eduard PE set. Cool! I saw one of those things when I was in military service. Looks really good for a revell kit.
destroid Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 this just came off the bench. 1/72 revell FAUN SLT-50 with eduard PE set. Very nice job - great work on the pigments.... Cheers, Jase.
HWR MKII Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 Very nice job - great work on the pigments.... Cheers, Jase. BAH PIGMENTS! Bloody great waste of money. That my friend is my own technique involving wall spackling and tamiya olive drab paint. Add some water and thin how you like. Youd be amazed the effects you can get from just that. Then start adding different paint colors, oil washes and so on. Also my technique has the benefit of being more easily removed and modified once dry. Pigments can be madness if something messes up. despise the things i do.
neptunesurvey Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 this just came off the bench. 1/72 revell FAUN SLT-50 with eduard PE set. Freakin' awesome. What did you use for the dust? Dry brush or pastels?
promethuem5 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) They're not models, but these just came off the workbench... I am loving my airbrush, and trying new things on every figure. Soviet Space Troopers! Edited November 4, 2009 by promethuem5
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Wow, these look great!!! I see cola vending machine in the back right?
mechastorm Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 HWR, that's a beautifully detailed cockpit on the SU-27... it looks so real. Here is another update on my F-91 (the valkyrie on the background is the yammie 60 scale 1A): While applying those damm rub-on decals on the rear right binder I accidentally tore off a really nice strip of paint, oh well Still got to fix that, and start working on the weapons. My custom paint scheme didn't turn out quite the way I envisioned it, but I like it thus far! i did an f91 back in 2002 i guess it was for a model show in orlando. it was part of a winter diarama. i'll upload some pics if i can find them. the quality is a little sucky but you'll get the idea.
MechTech Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 1/60th figures AND the ominous vending machine! That away to make everyone over in Asia jealous - FINALLY! I was wondering when you were going to do that! - MT
505thAirborne Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Since there are few Kits available for the MKII Vipers from the new BSG, I got a few of the old school kits off Ebay cheap and I am putting together a small fleet of them. 1978 Viper with an 03' paint scheme. Sadly I don't know where to get any decals that say Starbuck, Apollo, Kat or Galactica, serial numbers, etc. Any suggestions?? I want to make a GALACTICA as well, but I haven't seen any kits other than the 1978 version. I plan on making at least 3 in this color scheme & one in All black with Blue pin stripping. I'll take some better pics as things progress, Enjoy!!
Mechleader Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Nice Viper!!! As for the NEW BG Viper kits there are only resin ones. BUT fear not!!! Moebius Models has the license for the new BG and it is coming out with a new plastic Viper Mark II... http://www.culttvmanshop.com/Battlestar-Ga...TION_p_592.html Edited November 17, 2009 by Mechleader
505thAirborne Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks Mechleader!! The picture of that new BSG MKII Viper kit looks awesome, I wonder what scale it will be? If they have the licensing, bring on the Galactica!!
cobywan Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Nice Viper!!! As for the NEW BG Viper kits there are only resin ones. BUT fear not!!! Moebius Models has the license for the new BG and it is coming out with a new plastic Viper Mark II... http://www.culttvmanshop.com/Battlestar-Ga...TION_p_592.html I know a guy who got a test pressing of the new kit. He says it's awesome. Of course he didn't give any pictures.
505thAirborne Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 1/32 same scale as the Revell ones. That is frakking awesome!!! So it will match the 2 i have right now!! Can't wait for 2010!!! Its a shame cobywan your friend didn't give you any pics!! On their website it says the MKII is the just the 1st in a line of new BSG model kits!!!
jardann Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Pics have been shared over at Starshipmodeler.com in the forums. Looks awesome! I can't wait to get one.
505thAirborne Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Pics have been shared over at Starshipmodeler.com in the forums. Looks awesome! I can't wait to get one. Same here, best thing is the suggested price, about $30 if I read it correctly.
Mechleader Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) I'll get one!!! But I still have to build my 1/20th Starbuck version! Edited November 19, 2009 by Mechleader
505thAirborne Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 I'll get one!!! But I still have to build my 1/24th Starbuck version! Well as your working on your 1/24th scale Viper, share some pics of it!! Thats a good sized kit.
Mechleader Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Right after my 1/72 Legioss/Tread thats on the bench now.
505thAirborne Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Right after my 1/72 Legioss/Tread thats on the bench now. Will be looking forward to that one as well!!
jardann Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Not Macross, but I've got to clear these off before I can work on some Macross kits! First, the Testors OA-4M Skyhawk kit. The colors are a little off, but I'm happy with the results.
jardann Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Then a Revell Mig 31 Foxhound. This kit is dogged as being terribly inaccurate, but I'm happy with the way it looks. I got good results with some preshading and an oil wash. It looks big and heavy like a Soviet aircraft should!
jardann Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) The previous two kits were just finished last week, but I've still got a few more on the bench. A Hobbycraft SU-22, an Airfix Lightning, a Cooperativa LA-15 and an AMT/Ertl Crusader. Lot's of cold war air power on the bench! Lots of experimentation going on with these kits. I'm getting a lot of practice with the airbrush. (still need much much more ) More pics at My flickr page. Edited November 23, 2009 by jardann
cowie165 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Lookin' great Bill! Did you make the ejection handles on the skyhawk? And how did you do the red outline on the Foxhound cockpit?? The oil wash came up really nicely. Great job mate. Did you make the tarmac in the Foxhound pic or is that a store-bought jobbie? Mark
505thAirborne Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Thats a great looking A-4 jardann! I used to have that years ago, The flight deck its sitting on looks authentic as well. Can't ti your BAC Lightning is done, you don't see that kit to often.
