edwin3060 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Wow it looks great! And kitbashing a transforming valk is a feat in itself. Hats off to you! I would have liked a lighter paint scheme though, just so I could see all the details and identify the parts you used! Quote
Aurelin Hawk Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 Wow it looks great! And kitbashing a transforming valk is a feat in itself. Hats off to you! I would have liked a lighter paint scheme though, just so I could see all the details and identify the parts you used! It's supposed to be stealth, so that's why i used darker colors. But the base frame was a Gundam zeta plus model. Most of the outer armor is very heavilly kitbashed,; only the joints are still noticeable. Quote
Excillon Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 The build is impressive. I would have chosen a darker grey with maybe black trim for stealth, but it's your build. The only thing I really don't like is it's too glossy. Might I recommend some Matte coat to dull down the finish? Quote
badboy00z Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 It's impressive. Are you planning to refine it? Don't know what your budget is but maybe you can do better sculpts and cast them in resin. Quote
Aurelin Hawk Posted December 15, 2008 Author Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) I'm refining it as I go. So far, there is only the prototype, and I don't have the resources to cast it in resin. As far as the matte coat, I'm trying to find a good one. The last one i used clouded the hull and i had to repaint. Edited December 15, 2008 by Aurelin Hawk Quote
Excillon Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Krylon Matte is pretty good, and readily available at walmart or your local hardware store. I've used it several times with no problems. Quote
mitch Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Of all the sealers I've used so far, nothing gets a better flat finish than Testors Dullcote laquer. Unfortunately, you need to air-brush it on a low psi for best results, and I'm not sure if the laquer would react negatively with what you've used so far, but it will take the shine off of almost anything painted, and from what I understand laquers have the toughest properties. Either way, I'm seriously impressed with what you've done. designing and making a transforming figure requires skill and 4-dimensional thinking that I really respect. Good stuff! Quote
MechTech Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Great job with the concept and engineering. I know it's hard to build a transforming model from scratch, congratulations. - MT Quote
Aurelin Hawk Posted December 15, 2008 Author Posted December 15, 2008 Thanks. I really appreciate the compliments ans support everyone. I was a little nervous putting this one up on here. Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Picture??? I'm sure someone here has it in their Temp Folder. Quote
