logos Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 NIIICEEEE! So I'll ask the inevitable question. What did you do to panel line and weather your valks? I've been tempted to use Gundam weather makers on mine but some of the test I did using my Toon. 1/100s didn't turn out so well.

derex3592 Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) I used gundam markers and Pro-Modellers weathering wash Lookin KICK-ASS as usual Rabid!! Great Work... Gonna try to get around to my M&M's soon! p.s. Why did you paint the inside of the thrusters of the FP's red? Is that anime accurate or do you just like it??? Edited December 24, 2009 by derex3592
MacrossJunkie Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Well, I got my VF-1D a couple days ago from HLJ. It's my first 1/60 v2 VF-1. I did some panel lining on it which was a huge pain because they are so fine and shallow that it's hard to actually get stuff to stay in there. I finished applying weathering on it and adding a flat coat which probably wasn't such a hot idea because there are a lot of areas that encounter much friction and cause the coating to scrape off regardless of how careful I was. I also did my best to paint up the faces since the blank faces on Hikaru and Minmay looked disturbing. Edited December 24, 2009 by MacrossJunkie
Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Your VF-1D looks awesome all weathered up!!!

Thank you And as far as the FP thrusters, it was shown that way in the TV series on several occasions as well as in various artwork (the picture of the VF-1J on the main page has red thrusters) and model kits. I only painted the inside of TV fast-pack thrusters as well as the Missile tips. I didn't do it to the DYRL valks a few small screens: Edited December 24, 2009 by Rabidweezil

How about a close-up pic of the faces; Hikaru and Minmei?
derex3592 Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 The 1D looks great! Love the overall "been put through hell" look you came out with!
miriya Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 @ MacrossJunkie Looks totally awesome. What exactly did you do for the weathering? Step by step? Thanks.
MacrossJunkie Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 How about a close-up pic of the faces; Hikaru and Minmei? They're really not much to look at up close. The way they are molded, they look like what you would get if Voldemort had kids. Compare: @ MacrossJunkie Looks totally awesome. What exactly did you do for the weathering? Step by step? Thanks. I used ProModeller dark dirt wash for the VF panels which was a pain to actually get in the panels because the wash has too much surface tension, especially for such fine panel lines which usually caused it to get pulled right back out. Light dirt version for the gunpod. Then I used tamiya weathering kits for the weathering effects. I used rust orange and a tiny bit of oil stain for the orange painted areas and burnt red for the lighter parts. Some use of oil stain color in key places. Gunmetal and silver colors on the gunpod and feet, which don't really show up well in the pics. Sealed it in with Testor's dullcote.

VF-18S Hornet Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 Finally got around to finishing these Where did you get the full size UN. Spacy logos from the ones yamato supplied weren't even full sized?
Rabidweezil Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Where did you get the full size UN. Spacy logos from the ones yamato supplied weren't even full sized? They are from Takatoys sticker sets.

jenius Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I think this was my favorite pic from the updated post I did on the Stealth.
m0n5t3r Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 nice! i love the M&M 1Js on display! although that's a scary way to display Gamlin's 22S... nose might get clipped and then...
VF-18S Hornet Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 After my reorganization I decided to come up with some new poses for my 1/60 1S's before I got my VT-1 which was today. Of course these were weeks ago when I took these getting the new windows in the top floors of the house work prevented me fromposting these sooner.
VF-18S Hornet Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 My VT-1 that arrived today pre-decaled.
macrossnake Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I think this was my favorite pic from the updated post I did on the Stealth. It surely a great pic.

derex3592 Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) Couple of quick pics of my newly panel lined and decaled "Virgin Road" b4 she gets packed up in the box for a while....man, the red and blue color valks are a b*tch do do the panel lines on---also, really wished they would have included a "Just Married" Tail marking like I saw on a Hasagawa "Virgin Road". Would have added so much...... haha--and I totally forgot to detail the front gear....back to work... Edited January 2, 2010 by derex3592
Loop Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Somehow tonight I managed to get 6 valks on one Detolf shelf! A first for me.
