izzyfcuk Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 great work! man wish i could create something like dat! any chances of it in battroid? Quote
GreatMoose Posted November 19, 2003 Author Posted November 19, 2003 Hope to have battroid pics by Friday, Monday at the latest. Quote
Göönk Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 nice black valk. Landing gear should be metallic/silver paint i think instead of white. Still need to add some weathering It looks good. Quote
the white drew carey Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 nice black valk.Landing gear should be metallic/silver paint i think instead of white. Still need to add some weathering It looks good. IIRC, landing gears, and the inside of the jet intakes, are always painted white to easily locate oil leaks and other problems. Quote
GreatMoose Posted November 19, 2003 Author Posted November 19, 2003 You are correct sir! I AM going to add a little smudge to it, but not too much, as it should be pretty clean. Quote
vf1_soulja Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Lookin' Good... are you gonna paint the head the same color? Quote
Deadzone Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Very nice. I still want to know how you painted the thing. Did you take it apart first, or did you paint the Valk intact. Also, What kind of paint did you use? Great job! Quote
Smut Peddler Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Lookin' great, can't wait to see what it looks like it battroid. I'm just curious about the white head, it just looks outta place in gerwalk and fighter, but it might look better in battroid. Nice work either way. Quote
GreatMoose Posted November 19, 2003 Author Posted November 19, 2003 @ Deadzone: I hand painted (with a BRUSH, I'm old fashioned) the entire valk. I found that it was not necessary to take the whole thing apart, and this way I don't have paint build up on unneeded areas. @smut peddler I was orignally going to leave the head white, but I'm reconsidering that now. I think it'll look pretty sweet black. Check back this weekend to find out! Quote
Deadzone Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Wow! A hand painted valk that came out that smooth. Now I am really impressed. Quote
rocco_77 Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 That looks really cool! I would definitely consider painting the head though... It looks a bit stark in white.... Maybe paint it black with some dark gray accents?? Quote
Sebastian Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 BEAUTIFULL WORK GREATMOOSE!!! I really love that Valk! I cant whait to see the Batt mode. Man... did you REALLY used brush? Amazing. Quote
bricua Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 very nice!! how about painting the pilot black as well?? just a thought... Quote
drifand Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Mmm! It looks great now that you've painted the hands and other bits in black as well. I think what you can try is to take a couple of pix w/o the camera flash... Under more natural lighting, it'll look even better! :-) Quote
recon Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Awesome work moose, considering that it is handpainted, you are still able to produce such a even coat and smooth surface. Cheers Quote
