boyarque Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hi alls... I already have this cannon fodder in my possesion for a few months now....and always I am thinking, I want to repaint this. At first I thought of only doing the weathering...but then, why limit it there? I can't do the repaint myself of course, so I contacted my friend who previously did an awesome job on my 1/48 VF-1S Roy Focker.. I asked him whether he can turn this: into THIS!: His answer: BRING IT ON! Will keep this updated with progress report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Does he have this schematic for reference? If you want him to hate you, ask for the revised versions of the scheme, they're like "super digital": Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyarque Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Thanks man, the last picture sure is the best! I already emailed him the pics, let's wait what he'll say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GU-11 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Nice. I've always liked gray cammo. How much does this guy charge for custom repaints, anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyarque Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Nice. I've always liked gray cammo. How much does this guy charge for custom repaints, anyways? Quite reasonable for his skills. For example, repainting and weathering my 1/48 VF-1S costs me RM 200 ( approx USD 62 ), repainting my silver Binaltech Argent Meister to G1 scheme with decals costs me RM 150.

Does that include shipping, or do you have to go to the guy's place and pass the figure to him yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
