GMK Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 This is a IFV conversion of the Boxer 8x8 APC, using the Revell 1/35 kit with a scratch built hull roof & turret. Still got a ways to go, but the basic shell is complete. Quote
Noyhauser Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Hey guys. Some nice stuff going on. Particularly loving the chicken walker. I've been working on a pair of Ki-43s over on another site...applying some salt chipping and other details. I'll just show one with the most progress. Some Panel Lining. Undercoat. Chipping. Paint coat. Kinda where I'm at now... needs a few more details and its ready to go. I added more chipping by painting on with Gunze and added the exhaust. Thanks for looking. Quote
Xigfrid Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I tried first spray, but I did have some bubbles forming so I stopped and I am now waiting for it to completely dry. I will put a second layer after sanding! Quote
MechTech Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 The drone looks great! The Ki-43 looks good-relatively speaking ;-) looks like the ones found after the war with weathering.-MT Quote
Cesar Enrique Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Vf-1s gerwalk almost done, just need to paint the hands and add flat clear cover to the rifle... ... it's been a slow painting since I'm working on other two kits, a super battroid and an AT-ST chicken walker: Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Wow guys awesome builds!!! Is that Ki-43s 1/100? It's a work of art!!! Quote
batcode Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 the weathering on your gerwalk looks fantastic, look forward seeing some more pics??? Quote
moss Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Great paint work on that gerwalk, the scratches looks really nice. Quote
derex3592 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Today I made mud!, and painted my base coat on Mr. Scout Walker while trying not to cover up all my pre-shading! Edited July 4, 2015 by derex3592 Quote
mozeto Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Cesar Fantasic work on the gerwalk! Do you have a blog or other place i can check out your builds and get some inspiration? Quote
derex3592 Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Calling this done. Tried sponge paint chipping for the first time, I need more practice. Anyways, great little kit, highly recommended. Quote
derex3592 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Next up...a little Darth Tie ... This is a really simple little kit, only drag is you gotta mask the solar parts on the wings if you want to paint it properly, which I do....I guess...lol. Also I noticed your only canopy choices are no windows with frame only or mask and paint the clear one. Fail. Thanks Bandai. Quote
Cesar Enrique Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Cesar Fantasic work on the gerwalk! Do you have a blog or other place i can check out your builds and get some inspiration? Hi, thank you all for watching my pictures. I've just created a Facebook page, I will upload pictures of my builds there, there are a couple of them already. facebook.com/ArquimiaModels Let me know if the link works, if it does, please give it "likes", I hope to make a proper web page any time soon. hehe.

chyll2 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I dont know where to share this news is but Shapeway is offering free shipping (international orders included) until July 12. Quote
Jefuemon Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Progress is still progressing: Never thought that 6 1/144 scale kits could take a while to build. And I haven't done anything with the launch bases yet! Quote
Noyhauser Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Still looking pretty awesome there Jefuemon. I've noticed lately that I take more time with my kits than I initially expect. Quote
mickyg Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I've noticed lately that I haven't finished a single kit in 5 years! Unless you count a 1/144 RAF Tornado I mostly finished to give to my 6 year old son.Love living vicariously through all your projects, guys. Keep posting! Quote
derex3592 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Mixed a custom blue grey color for the Darth Tie and got it laid down this morning. No drama there for a change! Found a cool color of spray paint for the Death Star base as well. while at Home Depot. Only thing lacking now is masking and painting the black solar wing panels. Joy! Cant decide if I want to clear coat this thing and do a Pro-Modeler's wash on it or if I want to leave it un-panel lined. Lots of nice crisp lines and details from BanDai on this kit. Arguments could be made from both sides..hmmm.. Quote
Phyrox Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Awesome scratch building GMK. In a similar vein, here's my latest fictional tank variant, I call it the Bull Tiger. It's a standard Tiger II with a chopped down hull (about 7.5mm I'd guess), some horn-like rear hull extensions (just for looks), and a modified turret. The turret is likewise slightly lower profile and I've narrowed the front and rear angles, as well as extended the turret sides rearward a bit for even racier lines. Overall, it looks pretty sleek, and is barely taller than an M4 Sherman's hull. I know most modellers are primarily interested in accuracy, which this pisses all over, but I have to say, this is one of my favorite armor models I've ever completed. Might as well show you how it was made: Edited July 13, 2015 by Phyrox Quote
Thom Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 That's pretty cool and it does look rather sleek. It's sure to blow some armor minds wide apart! Mine is finally getting closer to done. Needs some more paint and cleanup before decals, but she's coming along! Quote
MechTech Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Lots of great stuff guys; been vicariously living through your builds most days lately! I've been burried in schoolwork doing the full-time student thing. Hardly any time to have fun. I HAD to build something to calm the styrene withdrawls, so my son and I pulled out a Gundam Xeku Eins and built it up together without any frills and seem filling. The only detailing was as a lesson and with a modified micro-tip Sharpie pen. No finish on it since my son's now playing with it! - MT Quote

Needs some more paint and cleanup before decals, but she's coming along! what class Star Ship is that? Looks similar to Miranda but the very front of the saucer section looks different.. Quote
Thom Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 It's the /1000 Reliant model. I cut and inset the front of the saucer and grafted pieces of the torpedo pod onto it. The rollbar has been left off, and I scratched a new set of nacelle pylons. Quote

In fact i watched The Wrath of Khan just the other day! Such a shame to see such a beautiful ship get blown to bits.. Quote
Jefuemon Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Now I really feel like I'm getting somewhere! 3 more left to final assemble, then 6 launch bases to build and figure out how to display. Quote

Mechleader Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 NICE!!! Love it! Always wanted those kits! Quote
arbit Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 1/20000 SDF-1 Transforming Custom This is some fun I had with magnets. Cut and sliced up the little SDF-1 from the Nupetiet kit. Now on to painting... Quote
spanner Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Alright! Base building time!! love how good that YF-21 looks! Quote
Jefuemon Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 love how good that YF-21 looks! Actually, it's a VF-22! Quote
spanner Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 oops! haha! silly me! I even looked at the cockpit canopy to identify the plane and I still wrote it wrong.. Quote
007-vf1 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Alright! Base building time!! 150723_132443.jpg Nice.. I have a few of those on the back burner like from 3 years ago.. I have most if not all of the Tech/yellow sunbs 144's.. Someday I will, some day.. Quote
