derex3592 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Great work guys overall! Congrats on the faceplate Capt! Derex, you watchin' Robotech while building Star Wars models? Does the Dark Side know about this? - MT Shhhhh....don't speak the R word out loud!!! I was yes..because it's on Amazon Prime and it's the original broadcast version with all the old sound effects NOT the remastered one's which is great to just have as background while I work... I also just discovered the other day that SDF Macross, Super Dimension Calvary whatever it's called and Mospeada are also on Amazon Prime now! Who knew?! Quote
MechTech Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Cool thanks, Derex! That looks great Herve! Nice clean paint job. - MT Quote

If you say the R word three times in front of a mirror Carl Macek will come back to life. Quote

Big s Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 I was just about to mod that large blaster from the storm trooper kit when I noticed the death trooper kit has a pistol, rifle and a sniper with a scope. So I will probably just pick up a couple of the death trooper kits and pass down an extra sniper to one of my scouts. Quote
GMK Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Some more progress today. AMU brush guards on Australian M113A1 were a bit beefier than the standard, using flat stock section twisted, then bent into shape, before being welded in position. The results were somewhat agricultural - thankfully. As such, I rate my efforts as broadly representative. More tomorrow - may even finish the roof! Quote
arbit Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 I got my Tamiya IJN Yamato photo etched parts. Using this build below for inspiration to kit bash the Space Battleship Yamato. Quote
NZEOD Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 wow it does make a ton of difference adding those parts, doesnt it! Quote
Thom Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I got my Tamiya IJN Yamato photo etched parts. Using this build below for inspiration to kit bash the Space Battleship Yamato. 07.JPG Such tiny, tiny details. Making me drop random things already! Quote
arbit Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Such tiny, tiny details. Making me drop random things already! They are tiny 1/700. The problem is that the photo etch is almost as soft as aluminum foil. Its no problem if they are laid flat, like ladders against the wall. But those side rails will be very fragile, unless some coats of spray strengthen them. Edited September 5, 2016 by arbit Quote
electric indigo Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 I've reached the painting stage with my El-Line figure: Quote
Nyankodevice Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 in the process of painting this "beast" i'll be messing with the details soon !! Quote
Chas Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 What the hell?!?!? That's HUGE! Where on Earth did you get that! ill post more of this one in a couple of days, also ill explain exactly what i did.. I was really looking forward to this though Quote
Nyankodevice Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 What the hell?!?!? That's HUGE! Where on Earth did you get that! I was really looking forward to this though It's coming don't worry Quote
derex3592 Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Yesterday was Y Wing piping day.. that sucked.. broke 2 of the tiniest ones, whatever...also scratch built tiny clear windows for the cockpit! Today is weathering day! Makeup wedge sponges work brilliantly for this! Quote
505thAirborne Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 That EVA-01 is so amazing, love it!!! Quote
derex3592 Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Calling Mr. Y Wing finished. Pretty good kit. Definitely the hardest Bandai Star Wars kit so far, mainly because of all the piping, engine parts and all the greeeblies. Quote
wm cheng Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Looks fantastic Derex, That's in my pile, I love the kit! You have done an amazing job on it - much to be proud of! What is this makeup sponge technique you hinted of - I'd like to learn. I'm starting on the Bandai Millennium Falcon (amazing kit!), but between working and constantly finding new areas to correct (got the 3D Shapeways cockpit windows, gunwell windows, Photoetched grills and cockpit light up parts, custom LED lighting package) now I realize I need to cut the entire spine details on top of the tunnel way to the cockpit so I can recess it and sink it down by 1mm - I think this will be a very slow build...

MechTech Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Some great stuff guys! What kit is that Nyanko device? That thing is taking up a whole seat! Derex, looks like you plumbed your house! That's crazy. Great looking though! - MT Quote
Nyankodevice Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Some great stuff guys! What kit is that Nyanko device? That thing is taking up a whole seat! its an up scaled papercraft i had started awhile ago, but got sidetracked as usual Quote
mickyg Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 That's right, folks - it's paper... its an up scaled papercraft i had started awhile ago, but got sidetracked as usual Awesome, as usual, Nyanko! Quote

Mazinger Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 That's right, folks - it's paper... Awesome, as usual, Nyanko! Makes me wish the matrix did exist so that I could download some of Nyanko's skills. Quote
GMK Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Well, this is what it looked like out of the envelope: With a bit of motivational paint: Edited September 12, 2016 by GMK Quote
electric indigo Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 My LCS Frigate, the USS Sybil Luddington. I think you need to dial down the contrast a bit, but you got the texture just right. Looking forward to see the final work. Quote
Nyankodevice Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 only the arms are not done yet... Quote
spanner Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 wow! that's quite massive eh! looks great! although the feet kinda look out of place a bit.. they look like its wearing regular shoes/boots.. Quote
Big s Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 To be honest the Eva always looked like it was wearing some trendy shoes. Quote
Xigfrid Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 H U G E ! That's the only word coming to my mind. Quote
