Focslain Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 So took the weekend to do some painting, buddy posted his WIP warglaive (the new mini-knights for 40K) so i posted my own as I was working out a familiar colour scheme. Later as I was working on it I figure I get a little help. Bugger didn't want to stay still. On a side note the DX is surprisingly pose-able. Still need to work on my camera work. Also not seen but I'll try and remember to get a pic is my coldstar with it VF-25S scheme. Quote
edstuff Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 I made a fish kaiju. Still a wip. Need to figure out what if any details I will add. Then paint the eyes and maybe toes. I think I went a bit nutty with the colors Quote

MechTech Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 That's cool Nyankodevice! Man, I love Mandarake! They have some awesome stuff there and their shipping is the fastest I have experienced yet! Got two packages on the way from them too. - MT Quote

I saw a Y-Nadesico there a couple days ago i wanted, but when i went in to buy it today, it was gone, and they only have the regular Nadesico now Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Mandarake is responsible for over half of my 1/60 valkyries. Also a great place to get P Bandai gundam kits. Quote

Focslain Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Something else I was working on. Still need to clean it up and work a bit more details. (T'au Coldstar commander, armed with High-output burst cannon, missile pod x2 and shield generator) Later I'm going to replace his HOBC with a special variant plasma rifle. Quote
505thAirborne Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I'll take some better pics later on, for now the Fighter mode kit a05 and the Battroid kit a04 are just about completed. Decided to start on a second fighter kit. this one will be a two-seater and marked b00. Quote

My only recommendation is to film this over a green-screen with a scene from Macross added in. Quote

After I had done the painting of the carrier (USS Enterprise), I realized I did not have a model of that carrier. Nor did I have the 23 dollars to purchase one. Longing and frustration began to set in until I could stand it no more... It didn't look like much, but then again, when did THAT ever stop me? So I continued... And well... see what you think: Work on the mast is going right now... it's a royal pain though: Stay tuned... Quote

That sucks. I though it has a hinge. How did you fix yours? And what the heck is that armored battle valk in the background? Edited April 8, 2018 by arbit Quote

MechTech Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 That's looking good 505! I like your modification Nyankodevice. Yeah, what hinge did you use for that? I might steel your idea if I buy one of those kits That is some SERIOUS scratch building Pengbuzz! You put everything but the kitchen sink into that model. Forget styrene! Arbit, that valk came out AWESOME!!! Great all the way around! I'm building a Dougram Ironfoot /Hasty right now and going to put fiber optics in the cockpit too since the model is so rare and expensive. Plus, the hatch opens so you can see everything. That's cool NZEOD! What's the nail polish for? - MT Quote
NZEOD Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 Check again... more images. Nail polish was for scale reference... these are 1/144 Quote
NZEOD Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) It's not my colour polish Edited April 8, 2018 by NZEOD Quote

Forget styrene! The Kitchen Sink: I plan on doing this ship as "a diorama within a diorama within a diorama"; that is, the hangar deck will be something of a diorama (with a plane being brought out to the elevator), the flight deck being a diorama (complete with people, we'll see how I pull that one off!), and the ship underway on the ocean. On another note: in SDFM, the Prometheus and Daedalus are considerably larger than CVN-65 (and all modern carriers even today), and they are mounted on the SDF-1!!! (Just something for folks to think about when it comes to scale in Macross) Stay tuned folks... I think I may feel "the need for speed" very soon... Edited April 8, 2018 by pengbuzz Quote

But I recommend nail lacquer, it's even tougher. I'm always in the make-up aisle to find stuff. A powder brush is very wide and soft for cleaning your models. And don't forget the nail file blocks and tweezers. Edited April 8, 2018 by arbit Quote

NZEOD Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Ok... I came across a source for 1/72 carrier deck figures from a guy in France who operates under the ReedOak label. Carlos, the guy making the €600 carrier deck dioramas has some of the figures in his diorama wip images painted plain white. As they were insanely detailed I assumed they were photoshopped images of real people... well... They aren't! You can actually see the damn ring binders on the Checklist SOP folder!! Sooooo me being me... I bought every different pose he had. And this just the US Navy crews. There are helo crews, RAF crews, Russian ones and French ones, men, women, Caucasian, African American.
