Reïvaj Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Excuse my ignorance but what does that belong to? 1/72 VF-11's gunpod. Quote
Noyhauser Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Got a new one for you guys. Apologies for the poor lighting Edit: My photos aren't showing up... anybody else use photobucket? Edited July 17, 2012 by Noyhauser Quote
wm cheng Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) WOW! That looks phenomenal! Fantastically clean scheme. Maybe a tiny bit of weathering to give it weight - but amazing job though. More pictures please. Edited July 19, 2012 by wm cheng Quote
MechTech Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 That looks awesome! "Crisp and Clean with no cafeine" I mean issues...The only downside is it's not a real aircraft - MT Quote
PetarB Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 That looks awesome. I need to start building styrene kits again. Quote
Thom Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Currently, I'm refitting the DVD-pride from the newest Star Trek movie. Moving the neck... replacing the strust and bussards... just some little tweaks. Quote
wm cheng Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Has anyone made a "real" model of this "odd" duck? Quote
PetarB Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I believe there was a lot of talk about it from a couple of US model brands... but as far a I know nothing has come of it. Quote
wm cheng Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks, I thought Polar Lights was going to put something out, but haven't heard in a few years. Not that I'm in love with the odd design, but it might be good for completeness. I would love Bandai to do another pre-printed and lit version of this in scale with the others. Quote
Shaorin Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) (NOTE; i haven't given up on that 1/48 F-14. in fact, i'm nearly as finished with it as i'll ever be. - i just want to get around to smoothing up some rough spots and finishing some fine-detailing before i go properly showing it around here) (NOTE 2: i HAVE largely given up, however, on that 1/72 HASE F-14. it's just too demanding a kit for me, i feel. - i still work on it, here and there, but i do not feel it will turn out anything as well as the 1/48 REVELL i'm working with has so far. - we'll see, maybe a year from now, perhaps less. just please don't expect anything terribly presentable from it, in the event - that i actually DO finish the model before the next ice-age sets in...) (( SEE HERE for half-assed progress to date on HASE 1/72 F-14; http://i291.photobuc...F-147-20-12.jpg )) my latest project, gonna be an easy and fun one; -this is a simple pre-painted snap-fit. only painting i'll really have is her petticoat, (slip) ribbon on her panties, and minor touch-up of the sprue points on her pre-painted green hair ribbon. i paid $38 and change shipped for her, which was worth it for that adorable box-art alone, IMO. the figure looks to promise to be very, very lovely, though, and even the manual is a very nice, enjoyable read. as an aside, i was once a HUGE ROCKMAN/MEGA MAN fan through the early/late 1990's. i had, and still own, EVERY ONE of the NES MM entries, from 1 through 6, as well as MMX 1,2,4,5,6, and 8. i've both of the MM LEGENDS/ROCKMAN DASH games too, which have proven to be my favorite MM entries by far. to date, i most greatly enjoy them, just as much today as i ever have, which is to say, a LOT. while, on the whole, i am not quite so much the MM nut today that i was in the 90's, this most adorable little figure kit REALLY manages to dredge up that old fan-geekiness BIG TIME, as you may have just already surmised from my tirade here...

nautilus Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Currently tweaking some of the old RC gubbins in preparation for the Summer gatherings. Not exactly futuristic, but they are good fun - except when the cat takes exception to them, and declares war (the Jagdpanther still wiffs from its drenching). Quote
derex3592 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Got a chance to mask and paint all the colored panels on the top this weekend..came out well I think. Quote
MechTech Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Lots of variation - even some vintage Tamiya. I got a buggy out in the garage my Dad and I built. - MT Quote
caslon Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 It's hammer time! Hi EXO, are you going to customize it by yourself? Coz I'm gettin one of these too from Gwfalcon soon..hehe! Quote
EXO Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I am doing a commission. This is someone else's Thunder Hammer. After all these years of having one I finally have time to build one myself which is something I always wanted to do. Quote
Lt. Z0mBe Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Small update on the B5 Frazi today. I finally have finished the cockpit. I redid the canopy glazing after I found some much better clear butyrate and ditched the laminated stuff I made. Here's everything all Futured prior to washes and drybrushing: I didn't beat the cockpit up too bad. I wanted it to look converted, not like a T-34 in space. I gave it a Paynes-grayish wash followed by some light gray and yellow drybrushing where appropriate. Our driver just got some light gray drybrushing. I flatcoated with Liquitex Matte thinned in airbrush medium: Finally, here's the frakkin' canopy in place: As always, comments and criticisms welcomed. Kenny Quote
Hikaru2 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Started Yamato's 1/60 Mockingbird... Cute little kit. Just wish it had landing gear, but oh well. added a little detail to the cockpit per lineart. I decided to paint the figures (1/60, courtesy of >EXO<) as part of this project, since it also has a resin pilot. Got in the mood to model again after painting and assempling this for my friend DanBickell; Thats an original 3D print in 1/24 of his DYRL VF-1 WIP, which can be seen here http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34651&hl=&fromsearch=1 Cheers Quote
EXO Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Looking at your various equipment and materials, I feel like the addition of Cup O'Noodles is genius! Why didn't I think of that? Quote

DarrinG Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 I would like to see them animate how the cockpit re-configures going to battroid mode, as a cut away... Quote
Noyhauser Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 My latest work... part of the RAF in Burma and India. Its a 1/72 Hasegawa Thunderbolt with rising sun decals, and a fair bit of AM used. This was what I was inspired by This is what I got.. .but it needs a bit more work. Quote

MechTech Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 The "Jug" looks great! Dan's VF-1S head looks absolutely spot on! The detail is great too. It makes me wanna get off my bench and start 3D modeling! - MT Quote
