wm cheng Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Cool! The rear landing gears are on the wrong side - the wheels should face outward. Quote
chyll2 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Cool! The rear landing gears are on the wrong side - the wheels should face outward. *facepalm* thanks for pointing that out Quote
Hervé Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Hello, in order to breathe a little bit from the Hasegawa VF-1A building, I have started that : The first UCAV to pancake and to be launched on/from a carrier (july 2013, CVN Bush) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw3m7bqrQ64 a kit review here : http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/platz/kit_platz_ac7.shtml Few parts, and it seems that the fittings are "lego like" : Edited December 17, 2013 by Hervé Quote
modelglue Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 That's Beautiful Hervé! The kit is a bit on the expensive side though isn't it? Oh well, hasn't stopped me yet. Liking that -25 from Hase' too! Quote

Jefuemon Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Some cool stuff guys! That's great Jefuemon you got to meet your favorite group! How did you manage to go about doing that? This is actually the 3rd time I've hung out with them . But since they're from Osaka, don't get a chance to see them as much as I'd like. These pics were taken at a meet and greet event before the show. I'll probably post a few more shots in the Photography thread. All of them were taking pictures of the truck, and Miki (lead singer) posted a couple of shots on her blog. Quote
Berttt Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Oh nice IUCAV Edited December 18, 2013 by Berttt Quote
Hervé Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 IT has arrived today (my own christmas present made to me by myself) : Quote
PetarB Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 MKII Monster? Maybe those are the gun barrels we see on top? And thank Mechaniac for that link…. Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 MKII Monster was my 1st thought, those are some big cannon barrels! Quote
MechTech Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 That's cool Jefuemon! Herve, keep us up on the X-47B build. I have the Orange Hobby kit in 1/350 which has awesome details for its size. You KNOW it's gotta be a Monster - but which one is the question - MT Quote
Hervé Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 MKII Monster? Maybe those are the gun barrels we see on top? MKII Monster was my 1st thought, those are some big cannon barrels! Yes : 1/72 Monster ! Big cannon barrels is the clue... This one is coming from e2046.com (designed by Kitspower http://kitspower.com) Quote

Hervé Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 And after seeing the Holy Grail picture, I thought the box was going to contain the "Holy Hand Grenade Of Antioch." Unfortunately, nothing but an heavy load of resin. Quote
Lt. Z0mBe Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I realized I never posted the finished shots of my Earthforce Lend-Lease Frazi. It took a Merit at Wonderfest: Comments and criticisms welcome. Kenny Quote
Lt. Z0mBe Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Here's Incom T-65 Green 3 for your perusal as well. The base is just something I threw together from some foam, cardboard and junk, so don't laugh too hard. Comments and criticisms welcome. Kenny Quote
modelglue Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 No laughs here, but I definitely had my jaw drop for both builds! Nice work on those two, and I like the base for the X-Wing. Quote

Lt. Z0mBe Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Praise from the masters, indeed. No laughs here...nice work. You didn't do anything different than what ILM did in the 70's with found objects. I always enjoy the "Where's Waldo" hunt to see if I can identify the parts used...like the object under the X-wing. Is that a tape measure? It's actually a pedometer they were giving out at work. The cylinders are makeup bottle/tube caps of some type and the piece they come out of is the shell to a generic Ipod dock. Kenny Quote
MechTech Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Those came out great Zombe! You have a VERY creative mind to use for all those different bits and pieces. I remember the earlier stages of the Frazi thinking, "he's gonna need a lot of primer to cover over all those colors." I am laughing at the pedometer though - how many laps has your T-65 made around the Death Star? Have you shown your co-workers what you thought of the pedometer Congrats on two marvelous displays for your collection! - MT Quote
Berttt Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I just finished this bad boy. After nearly five years to the day. Quote
LOW_ALT Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 That looks great Berttt, excellent work. Quote
modelglue Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Stellar work! Looks like something a prop-master would use on set, it's that realistic. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Stellar work! Looks like something a prop-master would use on set, it's that realistic. Took the words out of my mouth!! It really serves as a prop model for a movie! Quote
modelglue Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 With some time to myself before the holidays I did some more clean up on my 1/72 Bandai vintage VF-1J. I also took some comparison shots to scrub this model against the Hasegawa Valkyrie of the same scale. The first two pics are of the same subject but of different file formats, top is .jpg and bottom is .png, I wanted to see/share the differences as was being discussed elsewhere on the site: The feet/thrusters. I did a bit of modification to add detail and panel line recesses. The lower legs needed lots of sanding and levelling to get them presentable. Not as much work with these parts but still enough to justify getting out the files. Hasegawa kit in white, which is the VF-1S Strike version. There isn't as much scale difference as I thought initially, but still enough to make them look awkward side by side. The hase' seems skinnier. That's all for now, maybe on to paint after the big day coming up. Quote
Gabe Q Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 The vintage Bandai kit looks like the chubby stepsister of the well proportioned Hasegawa battroid. I don't mind the variable Bandai kit from way back in the day but, that battroid only kit, gets no love from me. I just finished this bad boy. After nearly five years to the day.... Berttt, that's freaking epic! I love the sense of scale you get looking at it. It just looks huge. Quote
Noyhauser Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 **** Bertt that is awesome. The attention to detail is out of this world. Quote
derex3592 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 That is hands down one of the most amazing SW builds I have ever seen. Congratulations on an epic build! Quote
Berttt Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Thankyou all very much for all of the kind words regarding the Venator. I really feel quite humbled. Regards, Brett T Quote
