Murphy Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 fresh off the factory line Yamato's 1/60 Regult... Quote
chen Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Chen, what is that valk on? Homemade lightbox, used an old cologne box and bought some LED light strips from the dollar store. Got three in the box then made four a-frames out of cardboard and put a light strip on each one. Not counting the cost of the cologne the whole thing cost less then $10 Quote

chen Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Sure it's pretty basic but here's some pics of it. Plus as you can see with the lights off in a pitch black room it puts off a lot of light. Also I can move around the lights on the cardboard a-frames to where it's needed. So I get the uplighting from the box and the side lighting where I need it. I plan on making one out of plexi since right now it's pretty small maybe 10" x 10" so it limits what I can shoot pictures of. Oh and I don't use a flash and have the macro setting on when taking pics, it works for me and I always like the "nighttime spotlight" look in pictures. Here's another quick pic, I mostly takes pics of stuff like SOC's since they tend to be more vertical while stuff like jets tend to be horizontal with not as much surface area for the lights to hit. Soory for posting a OT pic of Pegas and Tekkaman Quote
caslon Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Omg!! I love the 1/60 regult..it's so lovely! I can see it's "light" weight battle pod! Quote

Mommar Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Sweet Murphy! It's nice to see pictures of the Regult for once. Can you take some more pics? Quote
caslon Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Yea I agree! Please take few more shots for us! I'm drooling now... Quote

MacrossJunkie Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) I finished work on the VE-1 I got this past week. Changed things up a bit and decided to go with an airbrush for the weathering effects entirely instead of using the tamiya kits for this thing. It's been a while since I used an airbrush for it, but I think it came out rather nicely. It definitely lets me do more subtle effects than the tamiya kits allow. Somehow an antenna snapped off on the arm array. I have no idea when or how it happened, but I looked all over and couldn't find the piece to glue it back on. No FAST packs on right now. Giving the finish some time to dry and cure further before I attempt to put them on. Edited November 25, 2012 by MacrossJunkie Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Beautiful work as usual, dude! Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Fighter mode with FAST pack attachments. Quote
Benson13 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) This valk falls into that "weird" category for me, just like the "pretty" fat girl. I like it but it just defies logic. Edited November 25, 2012 by Benson13 Quote
TCracker Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Some VF171EX love Edit: Curses, just realized that I forgot to slide down the back cover....grrrr.... Edited November 25, 2012 by TCracker Quote
Reïvaj Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 It falls into the "awesome" category for me. Great job as usual and thanks for sharing, MacrossJunkie! Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 I got some time to take some GERWALK and battroid pics. Quote
Raptor One Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Amazing work MacrossJunkie. I can totally picture your Elintseeker floating along in space somewhere. The weathering just gives it that nice "realistic" look This valk falls into that "weird" category for me, just like the "pretty" fat girl. I like it but it just defies logic. There are tons of pretty fat girls, nothing illogical about it. Quote
derex3592 Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Great job! I have yet to work up the courage to take my airbrush to a Yamato Valk... Quote
EXO Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Great job! I have yet to work up the courage to take my airbrush to a Yamato Valk... Me too. That's why I paint other people's toys. Quote

MacPnoy74 Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 It's been a long while since I've posted to MW... ...anyways, just wanted to share some pics of the 1/3000 SDF-01 I got back in October. Enjoy Quote

VF-18S Hornet Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 derex3592 just where did you get the stickers for the ARMD carriers from? Quote
derex3592 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 I got them from a nice guy on the forums here who sold me his water slide decals, photo etch parts and the glow-in-the-dark stickers that came with his unassembled sdf-1 kit over a year ago. He wasn't going to use them. I paid it forward by giving the glow-in-the-dark stickers to another fellow member Quote
