cwpp Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Hi, I'm a newbie here, nice to meet you all~ Here is my work done, just completed. Enjoy~ Obviously, the VF-1S No painting Valkyrie is from 1/60 Yamato Ver 2 toy. Since I want to keep it in good shape, I'm looking forward to the coming re-issue kit version. Thanks for reading, c u around . Edited September 16, 2011 by cwpp Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 What an awesome second post for a newbie A very professional paintjob!!! Right click, save all. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Wow great work - that looks amazing! The armor does look much better painted up. Maybe I should get around to painting my set up... Quote
cwpp Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Thanks all~ MW is the origin of this 1/60 armor kit, and I'm delighted to show my appreciation here too. Below are a few bits and pieces progress shots; A few modifications were made by referring the original 1/72 ver which was first published in Model Graphix 2002 October.

BlueMax Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Fantastic! Very nice indeed! Congratulations! Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 looks like you use the kotobukiya model support goods mechanical chain bases in one shot. can you list which bases you put together for that configuration and also list what is shown there that is not included with the bases? Thanks in advance. The thunderhammer looks awesome!! Quote
ae_productions Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 That is one sweet Thunderhammer! Great work! Quote
Arthurius Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Amoror looks great. Will look even better if valk had gold visor Quote
caslon Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 If you selling any of those in the future, then i'm in!!! Quote
Jasonc Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Looks awesome. Very clean. I painted mine weathered a bit. Congrats on a job well done, and I agree...if these are made available again, I'd probably pick up another. Quote
valhary Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 beautiful I like to see the low vis roy wearing that Quote
EXO Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Amoror looks great. Will look even better if valk had gold visor Why I oughta!!!... Actually the clear can be painted clear yellow... I'm sure it'll look great. That's yellow tamiya putty right? Man... that stuff is gone from the shelves here. Quote
bowman Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Very nice paint job, love the shot including the base. Quote
Valk009 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Two thumbs up for a fantastic great job, make me want to complete my kit, where I did some personal mods too! Btw, still have a few kits left for those who are still interested! Quote
gwfalcon Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Super Great Painting Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
homura Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 wonderful work, i like this armor pack much more than the original one! Quote
Maiden Japan Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Nice decal application. Fantastic work! It is the best finish of any Thunderhammer built that I ever seen. Quote
GU-11 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Awesome work! I'll have to content myself with looking a pics of the Thunder Hummer set, though. Not sure I have the patience and eye for detail to fix up a complex kit like this one. There are easily over fifty individual parts on that thing! Quote
cwpp Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) looks like you use the kotobukiya model support goods mechanical chain bases in one shot. can you list which bases you put together for that configuration and also list what is shown there that is not included with the bases? Thanks in advance. The thunderhammer looks awesome!! Yes, they are kotobukiya mechanical chain bases. I built two 2-storeys compartments with ceiling; Floor size is restricted to 2 x 3 because of the dry box underneath. The upper compartment is composed of Ceiling: No.007 x 2, No.008 x 2, No.009 x 2 Side Wall: No.008 x 2, No.009 x 2, No.001 x 3, No.002 x 1 Floor: No.001 x 4, No.006 x 2 Back Wall: No.004 x 2, No.006 x 4 Summary: 001 x 3 002 x 1 004 x 2 006 x 4 007 x 2 008 x 2 009 x 2 With these, you can build the same with those core accessories shown. Also check here for those minors: http://main.kotobuki...o.jp/mechabase/ Amoror looks great. Will look even better if valk had gold visor Agree , I also like gold (or silver) mirror visor ~~ Just because I wanna keep the VF-1S No painting ver Valkyrie toy clean, I'm going to deal with the re-issue kit version supposedly arriving in Oct Awesome work! I'll have to content myself with looking a pics of the Thunder Hummer set, though. Not sure I have the patience and eye for detail to fix up a complex kit like this one. There are easily over fifty individual parts on that thing! Absolutely ~~ To build this kit simply demands another type of patience Here is the decal I have made for this built, yet they are not at all complicated graphics actually. Anyway, for handy sake, be my guest ~ Edited September 17, 2011 by cwpp Quote
caslon Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 So are you planning to recast the kit for sale? I'm so keen on getting one of these goodies..hehe! Quote

I'm so keen on getting one of these goodies..hehe! nooo...no plan to do so, I'm just an ordinary hobby fan. I don't know how to recast anyway though I would love to know all necessary material and way to do it Thanks for the clarification Quote
caslon Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 But anyway, you did a fantastic job though! Bravo! Quote
Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 What is the history behind the Thunder Hummer model? Something fan made in a hobby mag that has been re-cast by fans a few times is my suspicion. Is there a story/non-cannon behind it too? Quote
