ChristopherB Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Hello Kurt, Great job on Gouf and Dom! If you think 1/60 scale is big, wait until you see my finished 1/48 GP04G Gerbera resin kit built. A company named G-System has even released a couple of 1/35 scale kits, which are really expensive. I am big Gundam fan, and I hope that one day someone will release a Perfect Grade Macross VF-1S, so I can build my own fully detailed valkyrie. That will be a dream come true! Sincerely, Christopher Quote
Kurt Posted December 14, 2003 Author Posted December 14, 2003 Angel's Fury - No, this isn't my full time job. I do this on the side to make few bucks and because I enjoy it so much. There is no formula to figuring out the price. I just base it on the number of parts, the complexity and how much time I feel it will take me to build it. Quote

Mechamaniac Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Man, that Gouf looks fantastic. Can you tell us what paint you used?, airbrush?, or spray? If spray, what's the color? What weathering method do you use?, is that pastel chalks, or a wash?? Quote
Kurt Posted December 15, 2003 Author Posted December 15, 2003 mechamaniac - I airbrushed Gunze Sangyo H25 Sky Blue. As far as the weathering, I used a bit of everything. Most of what you see is pre and post shading. I used black for the pre-shade and followed with a dark gray for the post shading. Add to that a wash of payne's gray and raw umber oil and pastels in select areas. And then drybrushed with a light blue and prue white oil paint. Thanks. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Kurt I know this is a dumb request but could you pose the gouf holding up the gun and giving the finger. ever since I heard of the master grade series I've wanted to see a MS giving the finger. Quote

Sorry, I no longer have this model. I built it for a customer. Interesting request, I will have to remember that on the next one I build. Quote

Actually only the Master Grade Dom can do this. All other Master Grades AFAIK (with the possible exception of the Zeong) have fixed middle fingers. Master Grades (1/100) tends to be like that. 1/60 Perfect Grade and Glorious Grade may have individually articulated fingers and hence can do that. But it's an old concept and I'm sure some pics are on the web. Quote
Anavel Gato Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 more... 68757[/snapback] How do you get the RX-78 to hold equipment like that? I own a Perfect Grade RX-78-2 Gundam but because of its posable fingers, it can't hold any weapons or equipment. (Yes i did use the two little slots in the palm) Quote

The joints for the fingers at area where it connects the fingers to the palm isn't very strong and will break easily. (Guess how I found that out!) My Perfect Grade RX-78 lost its right index finger and now it's even harder to make it hold weapons than before. Quote
MacBoy29 Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Nice, Sweet pics and amazing paint job mang! Mark Quote
zeo-mare Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 (edited) I do not know how I missed this thread being a huge Gundam fan these look incredible, how much would you charge for a 1/100 gundam kit? chris Edited December 26, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote
