physioguy Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Well... I always hoped Bandai would release a crazy Stealth or Low-Viz version of some of their Macross Frontier valks, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I customized my Cannon Fodder. Hope you like it! Quote
jenius Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I imagine the paint must be pretty delicate with that glossy finish. Did you have a trick to recommend to follow-up customizers? Quote
physioguy Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 I imagine the paint must be pretty delicate with that glossy finish. Did you have a trick to recommend to follow-up customizers? I just used a krylon-brand enamel primer before any painting. I'm confident it would hold, but it's always better to sand things first. A fine grit, wet-sand paper would be enough I would think.

Scyla Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Looks good but you should really add the kite and the Diamond Force emblem on the chest. The VF-171D (I imagine that's what it is) just looks plain without it. I wonder if it would look better with the gray head and the red clown nose on top of it. Either way it looks really good. Great job! Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 sweet!! very nice, like it a lot, did you had to dissamble to paint? Quote
physioguy Posted August 26, 2013 Author Posted August 26, 2013 I like to see it in fighter mode I'm going to let the paint cure a bit more, and then, in about week I'll transform it into fighter mode. I'll probably add some decals to it too. I'm selling one of the two on eBay. Quote
valhary Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I can´t wait to see itby the way the only thing that modify is change the color of visor maybe red for more aggressive appearance Quote
physioguy Posted September 21, 2013 Author Posted September 21, 2013 Finally transformed one of them to fighter mode! I'm listing the pair on auction to make room in my collection for future Macross stuff. Quote
raptormesh Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Very nice, I actually like it better without all the markings. Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Its a pain to transformer.. I bet it was a bitch to take apart and paint haha Looks great by the way. Quote
erikos0311 Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 very slick paint job!! Fighter mode looks sick!! congrats! Quote
