Jefuemon Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 My favorite band is Galmet, from Osaka. They came to town to do a show last December, and I wanted to do something special for them. So I made this. 1/64 scale Deco-truck. There is a real subculture of guys heavily decorating their trucks in Japan, but it's usually to Enka singers, or Japanese culture. This might be the first death metal related one. All decals were made by me. And the best part? They really liked it!! Quote
electric indigo Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I hope it's allowed to post here: Revell wants your ideas for new kits. Some SF subjects are already there. http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/ Quote
CrazyDude Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Just a confirmation. I would like to do one thread for all my WIP(Scale, Macross, Gundam and non). I build and paint kits in badges so there will be spurts off high-activity during the various stages. Where would I place such a thread now. Quote
EXO Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 If it's going to have Macross then you can put it in the Workshop, even if you stray into other things. Quote

coronadlux Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Holy ____ ! Is right. That must have taken hours, upon days, upon weeks, upon months to complete. I live the realism in the water. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) HOLY CRAP! EDIT---Can we all pitch in and commission THAT GUY to make us a 1:350 scale SDF-1 at rest in the lake???!!! Edited March 26, 2014 by derex3592 Quote
DarrinG Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 The sub - the water - the wake - the shocking, mind-blowing time and talent involved . . . Quote
EXO Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 HOLY CRAP! EDIT---Can we all pitch in and commission THAT GUY to make us a 1:350 scale SDF-1 at rest in the lake???!!! That's exactly what I thought when I saw it!!! KICKSTARTER!!!! Quote
MechTech Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 That build is the PNULTIMATE build - especially in 1/350th scale!!! It looks like a larger scale build. I've gotta say this is one of THE BEST of the BEST!!! - MT Quote
EXO Posted April 20, 2014 Author Posted April 20, 2014 Well... second best to the best... since that's what penultimate means... For all you 1/60 scale fans... try making one of these! 1:60 model of an Air India Boeing 777-300ER made entirely from manila file folders by Luca Iaconi-Stewart https://www.flickr.com/photos/lucaiaconistewart/sets/72157632208677161/ Quote
coronadlux Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) I saw a coworker build a b52 out of paper clips. Don't know if he has finished it or not, but the turbines spun, and the controls in the cockpit actually moved stuff. Blew me away. I still think the carrier is way "awesomer" Edited April 30, 2014 by coronadlux Quote
Jefuemon Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Here's something interesting: Build half a kit, then mount it to a wall plaque. Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Here's something interesting: Build half a kit, then mount it to a wall plaque. that's maybe the second most clever way of finishing a Kit I've seen. Quote
electric indigo Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Did you know that Macross kits kind of guest-starred in "Aliens"? http://www.therpf.com/f9/greeblie-identification-needed-aliens-36203/ Quote
EXO Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Weird. As an Aliens and Macross fan, I can't believe I never noticed that. I keep looking for YouTube tutorials on how to do water dioramas like this... can't seem to find any. There's a ton but not this quality. Not that I do battle ship dioramas... Quote
DarrinG Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 GET OUTTA HERE! What?? That friggin water is amazing! Talent - shear talent . . . Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Did you know that Macross kits kind of guest-starred in "Aliens"? http://www.therpf.com/f9/greeblie-identification-needed-aliens-36203/ If memory serves the Betty in Alien Resurrection had the entire leg of a VF-1 built into it. Macross/Robotech also pops up in Star Trek too. Quark's Ferengi phaser is an Invid shock trooper cannon, and a wing from a VF-1 gets embeded in the captain of the Enterprise C's forehead. Quote
derex3592 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) I remember seeing Quark's Ferengi phaser with the Invid canon and laughing!!! Edited July 7, 2014 by derex3592 Quote
ultimateone Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Here's something interesting: Build half a kit, then mount it to a wall plaque. That reminds me of this, mounting half a plane to a mirror to make it look like it is in flight. I read a how to in Fine Scale a while back, I'll see if I can scan it and post here... Quote
EXO Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 that's an awesome idea! The only bad part is that you'll be staring at your self staring at the model... lol. Quote
Jefuemon Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Finally finished!! A 1/32 scale F-4J Phantom II, from Tamiya. Everything is OOB, except for the decals. Wanted this to tie back to Macross a little bit! I actually started this last year, but had to box it up when it got too cold to paint with the window open, as it's too big for my painting booth. Quote
wm cheng Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Wow! Simply amazing. Congratulations Jefuelmon on that huge build, it turned out beautifully. I always loved the Phantom, especially in those colours. Thanks for pointing me to this thread, I have never even seen it till now - I'm definitely subscribed. I'm honoured to be amongst such talent on these boards here. Quote
Jefuemon Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 "Real" kits are a bit more of a challenge than building sci-fi. Biggest change I did was that the black walkway access markings on the top sides and wings should be grey, but the after-market decals for that part were total crap, and I wasn't motivated enough to mask and paint (over a year since I started it, I wanted to get done!) It was fun building a 1/32 scale kit, but I honestly like 1/72 the best. Quote
Dobber Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Crap, I never noticed this thread....I've been posting some of my stuff in the wrong section apparently. Awesome Phantom II! Those ship diorama's are AMAZING!! Chris Quote
modelglue Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 "Real" kits are a bit more of a challenge than building sci-fi... It was fun building a 1/32 scale kit, but I honestly like 1/72 the best. Amen to all this. That Phantom is killer. I have a couple of the Luftwaffe RoG kits on deck in 1/72. I have a 'Nam fujimi kit in SEA camo, but that can wait. If memory serves the Betty in Alien Resurrection had the entire leg of a VF-1 built into it. Macross/Robotech also pops up in Star Trek too. Quark's Ferengi phaser is an Invid shock trooper cannon, and a wing from a VF-1 gets embeded in the captain of the Enterprise C's forehead. I love that movie. Thanks for bringing that up, I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. I'll have to look into the variable cranial implant you write about. Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 If memory serves the Betty in Alien Resurrection had the entire leg of a VF-1 built into it. I just don't see it from the pictures I can find. Quote
