Kurt Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Hey everyone! Here is my 1/48 Custom Enigma completed. I should have the Fast Packs next week so I can really complete this valk. You can see in progress images here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=ST&f=24&t=4050 Let me know what you think. And for those of you that may be interested, if you provide the valk and the decals I am willing to do these on commission. Just PM me for a quote. Thanks again and enjoy the following images. Quote
EXO Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Looks great, even close up... how is the paint holding up when the joints are moved? Quote
SuperOstrich Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Best looking 1/48 custom so far. Nice job! Quote
Kurt Posted January 2, 2004 Author Posted January 2, 2004 I have transformed it twice so far and everything seems to be holding up. I don't plan on transforming it much, so I don't anticipate a problem. Thanks for the compliments! Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Beautiful especially in fighter mode, excellent work Kurt Quote
FRED THE FRENCH Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Lovely, so lovely. I whish I could do the same. Is there a post where someone explains how to customize valks? Quote
Uxi Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 That looks incredible. Has to be the best custom I've seen so far. Quote
Aegis! Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Brilliant job mate !!! This has to be the best custom 1/48 I´ve seen so far in my life , the paint job looks really awesome I whish I had your skills for some customs I had in mind. Congratulations for you excellent work Quote
Skull 001 Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 That is just awesome. I wish Yamato would do another LE valk but this one be the one made. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 Great work Kurt! By your early pics I thought you were painting a darker version of the Enigma, but it looks great either way =) Skull 001's got a great idea. I'd snatch up a LE Enigma 1S anytime. Someone should send these pics to Yamato Quote
Capt. Kraimer Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 That is totally awsome. what kind of tape should i use if i can't find the tamaya stuff??? kurt??? Quote
Kurt Posted January 3, 2004 Author Posted January 3, 2004 That is totally awsome. what kind of tape should i use if i can't find the tamaya stuff??? kurt??? If you can't find the Tamiya tape, maybe try the blue masking tape found in the paint department of home improvement stores. I know that is not as tacy as regular masking tape, but you should still be careful before using it. Test it first to make sure that it won't pull up any paint. If it does, stick it to a cutting board or a piece of glass first to remove some tackiness. Quote
Kurt Posted January 3, 2004 Author Posted January 3, 2004 great work Kurt! Did you clear coat the paint job? The paints you used, are they water-based? Thanks! Here are the layers that were applied - laquer primer, Gunze Sangyo acrylic (water-base). two coats of future and then a coat of Polly-S flat (water-base). Quote
Mr March Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 Well, your efforts paid off. This is easily the best 1/48 custom I've seen and it will be a tough act to follow. It looks very sharp and the colors very much suit the Valkyrie. Great pictures too (though you gotta pick some more dramatic poses). This looks so good, I may spend some of my christmas money on a custom from ya. Quote

GreenGuy42 Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 Simply beautiful. Pictures like this make me want to take a chance on one of MY 1/48s. It wouldn't turn out so nice, though. Quote
MacBoy29 Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 Damn thats gorgeous !!! Very unique custom, VERY nice job ! Quote
lebhead Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 wow! that's a great custom! very good job! Quote
Neova Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) Kurt, My favorite custom 1/48 from the ones I've seen so far. Jung's CF 1/48 is a close 2nd though. I wish my bank would inflate right now so I can send you and Jung a case of 1/48s each for commission work. I can't wait to see you finish off the Fast Packs! Edited January 3, 2004 by Neova Quote
Smiley424 Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 Hot, I really like the sawtooth design, sweetness Quote
ChristopherB Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 Kurt, Great job on your custom! Very clean looking, and I can't wait to see it with the armor on. Sincerely. Christopher Quote
Max Jenius Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 Sorry, my bad! Thought they were the same deal. GAME ON! Quote
Smut Peddler Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 Great job, you all are making me jealous. I want one of those. Quote
