mpower1226 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Here is the teaser. I am having this vf1-s commisioned by a pro builder in korea painted in animation 2d painting. It's taking quite a bit and slow progress. He just sent me some updates and looking very nice so wanted share with u guys! Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 I think the outline is a bit too much and too consistent. Those rivets details should be removed. Quote

I guess to stay true to cell painting yes rivets should not be so highlighted but i kinda like it! We will see how it comes out! This was actually his first time doing anything macross related as he is from gundam side! Quote
Return To Kit Form Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 I like it a lot. It looks like it walked out a modern comic. The guy is doing a great job. - Brett Quote
mickyg Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Rivets or not, that is VERY cool! You're a lucky guy to be getting this done up the way it is. Quote
mpower1226 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Posted June 28, 2018 lol I've been getting a lot of complaints from the builder as the kit itself requires a lot of issues to be worked out as it being an old kit. We shall see how it turns out. this was actually my first time having anything commission built and it was not cheap at all. (not complaining about the price as a lot of labor went in) once i get more updates, i will share. I wish i actually have a skillset and time to build it myself... Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 If he’s more familiar with GunPlas, then I understand his frustrations on building this. I have that same kit before and from the get-go I really can tell that it needs more work than Bandai’s. That kit is flimsy when you build it as is. Not like with Bandai which is sturdy and it has internal support built-in already. With Hasegawa, it’s mostly hollow. You have to fill in some fillers to make the kit a little sturdy esp for figures/robots not like their plane counterparts. Quote
Gabe Q Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Yeah, the Hasegawa Battroid needs lots of clean up to look best. There are lots of seams to fill and sand smooth. The plastic is softer than a typical Gundam kit. I can imagine the builder's frustration if they're not used to traditional style assembly kits. I just built my first Gundam kit a couple weeks ago and had the opposite experience. After building Hasegawa kits all these years, the Leo I built went together like a dream. It only had two visible seams but they required no putty because the fit was perfect. I agree that the builder probably is experiencing a build that involves more work than they expected. Quote
mpower1226 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Posted July 13, 2018 I have just received it and it looks awesome. The builder did an excellent job of doing cell shade and it really shows. Unfortunately, my personal situation has taken an unexpected turn and needs to sell it.. damn it. will be posting for sale soon.. Quote
fhrex Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Wow! That really looks fantastic! Sorry about you having to sell it. I feel for you, man Quote
Return To Kit Form Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) I love this style! I'm going to have to tackle it one day. It is such a trick of the eye and really looks like in jumped straight out of the anime. Too bad you can't hold onto it man and good luck with the sale. -Brett Edited July 18, 2018 by Return To Kit Form Quote
