My latest 1/55, a Blue Roses custom inspired by Anasazi.

Last one, a shot of the armor from the rear.

That Blue Roses custom is very nice. What color did you use for the main body?

[Anasazi37]

Nice job, Shan! Keep the 1/55 customs coming!

[sbarrett4]

Testors Model Master Blue Angel Blue. Thought that was appropriate

That color works really well, along with Tamiya Sea Blue. I tried out both when I did my 1/60 BR custom and decided to go with the Tamiya because I prefer working with acrylics when possible.

Quick question. How do you insert pics? I have a few but don't know how to put them up here?

you'll see some words below of your message that says file attachments

Here's my very first custom. I'm working on two right now, but this one has a VF-1D head by chris as well as heat shield, and cockpit. The pilots are scratch built, and the decals are of Anasazi's great work. I used Tamiya sand for the brown and Tamiya orange. The green is a mix of two bottles I found of Tamiya paint that I knew would look good if mixed.

Here's another

And one more. If you got questions, ask em here. I'm hoping to see more customs from everyone else.

Great job on that! Thats your first custom? If so, I can't wait to see what else you can come up with.

[ALLAN]

not much of a custom

I just painted my extra set of Jetfire fast packs panzer grey and put them on my 1S

[ALLAN]

[Jasonc]

That's pretty good. I'd love to get a set for my 1D or the 1S Minmay Guard I'm working on. Is that armor set from the original Bandai/Takatoku, or from the reissue Bandai? Anyone know of anyone that's casted parts for the reissues, esp. the arms?

alftien casted arm armor that will work with pretty much any valk. It uses the same attachment method as the 1/55 Elint (no clips). I think mslz22 recasted these, too.

[Jasonc]

Anybody have any more customs? C'mon people! This is your chance to show the community what you can do, and to inspire others. Even if it's an old custom, let's see them.

[mslz22]

Ok here we go with the old ones.....this one was my first elint with my recast elint kit from my old molds. I sold it but understand that it meet an unfortunate fate. I later found out that the resin i used to pour the parts was recalled by smooth on.

[mslz22]

not a great pic but another elint for chris b

[mslz22]

gerwalk only enigma, my first enigma, this was before devin was making the eigma decals so i had to make most of the markings myself...not as nice as his of course

[mslz22]

another view of one of the 1ds

[Neova]

mslz22,

Great job on those chunky monkeys!

[gashapon]

mslz22,

You make these armors and heads etc., and they fit on the1/55's or do you sell these completed?? Also, whats the going price for the elint seeker stuff?

[mslz22]

I generally sell the kits unfinished, but do customs for people also. The Elint seeker kit is $75.00 shipped in the US and all the molds are new. the kit includes

ve wings

ve1 head

radom

radom support

all 10 parts for the boosters (2 are the side antenna)

booster clip

medium leg armor

large leg armor

all the parts that make up the lower antenna (10parts)

2seater cockpit

the "arm armor" that goes on the right arm, it's more of an antenna thing i guess...

basically everything you need to make a jetfire/1/55 bandai reissue any 1/55 (exept toynami) a ve 1,

I also have the conversion kit for the super ostrich.

all parts are pressure cast and matt finish.

PM me if you are interested

[JValk]

wow mike look at the giant man-hands on that enigma! nice!

[Jasonc]

I just recently purchased the Super O parts from MSLZ, and can't wait to get them. I must say that the work on the Elint you have is a good job. Do you use airbrush, or go with the cans?

[kanata67]

Well folks... I noticed that nobody has responded to this thread for a while so I wasn't sure if this was relavent.

A friend just gave me a star wars artilery cannon [light up no less] that I can't decide if I should use as a hand held weapon for my "the count" 1/55 vf or as a strike cannon for it. Is anybody still interested in this topic before I post a pic and waste server space?

[Jasonc]

By all means, post!!! The customs gallery is cool and all, but here we can just put up all sorts of Macross variants, without so many pics. Anyways, if you've got customs that you bought, or ones you made, post them here. Inspire the customizers here to pound more new looks out.

Here is my second VF-1d custom and working on my third one - trying to have a swivelling legs and ball joints arm-shoulder part.

[Pat S]

Here's a modified VF-11b I'm working on. I've extended the wings, and removed the slider bars and associated hardware under neath the wings, and on top of the shoulders. I'm going to extend the tailfins next(possibly the bottom stabilizers on the legs too). The wings haven't been setup for battloid, but fighter and gerwalk work. Notice the shoulder area slider is gone on the custom.
