The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post

[wm cheng]

Wow!  Is that a decal he made from scans of the original poster or did he freehand paint that all in?!?!

[Thom]

Man that is a beautiful job!

And what a marvelous custom.

Now that’s a winner!!!

Arcadia should do this on a VF-1J 1/60. I would insta-buy!

It looks free hand...

[Shawn]

ok, that takes the taco.

Wow.

Can we get a decal set we can apply for us non-skilled fans?

 

[MechTech]

That was freehand from the earlier photos! CRAZY and AWESOMELY COOL! A cool original idea too!  - MT

Wow, I followed the link and it hurts my brain to look at those pictures. Pretty cool concept. It really fools the eye into thinking it's an animated picture.

Thanks for posting that!

I like the little paper cutouts

That is such an awesome job!

That VF -1J is by the same fella whose VF-1D and VT-1 I posted back on the 1st page of this thread. Dude is still killing it!

He also does a Wave Starship Troopers Powered Suit in B&W manga-esque style using gradient tone transfers like the old Letratone sheets. It's way back from May 2015.

While working on the new kit of that power armor, the first mages of that build would come up regularly while I was searching for references. The guy does amazing work

Wow. I'd purchase a release like this from any model and toy company.

From wakky1114.

[Bolt]

Yes!  It's so good ! I've seen this before, was wondering, is it 1/72 ? The lighting and shadow play is top notch!

This somehow crosses that bridge of model building and cosplay. 

[nightmareB4macross]

Adorable!!!

I'm more intrigued by the classic Celica in the background. 😅

It could also be up to interpretation. Like the model of the car or that you could consider the cosplayer the model.

Looks like they put VF-1 legs on a VF-31...

[Bolt]

Those all look awesome!

Wonder if it has better stability with those?

[Rock]

Really love scale mixing to create a complete scene! Great way to display the nose cones too!
