Rune Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 My 1/48s look kind of naked right about now. Jung,DUDE...what can I say other then HOLY $#@! Quote
Jawjaw Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Wow.... Truly amazing! I'm so glad you chose the CF VF-1A for that custom because it looks awesome. Quote
UN Spacy Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Simply breathtaking Jung....you're truely one of the GREAT MW modelers. Quote
Southcross Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 (edited) To get the shaded look (around panel lines and edges), I paint the whole pieces flat black. Let that dry, than for the blue (navy blue + dark/med grey), carefully spray leaving the areas around the panels/edges darker. Not the greatest pic, but you can see it on the leg armour pieces. Just currious, you used Acrylics for the primary painting? Edited February 8, 2004 by Southcross Quote
Godzilla Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Very nice job indeed. Now if I can only do that... Quote
g3173 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Hi Jung, Great Job! Man I really can't wait to display her with the rest of my 1/48 customs! Your works seems to push the level of customizing everytime I see these pictures. Breath taking!!!! Gene Quote
Neova Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Impressive! Again, Yamato needs to take some design cues from Jung and others here for their future releases. Quote
Chewie Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 That looks totally amazing but one question, and a lot of people seem to do it: Why would the missiles on the wings have a weathered/used look? Do they really sit on there long enough to gather dust and grime like that? Not saying anything bad, but asking an honest question. =) Quote

Kamion Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Hi Jung,Great Job! Man I really can't wait to display her with the rest of my 1/48 customs! Your works seems to push the level of customizing everytime I see these pictures. Breath taking!!!! Gene Hmm, did you commission this custom or have you recently bought it? Are Jung's customs up for sale?? Quote
Toonz Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 jung, you are UNTHINKABLE!!!!!!! what do we get if we ADD JUNG AND WM CHENG TOGETHER?? Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 damn jung, you never cease to amaze me. Is there anything you can't do? Quote
Mechafan Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 jung excellent work wow! A CF never looked so good. Quote
g3173 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Hi Jung,Great Job! Man I really can't wait to display her with the rest of my 1/48 customs! Your works seems to push the level of customizing everytime I see these pictures. Breath taking!!!! Gene Hmm, did you commission this custom or have you recently bought it? Are Jung's customs up for sale?? Yes recently purchased. PM Jung, I know he does commisson work all the time. His work is amazing. These pictures never do them justice! Quote
Jung Posted February 8, 2004 Author Posted February 8, 2004 To get the shaded look (around panel lines and edges), I paint the whole pieces flat black. Let that dry, than for the blue (navy blue + dark/med grey), carefully spray leaving the areas around the panels/edges darker. Not the greatest pic, but you can see it on the leg armour pieces. Just currious, you used Acrylics for the primary painting? The main colours are enamels. Enamels are tougher and can handle the handling during transformation. Here's the list of paints for the armour: Hardware store spraypaints sprayed into paint bottles for the airbrush: 1) Main Blue is Navy Blue mixed with Medium/Dark(?) grey. Can't give you the ratio, just kept adding till I got the desired shade. 2)Flat Black and white 3)Chrome Testors enamels(those small $1 bottles) 1)Fire Red for the booster lights(?) Tamiya Acrylics: 1)Copper for the engine highlights 2)gunmetal for the dark areas of the strike canon and the "missile doors" of the booster fronts. Future is used for the clear coating, and for the final Semi Gloss coat I mixed a 9:1 ratio of FUTURE to Tamiya acrylic flat base. Quote
wm cheng Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Excellent work Jung I just love seeing your mods - truly amazing! I would love to see them in person someday. Maybe we can get together at AnimeExtreme and hold a little Toronto Macross Con at Silver's place (when it gets warmer!) Meanwhile keep posting your beautiful Valks - I love them!! Quote
Hurin Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 y can yamato make 1/48 just like this . I think this answers your question: I am working on a DYRL VF-1A Max and the Cats eye and I can calculate about over 10 hours in just paiting them both including the detail nozzles and such If Yamato made them look like this out of the box, they'd easily cost serveral hundred dollars.

VF-1S Alpha Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Hi Jung,Great Job! Man I really can't wait to display her with the rest of my 1/48 customs! Your works seems to push the level of customizing everytime I see these pictures. Breath taking!!!! Gene Hmm, did you commission this custom or have you recently bought it? Are Jung's customs up for sale?? Yes recently purchased. PM Jung, I know he does commisson work all the time. His work is amazing. These pictures never do them justice! Maybe it was Yamato who commissioned Jung! Hey Jung, maybe you should copyright your pictures of your work, next thing you know, it is flying on ebay... Great work there! Anyone care to share how much is this commission is worth? I would love to get my VF-1J into that detail! Quote
Air Elijah Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Dang!!! DANG!!!!! DAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! * faints * I need to get that done to my Max-1A since my Fokker 1S is arriving soon and I really prefer TV stuff over DYRL. Quote
Dragon Lord Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Amazing work mate! Been a while. Are you currently working on any other customs? If so, can't wait to see them. Two thumbs up as always! Joe P. Quote

Chuey Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Wow, cannon fodder never looked so good. Do you do commissions? Quote
Sturmvogel Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 To paraphrase Nigel Tufnel: could it get any better than that? No, none more better. Awesome! Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 ALAS!! Yet another humbling piece of art that results in grown men drooling like babies. I must know clean my keyboard......AGAIN!! GREAT JOB, JUNG!!! Quote
Jasonc Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 From one customizer to another, your work is awesome. The weathering and the detail is superb. You definitely have an eye for the art of modeling and customizing. Again, great job. Quote
Jung Posted February 9, 2004 Author Posted February 9, 2004 My Next projects are Minmay guard Paris act and the 2 blue roses camo schemes. For those interested in commissioning me, please pm me. thanks Quote
Uxi Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Incredible work! I would so buy a CF that looked like that. Until then I'll stick with the Low-Viz. Quote
