newca Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 in-fxxxing-credible~ never thought that pose in pic GERWALK 01, love that very much~ did you deconstruct them before painting? air brushing or hand works? whatever they have very good looking~ Quote
scand Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Very Nice. Now only if Yamato will release some valks that look like those. Your pilots look great. I don't see how you guys get so much detail on such a small object. Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Excellent work!! And those Vermilian shots...... Talk about a nice desktop wallpaper. Keep 'em coming!! Quote
Hikuro Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 That's great, if you got a Skull One you than got the early makings of Skull Squadron, and if you get the Max and Miriya set than you will have a skull squadron, I'm impressed. I've always been curious though on just how in the hell do you paint those little pilots 0_o Quote
kensei Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 You are Macrossworld's King of 1/48 customs! Cheers mate, good show! Quote
Neova Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Looks great! Might want to touch up the arms when you get the chance. Quote
Jawjaw Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Awesome group shots! I also really like the gerwalk pics. Nice work on the customs, too. Quote
bandit29 Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Great job. Looks awesome. Oh if I had the talent.... Quote
Anubis Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Awesome work. I love the group photos too. Quote
EXO Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I'm jealous!!! I always wanted the Vermillion Team, hopefully this summer. Kakizake is too reddish for my taste but it looks excellent, especially as a group. I think Roy feels left out. After all, they're still part of the skull squadron. Quote
mechaninac Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Beautiful work! Awesome Max and Kakizaki 1A customs. The Max looks absolutely perfect, but is the Kakizaki's brown supposed to be that dark? I thought the tone should be closer to a medium-light tan color...minor nitpik, and it may just be a camera thing; besides, I don't think I would even attempt a custom on a 1/48...not unless I could get one for less than $50.00 US...like that will ever happen.

g3173 Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 (edited) Hello, Amazing shots! I never really thought of having the Vermillion 01 squad done, but those photos might make me reconsider! Great customs. Keep up the good work. gene Edited February 25, 2004 by g3173 Quote
柿崎速雄 Posted February 25, 2004 Author Posted February 25, 2004 AWESOME!!Thank the Hoary Froating Head for broadband internet!! Those look great, what did you use for panel lining??? the panel lining I just use a 0.04 gundam marker & a eraser to do it is the most simple way to do this kind of job to myself but next time I want to try other method I find a water base gundam marker maybe better than that but must take more work load Quote

After all, they're still part of the skull squadron. yes, in the photo the brown look reddish because I haven't do any lighting works on it and the light source is not enough so it looks so dim~ next time I 'll try do some lighting works went taking photo Quote

I take a wood brown on KAKIZAKI, its look's darker then we see on the tv it's was because I want to have some different between CF and KAKIZAKI VF-1A and make a balance with the max 1A now I working on the CF custom, I choose TAMIYA AS-15 TAN(USAF) for the body color , simular to the TV CF color , I think it's look good~ Quote
Blaine23 Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 great work... I've never been a huge fan of Max and Kakizaki's TV 1A color schemes, but I have to admit those group shots are just plain wicked. Of course, that might just be because you did such a killer job on all of them - congrats! Quote
Anubis Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I'd rather see the darker shade of brown than too light a shade of brown. Quote
柿崎速雄 Posted February 25, 2004 Author Posted February 25, 2004 Let me talk something about the customize work of the 1/48 VALK (SORRY, I write too long for this... but want to share something to everybody and sorry for my bad english) actually, I'm a newbie on modeling/coloring the max 1a custom is my first time using SPRAY CAN ..... so , I don't think about bump spray( I don't know how to write in english) but for a toy, I think it's ok~ the customizing works it's more easy than it's look's like when I planning to do this work's, I think for a week, I didn't know what level I will going on it At the beinging, I think do I make some shadow beside the panel line? the answer is no-- because I can't handle this at this moment, so I take the lowest level customize you can see I even don't coloring the gray parts such as the foot join , jet engine and the gun but it's still ok for me the first thing I do is decompose all the parts, some parts have black / gray color I use masking tape mask it first( eg. the NOSE) so , I just need to buy 3 color spray can -- blue , white and dark gray ( the dark gray is for the inside of landing gear base) white X 3 , blue X 2 and gray x 1 total 6 cans of color for 1 custom (the dark gray can use for next time) before coloring, use Mr.surfacer 1200 for background surface because the toys meterials not good for coloring( I think) and I want a good texture look's on it the most hard work is the foot part, take me 2 hours to do the masking..... and this first time job always need to re-do, use the sand paper remove the painting & background surface and do it again... what a painful works... anyway , overall still not a much difficult work, just take time & anyone can do this, just a minor custom other color for small parts I use gundam marker especially the pilot -- the pilot works is very funny I just use a cutter to cut off some parts of the pilot -- the shoulder , the arms and the chest, use sand paper do some surfacing works and the last , use gundam marker to paint it, after all, t he tv version pilot finish~ but the max make me sick... because I lose the whole arm of him~! so, I use BLU-TACK to make a new one for him... how it's look?

Valkyrie23 Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 WHOA! GREAT JOB! GROUP SHOTS LOOK GREAT! Quote
UN Spacy Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Here's something that we'll never see Yamato do. Wow! The full might of the VErmillion Squadron. Kicking ass and taking names. GREAT work. I can't wait to see what you have planned next. Quote
Godzilla Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 OMG. You are the man! Good job. I think you need to submit this to the customs page. Dude, how many 1/48s you have to do this? Quote
Göönk Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 actually, I'm a newbie on modeling/coloring Yes, your work is horrible!!!! Colours are hawfull Stickers/decals sux Shots are bad Posing deservce an "E-" ;-) Of course I lie. It's the opposite. I hope we can see the vermillion team for real, because I can't afford the time to do those precious. I'm amazed. it makes me want to watch the anime and i already launched the "Rick Hunter" (sorry Macross lovers) while I was watching your shots. Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 oh, and BTW, what Hikaru's call sign? ViC! Quote
Agent ONE Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Add some battle damage to Hayo... I don't think an episode went by where Hayo didn't get beat up. Quote
Opus Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Very cool! A great custom. I'm happy to see Kakizaki get the love he deserves. One nitpick though. Kakizaki's number should be 202 and Max's should be 303. Quote
ewilen Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Beautiful! I agree with all the other comments on the group shots and I especially like the shot of the Gerwalk cradling the gunpod and aiming upward. Quote
wolfx Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 May I ask, how did you repositioned the arms of the pilots? I wanna reposition mine as well. Kinda snapped one arm off the dodgy glue job....but I can't figure how'd you reposition it without recasting a new one... Quote
Fatalist Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Very cool! A great custom. I'm happy to see Kakizaki get the love he deserves. One nitpick though. Kakizaki's number should be 202 and Max's should be 303. Wrong. Those are the numbers (202 and 303) for Max and Millia when they get their 1J's. Quote
gnollman Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Very nice.... I'm loving all the custom 1:48 work we see these days.... Quote

Kinda snapped one arm off the dodgy glue job....but I can't figure how'd you reposition it without recasting a new one... the pilot arms are have different between kakizaki and MAX kakizaki I just cut off his both arms than split the right arm into 3 parts and change the angle (need make some operation) and join it again but the max one ... because I lose his right arm, so I recast it by using " blu-tack" if I do this job again, I will take some photo for you Quote
