Jung Posted March 6, 2004 Author Posted March 6, 2004 What did you use to fill the seams in the legs/thighs? crazy glue first than epoxy putty Quote
Jung Posted March 6, 2004 Author Posted March 6, 2004 (edited) This time I painted and decaled the heatshield on the outside. To avoid paint chipping when you slide the heatshield in and out, I rounded the sharp corners under the chest plate. This worked fine and also allowed the heatshield to slide a lot smoother and easier. Just don't sand too deep or you'll sand through the chest plate I also sanded off the two tabs that locks the "shoulder lights" in fighter mode. THis doesn't cause any noticeable difference in transformation or looseness in fighter/gerwalk mode. Edited March 6, 2004 by Jung Quote
Mr March Posted March 6, 2004 Posted March 6, 2004 Not only do I like your custom, I really like your camera work. It's rare to see someone able to take stylish shots of their custom work. You battroid mode shots and gerwalk shots are very good. Nice work! Quote
ChristopherB Posted March 6, 2004 Posted March 6, 2004 Great Job Jung! (It's hard to come up with anything more to say, when so many nice compliments have already been posted. ) Quote
g3173 Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 I am truly lucky Jung! Another Masterpiece to add to my collection. /gene Quote

Skull 0ne Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 ART. Simply art. Took the words right out of my mouth. Just out woundering but how do I get into your will. Quote
Graham Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Ok, so we've got the "Paris Act" custom, but what I really want to know is when do we get to see the "Paris Hilton" custom? Sorry, couldn't resist. Graham Quote

JValk Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I think THAT paris wants to viva some other Viverator so let's not go there =p AWESOME work Jung! Just more cannon fodder that Minmays and Mechs aren't mutually exclusive in Macross! Quote
Yohsho Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 That is awesome. Great job! I like how you went and painted the pilot and the little bar things on the hands. Quote
柿崎速雄 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 What movie? The Paris Hilton Act? yes... Quote
mechaninac Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Other than the too dark overall color (could be the camera, the lighting, my monitor, or just my own preferrences), words simply fail to give adequate praise and admiration for this beautiful custom. A thousand bravos. Quote
Anasazi37 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Wow, nice work as always, Jung. What types/brands/colors of paint did you use for the blue and purple sections normally covered by the decals? Quote
Jung Posted March 8, 2004 Author Posted March 8, 2004 Other than the too dark overall color (could be the camera, the lighting, my monitor, or just my own preferrences), words simply fail to give adequate praise and admiration for this beautiful custom. A thousand bravos. Yeah it's greyish more than white. Normally when you airbrush white, you'll need to apply several coats cuz white when thinned is pretty translucent. I did 1-2 coats of white, and I liked the greyish look, so I left it at that. I did a more solid white for the legs, cuz I wanted to bring out the minmay decal I think the pics also makes it darker, I didn't use enough lighting. Quote
Jung Posted March 8, 2004 Author Posted March 8, 2004 Wow, nice work as always, Jung. What types/brands/colors of paint did you use for the blue and purple sections normally covered by the decals? The light blue was khrylon Sky Blue, it matched straight out of the bottle, but darkened when I sprayed it over the dark grey undercoat. The darker blue, I mixed navy blue + a bit of red to give it a purplish hue. I added flat black or white to darker or lighten it up. I can't give you the ratios, I just mixed as I went along. The match was close but not perfect. Quote
Max Jenius Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Jung, the wonders never cease. Its good to see you getting into 1/48 customs because frankly, the head start they give on detail in addition to your skill make something truly amazing. Especially in comparison to the amazing 1/55 customs you're so famous for. Quote
Nani?! Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Awesome job Jung, You took devin's (already awesome) decals and enhanced them flawlessly. Awesome work. Quote
GGB Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Great job Jung! May I know where I can get a set of the custom decals you put on the model? By the way, I believe there is another version of Minmay Guard decals (for 1/72 model), do you know where I can get that set of decals too? Thanks. Quote
Nani?! Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 By the way, I believe there is another version of Minmay Guard decals (for 1/72 model), do you know where I can get that set of decals too? I believe all of devin's (Anasazi37) decals can be found at Twin moons. The specific one your looking for is here. By the way, it's on preorder. Quote

By the way, I believe there is another version of Minmay Guard decals (for 1/72 model), do you know where I can get that set of decals too? Thanks. yep the other version is "Moon Act", let's keep our fingers crossed that Devin will produce this set of decals aswell Quote
GGB Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Thanks guys, are the list price in Twin Moons's site in US dollars or SGD? I am a new guy here from HK. When I search the old posts in this group, I found that Anasazi37 actually put his decals on sale here to MW member for a much lower price last year, too bad I didn't see it then... You guys are lucky to have a large group of Macross fans in Singapore and so many custom products to choose from. Quote
wolfx Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Urmmm.....I believe MW is US-based, and so is TMPanime. Quote
Anasazi37 Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Those decals are in the works. g3173 has commissioned me to produce them. They should be ready in about a month if I manage to stay on schedule. There really isn't much price difference between what I sold my sets for previously and what TMP Anime charges for them now. The MG set was $33, now it's $36. It's an unfortunately necessary price increase, though. I was simply getting too many individual orders to handle them all myself and Tamim was gracious enough to step in and help with distribution. However, to stay in business, he needs to mark up the price just a little to cover his costs. I shipped out almost all of the decals up for preorder late last week, so they should start going out to those of you who ordered them very soon. The one exception is the Max & Miriya set. I'm still in the process of filling that order inbetween working on a few customs.... Quote
GGB Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Thanks for your clarification Anasazi37, I though you were taking SGD when you were selling them here last year, now I feel muck more comfortable to get your decal, great work by the way! Speaking of the "Moon Act", is there any chance that the decals would be available? To be honest, I tried to make the decal myself but I found it very difficult to do so without the proper equipment (e.g. ALPS printer), as such, I think it would be more reasonable for me to purchase decals that are available on the market (I spent lots of time to find those decals images online too....)

Anasazi37 Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Speaking of the "Moon Act", is there any chance that the decals would be available? I believe so. I'll have to clear it with g3173 first, though. My policy is to not release a commissioned set unless the person who paid me to make it for them is comfortable with the idea. I'll post more info as soon as I have it. Quote
Blaine23 Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 The great thing about custom artists like Jung is that they plunk down $100 + for a toy... and say "well, now I really get to go to work. Me, I just take it out of the box, play with it, and put it on the shelf. Beautiful custom, Jung... as usual... keep 'em coming! Quote
