Uxi Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Not bad. I don't really dig the scheme, but looks pretty good for a chunky monkey. Quote
ChristopherB Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Mike, Yet another awesome custom my friend!!! The decals look great, and paint job is flawless. Long live the Bandai/Takatoku/Matsushiro 1/55 valkyrie. Sincerely, Christopher Quote
Graham Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 OK, if I put this in the MW Custom Toy Gallery. Also, how about some Fighter and Gerwalk mode pics? Graham Quote
sbarrett4 Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 very nice, I like the weathering. After seeing the last two MG customs, I think I'll repaint the nose on mine yellow, as opposed to the pink I painted it before. One question about the decals - did you have a small leftover "tire tread" piece? I did and couldn't figure out where it goes. Quote
Anasazi37 Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 One question about the decals - did you have a small leftover "tire tread" piece? I did and couldn't figure out where it goes. The only decal I can think of that you might be referring to is the one that appears just to the left of the chestplate decals on the sheet. It's designed to fit on the piece that sits under the chestplate (only visible in fighter mode). Here's a picture of it and where it shows up on the original 1/72 model: Quote

JValk Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 AWESOME! A weathered Minmay Guard - finally, a Guard that has been thru the grinder! Minmay loves combat-tested bouncers! The best thing is, if my dog ever grabs it, i'm sure the chunky monkey will live to see another day and I can just say the paint job was "weathered" a bit more lol! I barely recognize my VF-1A DRYL Chunky Monkey reissue at all - and that VF-1S head is soooo evil and so much better. Even his "eye" is weathered, eh? And the choice to make the nosecone the same color as the yellow on the chestplate is a great idea, no more jokes about the "pink peckers." Thanks so much Mike for the build and Devin for the decals - without customizers like you, MW would lose alot of character (nevermind talented resources)! Quote
Sumdumgai Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Now that is the coolest chunky-monkey I have ever seen! That is a great custom! I envy you Jvalk, that really kicks ass! Quote
JValk Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 is it just me or are those wings going to look great in fighter mode? *drool* i can't wait for the next round of pics! Quote
JValk Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 (edited) Detail...panelling...wings...fighter...*keels over* *Dies* Edit - I noticed you even painted the landing gear! Sheesh! You are the man! Edited March 11, 2004 by JValk Quote
g3173 Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 Hi Mike, I'm sure glad to see that the 1/55 customs are still in the works! No matter how awesome the 1/48's are, there's nothing like a custom chunky monkey! Great Job! /Gene Quote
