moondrome Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 hi, I wanted to share with you fellow modellers what I have on my bench right now. is a 1/100 scale model from wave corp. this is a snapfit kit, and has decals and details for three different painting schemes. since I already finished the VF 1-a battroid version , I will keep the same paint scheme for the jet version. this way I can later mix the two kits together and get the gerwalk stage which is awesome 😁 here's some pics and here after filling seams, priming and preshading 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondrome Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Sunday is the modeller's day, so here's some updated photos. paint needs some retouch here and there , and some seamlines are still visible but not too bad overall 💪 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TristanR Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Loving that paint scheme. The green canopy with the sandy colour and the white is very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Mack-oo-Ross! I still have a fondness for the old Macross ships with their arms and legs. I’ve got a few of those kits in the stash, with the 1:48 Hasegawa VF-1 taking pride of place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondrome Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 @Mike these kits are not easy to find today , production has always been discontinued I guess.... lucky you if you have the hasegawa VF-1 ! @TristanR yes, this is my favorite color scheme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondrome Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 update! photos and some details : - paint is mostly tamiya xf 1 , xf 2 and the brown base is 50% flat earth(xf 52 ) and 50% dark yellow 2 ( xf 88 ) and flat brown xf 10 for the feet- turbine exhaust - decals applied - clear coat applied - weathering made with tamiya panel line, some chipping here and there and black oil streaks in some points. behind you can see the battroid version ( which I built in 2020). next step is the gerwalk stage! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMK Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Perfect shade of brown you’ve managed there. Love the Wave kits. Have about a dozen in the stash that I need to get rid of. Watching with interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve moved across to 1/16 scale armour, pretty much exclusively, designing & 3D printing my own kits. I’m just reluctant to get rid of them...yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondrome Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 hello ! I declare this topic CLOSED because after my best attempt at building the gerwalk ( half airplane half battroid) I realised is impossible😢. one year ago when I built the battroid I glued one leg joint and now is impossible to remove without breaking everything apart... so I prefer to keep the two separate models. day will come when I will complete a gerwalk from a new kit.. thanks for watching and commenting and now let's take a look at what i have on my stash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
