Macross 1/144 - SDR-04 Phalanx Mk XII - [almost finished]

My first resin kit the Yellow Submarine 1/144 scale SDR-04 Phalanx Mk XII which is almost finished if only i could make decals. Printing the homemade decal is fine, what i have a problem with is creating what i want on the computer due to lack of any sort of draw program.

Still the Plalanx looks fine with out the the big M's on the missile tubes, though to me it will only be finished once there applyed.


Decided to make a little dio of the destriod as if it being postioned ready for some sort of daedalus attack.

BOMBAA!! Monday 31st August Wip

Started working on Nekki Basara's VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie, don't know why but i got the sudden urge to start this.

Almost finished the Phalanx with a little display for that one, make it looking like it being guided into a position for a Daedalus Attack.



F-14 practically done, all that's needed the canopy to be fitted and the mustang just needs a few little tweaks before it complete. Wanting to make a display for both of these if i can.

Saturday 8th August 2009 WIP

Only spent a couple hours working on these this week but for some reason in that short time i got quite a lot done.

All the basic paint work done on the Phalanx and Kakizake Super VF-1A, bit of tidying up, decaling and then weathering should get these 2 done. From a birds-eye view im surprised how good the Valkyrie looks.



Got the white stripes painted onto the Pioneer mustang and the F-86 Sabre is practically done i think until i notice something ive mist.



The Wildcat IV is finished i think, big mistake with this is that i got super glue under the canopy which as ruin that giving it the dreaded misted look, might paint the window black to disguise that mistake.

Thurday evening turning into night WIP

Got quite a bit done tonight, all getting ready for some painting at the weekend i hope. If it rains then modelling with be a defiant.



Taken me quite some time to get the Phalanx ready, as i now know that this is a recast that means allot of flash and allot of sanding then putty then sand again.

Received various size of display bases yesterday to see how big these wearing for little diorama, going to have the Phalanx being guided by a little technician to the front for a Daedalus attack.



All the part for Skull squadron are ready to be painted, another lot of putty than Sand with these, took me almost a fortnight and most of the sanding was done outside in the sun so avoid lots of dust on the other models.



Trying to detail up the F-14 tomcat as much i can witg the Revell kit, should have taken a photo looking toward the intrucment panel so to see all the decal inside with a little paint i added, can just see them on the left side.



Almost completed Revell Eurofighter Typhoon and Academy Jaguar, use the micro set on these two and the stuff is really amazing, really makes the decals look like they are painted in, couple of clear coats and a bt more weathering and the should be done. Wonder if should make little dioramas for these?

[Kit Review] - Yellow Submarine 1/144 - Macross SDR-04 Phalanx Mk XII -

First resin kit i will build and a SDFM Destroid to start with, awesome! Yellow Submarine, from what information ive found are or where a model making company who make some cool kits from anime in Japan. They really created a excellent range of 1/144 Macross kits which i ruddy hard to find, especially the VF-4. Managed to get all 4 destroids from SDFM but suspect there recast.

Going to have to find out about using this resin, how to sanding it, paint it an then how to make it look decent when finished.

Here some great information about the Phalanx: http://www.new-un-spacy.com/sdfmacross/destroid-phalanx.htm



Hopefully it will turn out like this, wicked 80's illustration.

Going to have to make my decals, bet that will be harder then using the resin.

Until next deculture!
