[spacemouse1]

That is awesome !!!

[chino0moreno]

Its fucking nice dude, congrats!

[Roehann]

seems to be made to be true

[KaralynAD]

Impressive, where did you get this?

[msederquist]

@KaralynAD I purchased the gunship at Target on clearance and then custom painted.

[bioniclesean]

How old are you?~ when you did this?

[msederquist]

@bioniclesean Well, this would have been about 2.5 years ago, so that would have made me around 36 give or take..

[tokman20]

with some paint, time and talent, a kids toy can transform into an awesome collector's item :D

[wanshei]

Nice paint job, love the weathering effects you put on it.

[TheAnamies]

i think the comic pack firefly wont hit the right fig because hi legs are prettty long...

[muska802]

It looks like the helicopter from ultraman!

[TheAnamies]

can you get a gi joe fig inside that?

[msederquist]

@TheAnamies Yes, but it's a very tight fight for them. In the AMP suit I did I used an early 2000 release GI Joe figure and it barely fit.

[ninigik]

lol

[benbrez116]

i can has?

[moonav]

if someone gets a flying Valkyrie Shuttle RC model ill be really impressed :P

[Gundamluverx]

Now that looks like it's ready to slaughter some Xenos, well made!

[rkttkr]

The best looking one I ever seen. Your painting of this is so..so.. militarily  eye catching- as well as the music. Hey I see I am not the only one that uses a large baking sheet-lol.

[msederquist]

@rkttkr Thank you, as you know us customizers cannot live with plastic like toys =) Loved your surfer btw!

[MrMcDugan]

Would you custom paint one of these for hire? I'd like to have one with the Na'vi war paint like Trudy did at the end of the movie.

[msederquist]

@MrMcDugan Possibly, send me a private message with your ideas. We would have to secure one of these, and I would need a few weeks but it could be done.

[OutPunchedProduction]

@MrMcDugan DId you ever get a custom painted one?

[theGoannaMan]

Hi to anyone who is reading this comment in Australia, I was just wondering, has this toy been sold in Australia at all? Because I am having so much trouble finding the damn things. Please reply if you have an answer.

[msederquist]

@theGoannaMan Well this actual one went to Melbourne if I remember =) but yeah, I but I don't believe it was ever released there officially.,

[megatron915]

i thought in the movie behind of the cock pit there was a area for passengers to sit?

[msederquist]

@megatron915 Yeah the scale of this toy is way off. The one figure barely fits. In the movie, it's more of a Gunship design with pilot and gunner. I would like it better if it was up to scale.

[TheFirstUtopian]

That's an awesome paint job man. Wish mine was like that. 5 stars!

[CopperheadReunion]

Dosn't look custom. it looks like you just bought it.

[msederquist]

@CopperheadReunion That's the goal =) Though if you see the high rez pics you'll see all the extra details.

[whik8]

im just sayin the movie scorpion is better than halo3's hornet...halo's sucks

[aquastan2]

How much does he cost?

[msederquist]

@aquastan2 The toy cost around $25 dollars, though it sold on ebay for much more after it was customized.

[AfghanKnight007]

Hi, is it a model or rc? thanks

[msederquist]

@AfghanKnight007 It is the Toy which was available at many retail and online stores. So it's neither a model or RC.

[rafys78]

Your an inspiration!

Q : Spray or handbrush?

[msederquist]

Thanks for the kind words!

The Gunship is painted in a combination of both spray and brush. I first do a base coat in a special Krylon then go over it with dry brushes and washes to build up the detail.

[TheSolitaryPoet]

I think the new paint gives it more scale; it almost looks real. Nice job.

[MTERM775]

NOw that is awesome!!!

[CrazedBonana]

Its like an exact replica.................

[bavariantuner325is]

Nice work! What type of paints did you use to get that look? I'm going to do one myself.

[msederquist]

Hello!

It's a combination of several layers of Polly S acrylic paints over a base of Super flat olive drab from Krylon.

[sk8lakemount]

is that runescape music

[msederquist]

No idea sorry. It's part of the "free" music that Youtube provides when you audio swap. It's better then most of the tracks available from youtube though which is nice!
