PG RX-78-2

This kit has been waiting a fair while to be built. But even before I bought it, I'd been waiting a while since I first saw it and knew it had to be part of my collection.

Such an unassuming box for such a classic kit.Continue Reading ››

Finishing up Big K: 1/100 Kshatriya

Gallery May 8, 2020 GN Leave a comment

Yes, Big K has been a long time coming.... I've had real issues with the paint sticking to the resin, making masking a real pain and many pieces had to be redone. So rather than drive myself to frustration, I gave the kit a rest and now I've come back to finish it. Continue Reading ››

1/100 UC Kshatriya 4

So after a bit of a break, (check out www.thepolymusicon.com for what I've been working on) I'm back trying to complete this resin kit of Kshatriya.

I looked at the sleeve pieces I'd painted and found that the paint had cracked! But it looks kinda cool, so … Continue Reading ››

Progress is slow on Kshatriya.

I modified the skirt section parts with very small pieces of plastic to close the hole where the ball of the peg sits. This will make the ball joint actually work rather than the ball just fall out. Continue Reading ››

Time to look at paint for Kshatriya. I wanted to go with a more subdued green (for the most part) and to use Tamiya paints (thinned with lacquer thinner) as they're stronger than the Createx pearl green that I used on the Elyn Kshatriya.

Here's the paint … Continue Reading ››

Look what just arrived in the post from SamuelDecal! My experience with resin kits is ancient. Many many (many) years ago I designed and produced a Dr Who resin kit of the "Giant Robot" from the first Tom Baker story "Robot". I scratch built the Robot and cast a small number in resin for … Continue Reading ››

I took this photos a while back in progress on Hi-Nu.

I really like the Createx pearl blue colour. It's not the strongest of paints, so all pieces got healthy coats of Future Finish to protect them.Continue Reading ››

This kit has waited patiently to be built. It's had to wait because first I had to track down the P-Bandai expansion pack, and I was lucky to get help there from a Japanese friend. And then I got hold of the metal parts pack. And then … Continue Reading ››

1/100 MG Gouf

Gallery August 13, 2018 GN 1 Comment

The MG Gouf has been a fun build. The Vallejo chipping Medium has been reasonably successful, and it's made for a much quicker weathering recipe than doing it all with oil paints.

Once I was happy with the chipping I started work with the oil paints. Having … Continue Reading ››

1/100 MG Gouf part 2

Gallery August 8, 2018 GN 1 Comment

Now onwards to see how the chipping medium is going to work!

I want to "chip" in-situ to guide the placement along visible or proud edges, and also to bias the outer sides of pieces or where the armour would rub.
