Life is busy! But that's a good thing. It just means I don't have much time for painting or assembling models. I'm working on a kit for a friend, and that's going to take a while, but I'm sure it's going to look good. Then I really want to get the Macross Delta kits of … Continue Reading ››

Liko Figure-Rise Bust

Gallery October 3, 2016 GN Leave a comment

I enjoyed both seasons of Active Raid, but the star of the show is Liko, a computer search agent who also stars on the end credits.

Liko is one of Bandai's new range of Figure-Rise busts. I have also got the Macross Delta Walkure busts to build, but I … Continue Reading ››

1/72 Zoids Zero Liger Part 2

Completing the head, I could see this was going to be a great build.

I was unsure about the colour scheme, but I could see that the dark grey was really going to work well once I got these first sections assembled.

1/72 Zoids Zero Liger

I got the Zoids Zero Liger 1/72 kit a while back and it's been sitting there tempting me to build it.

I started with the red pieces, and I used my now classic combination of Createx pearl red with a top coat of Tamiya clear red. I always … Continue Reading ››

I'm very happy with how the GunHed is working out, so I decided to do a display base diorama for it.

I'd recently bought some very large sheets of styrene, so I was all set to go. I did a quick mock-up in Sketchup, but rapidly ditched the … Continue Reading ››

The process of adding the oil paint is a long and slow one. You can only do a little at a time or else you risk disturbing an area already complete.

I wanted to keep the oil "live" as long as possible to allow for adjustments. Once you … Continue Reading ››

The next stage in the painting was to add some variations to the colour of the rust. I mixed up some cadmium orange oil paint and started work.

The oil paints I have are ancient. They still work great though, even if I do have to use a … Continue Reading ››

The underpainted chipping shows through the colour paint layer quite nicely. This is not going to be the actually chipping, but it serves to break up the flat colour and to act as a guide for where the actual chipping will go.

For the actual chipping I started … Continue Reading ››

GunHed is progressing well. Since last time, I put down a black oil wash into all the crevices and panel lines. Once that was dry, I tidied it up with a cotton bud pulling off the oil where it wasn't wanted. To protect it, I put on another layer of Future Finish varnish.Continue Reading ››

I bought the GunHed kit quite a while back in the Hobby Link Japan sale. It's taken me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with it, and when I finally got the inspiration, I also had to develop the techniques I'd need, hence the Muv Luv kit. Continue Reading ››
