1/72 Draken III part 1
I'm sure I've said I'd not do another transforming kit as they're such a pain... But this one looked so good I had to give it a go. It's also a decal-hell, and I'll get to that aspect later.
The kit is typical Bandai - nice box, great … Continue Reading ››

1/100 Graze part 4
To rust up the armour, I started by applying some Vallejo natural steel acrylic paint with the end of one of the skewers I use to hold pieces while painting.
By carefully dotting on the chipping you can also build up a really nice texture which will help … Continue Reading ››

1/100 Graze part 3
Continuing on with the Graze, I used the burnt sienna oil paint on the axe and gun.
I used the Uschi powder on the blade edge of the axe, and although it looks good it's way too clean so I'll add more oil paint later to give a look … Continue Reading ››

1/100 Graze part 2
Continuing on with Graze, I put Alcald grey primer on all the armour pieces while I continued to work on the frame.
The plastic on the armour pieces was a bit "sharper" when I snipped it out than the frame. Thinking more on the plastic types, the frame … Continue Reading ››

1/100 Graze
After the clean build on the Zeong, I'm back on the path of oil paints with the 1/100 Graze.
I picked this kit up when it came out. I've not previously built one of these 1/100 kits, but judging off the parts runners and instructions it looks like … Continue Reading ››

Megami Device Assault / Scout
In the style of Frame Arms Girls comes the Megami Device. They look a bit like girl Stormtroopers eh?
The box is lovely with nice use of gloss varnish on the pictures.
I started with the heads. I used Alclad flat … Continue Reading ››

Liko Figure-Rise Bust
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 ››
