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

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 ››
