The mighty Neo Zeong continues to come together....

I decided to use some sticky silver foil on the sections that go under where the arms come out, rather than the included white sticker. Here the front section is still missing as it is being re-painted. Continue Reading ››

It's always a nice point in a build when you have enough pieces painted to do some assembly.

The central grey section of this main "horn" piece had been under the masking tape while I completed the red paint. Now the masking is off I used some … Continue Reading ››

I just got some new paint in the post from Curry's art store in Toronto.

I have some ideas that require fluorescent paint, so I picked four colours to try from the Createx Auto Color line.

And because I … Continue Reading ››

Now that the stand is ready, and I've got a good number of pieces complete I can really begin to assemble and see the size of this beast!

It's big! The fuel tanks were a tight fit to push into place, but the main structure felt strong … Continue Reading ››

In possibly what is the slowest build ever, progress continues!

I thought it time to get the stand assembled to help me with the build.

I'm running out of space to keep the large pieces. Here I've got the … Continue Reading ››

There's no specifically blue plastic pieces on this kit, so small uses of blue can serve as great contrast to the mass of red.

Here on the main skirt thrusters, I uses Tamiya metallic blue on the outside, Alclad chrome on the inside, with a small amount … Continue Reading ››

The progress is not surprisingly slow on the big Neo Zeong. There's lots of masking involved as the large pieces are just crying out for the added detail that I can bring through selectively painting different sections.

These are from the front of the kit, and I … Continue Reading ››

Neo Zeong progresses slowly....

As I was already working on the fuel tanks, I decided to do a few more of their pieces. This is the base, with rockets that I did with Tamiya clear red over Alclad chrome.

Continuing on with the build, I'm starting with some pieces that I want to mask and detail up, or that will need fix-up work.

All these pieces are getting Alclad gloss black undercoat so I can go wild with the Alclad metallics on top - polished brass … Continue Reading ››

I'm still trying to fine-tune the settings for the new site layout and theme. It appears that text isn't wrapping right and the main content area isn't working quite how I want. I'll give it another go tomorrow and see if I can't get it working the way I want. Ok, I think this is a … Continue Reading ››
