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.

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 ››

The final section of this kit is the base. The base was rather tricky to get together, the pieces were very tight to fit and a fair bit of strength was needed for assembly.

For the head armour, I pre-shaded the pieces, masked some detail sections that had Vallejo aluminium sprayed on them, and then did a top coat of Createx pearl white. The pearl white makes for a nice metallic finish that's no overpowering, and also blends the pre-shading very nicely. SAM_0490

So I found this interesting kit from the Chinese company Hobby Crazy on Ebay. It comes with LED lights and looks like it's going to be a fun build. But not yet.... I have RG Destiny to complete.
