1/100 Zerstore part 2

I'm really happy with how the legs came out!

The red details really stand out and make the frame look interesting.

Here you can see the complex mechanics as the knee bends.

1/100 Zerstore part 1

Gallery January 18, 2015 GN 4 Comments

Because I'm not painting the blue or white pieces (actually I'm thinking I might mask the white pieces and paint some grey on them) I started with the small red detail pieces, the hydraulics etc. that I would need done ahead of frame assembly. I went for a classic candy coat combination of Alclad gloss … Continue Reading ››

The recently released Mechanicore Zerstore arrived last week so now that I'm back from my travels I was eager to get inside and see what the kit is like.

The kit is double-boxed with an outer printed cardboard box with carry handle that has a cut-out to show your … Continue Reading ››

SD Neon Zeong part 1

Yes, you read the title of this post correctly! I'm aiming to make a Neon Zeong in all neon colours!

This is my rough idea of where I'm going, just photoshopped over a picture of the SD kit. Main colour is a neon yellow, and I'll … Continue Reading ››

Assembled and ready for some weathering. The kit is gloss coated at this point which is a good surface to paint on some weathering now that the panel lines are dry.

I started with my fine paint brush dipped in water and into the silver on the … Continue Reading ››

Metallic Nano Puzzle RX-78-2 Gundam

I saw these puzzles mentioned online and didn't manage to note in time that HLJ was stocking them, so ended up getting them on a re-stock.

When I opened the package I was surprised to see a couple of rather large instruction sheets. There are two metal … Continue Reading ››

1/60 Patlabor Helldiver part 4

Gallery December 23, 2014 GN Leave a comment

Almost every section of Helldiver has a seam line, and the fit between the two halves is often such that it really needs to be removed.

Continuing on with the legs, I've masked the inner section that's already painted and glued the leg halves together with some liquid … Continue Reading ››

Due to almost every piece needing some seam-line removal, this build is going slowly....

I hand painted on some really thin Tamiya smoke, and then some Tamiya gunmetal for the bands.

The feet were very plain, so once I … Continue Reading ››

Just had a nice big box of goodies arrive from HLJ.

I've never tried these metal "puzzle" kits before, but they seem fun. I've seen Lee Valley sell similar ones for bridges and things. Continue Reading ››

This kit is going to take a lot longer than I thought to complete. There's not many parts, but everything has seam lines! And that means painting the internals, masking, then assembling the armour, removing the seams, masking the already painted internals, and then completing the paint job.
