Pictures Update
I'm trying out an Amazon Basics photo light box rather than try to set up lights and a backdrop to take photos of the models. Photos taken in 8k with a RED Weapon S35 8k camera, and developed with IPP2 image processing. Only adjustment to the raw is to set the white balance to accurately … Continue Reading ››
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 MG Zeong Part 2
Last time we left the MG Zeong with only a few more parts to complete.The thrusters assembled easily and look fantastic because of how they're made. I really like it when parts are separated like this to allow for easy detailing. Continue Reading ››
1/100 MG Zeong
MG Zeong has been in my backlog for ages, so it's great to finally get to build it. It's an older MG, which you can tell by how many screws you have to use to assemble it!The box is large with great artwork. I loved the design … Continue Reading ››
1/100 MG Turn X Concept-X 6-1-2 Gundam Part 3
Onwards with the weathering process I've been in and removed a lot of the oil paint. One thing I find really helpful is taking photos when I blog and viewing them to see how an effect looks.Now we're seeing the texture from the Vallejo steel pain much … Continue Reading ››
