Hey, I can say that when I painted my Man Rodi I screwed up the colors. Forest Green on the limbs, not counting head, and the Body and Head about the color of a sunflower, only brighter. Also the limbs came out grainy, and the rest has.. small fingerprints and the coat is super thick. I named it the “Mon” Rodi and then realized there was no red…[Read more]
Give me a few days, I’m at University right now, but will be returning home (where my 35+ kits are waiting) this weekend for my mom’s birthday, and I’ll be taking them all to university with me when I return. I’d say saturday at the earliest for pics? Send me a message in a day or two to remind me if you could. In the meantime, plan schemes for…[Read more]
Hey all, I’m debating what style to do. I don’t think I have time to order a kit from Hobby Link, as it usually takes 4-6 weeks, and I don’t think I can afford an expedited or…
Finished the “head” of Hashmal and attached him to the body. He uses a nice amount of parts separation, although a lot of the brown areas are stickers. He kinda looks like a grub like this, it’s fun.
Finished the “body” of Hashmal, I used both grey and black markers in the form of fine tips and pour types. I tried using my pour types more in this build to get into hard to reach crevasses. Very useful for this kit because while this kit is simple, it has a lot of surface detail to be brought out.
I got the Majin Bone Dragon Bone for cheap from a hlj sale, so it’s a pretty good kit for first time painting. I got the individual pieces separated by color, and I’m gonna touch up the frame a bit.
I was getting fatigued from staring at the broken head for forever so I tackled some of the battle damage and the clear condenser, painted the clear part green and cut out a foil circle to stick behind it
Almost a month has gone by and I still can’t decide what to enter the competition with. Here are 2 more kits being considered (in addition to the Tirpitz and Yubari being considered earlier)…..
Out of the 4 you listed, I’d go with either the Hiei or Tirpitz. I’d paint them original schemes and maybe move up to intermediate. Not sure why beginner class = hand painting. IMO, beginners = original paint scheme + no modifications.
Thanks for your comments! Ships are only tricky in that the parts are sometimes very small. But this just adds to their “charm” after its all built and done.
