Very nice battle damage! Great job.

That looks great. What technique did you use to make the holes?
Abdul Rahim Al Moustapha replied 9 years, 7 months ago

Thanks both @Big Rich it was done using a soldering iron, easy to manipulate and the results as you see are great

Hey All, Planning to paint a kit as part of a group build the HG Gerbera Tetra, i only have access to Revell Acrylic paints and no airbrush (ie.

1. it’s a PIA.
2. reason it’s a pia is you basically have to thin your paint out, and then brush it on in super thin layers. while won’t be perfect, will make it easier if you avoind going over panel lines

  If you only can paint by hand because of your situation, then I think the best way to avoid obscuring panel lines is to paint using only dry brushing, it’ll ofcourse be a very slow and tedious process to paint a whole kit that way but drybrushing is very good for 2 things or rather avoiding two things, not leaving brush strokes and not obstructing detail.

Funny how one mans trash is another mans treasure. 1/100 scale, right? I have an HG 1/144 space type, painted it metallic blue. It was on a huge sale at the moment, down by some 70% or so so I bought it, together with Beginning Gundam which I bought only because it was on sale too. Both kits came as a huge surprise to me. To date that Beginning…[Read more]

I’m sorry there has been a slight malfunction and images in this “What are you building “ group have been deleted, but only images posted in the last 48 hours. It was more user error than anything else, and won’t happen again. You can repost again or post new images of what you are working on. Really sorry about this ☹
