Just a few close-ups after doing more minor weathering. The last two are a little blurry, but I guess that’s a good way to keep any bit of suspense till the finale? 😀
By we I mean my girlfriend and myself as we do F1 kits together. It’s her thing but I’m giving a helping hand in painting and decaling when she’s stuck.
If I understand correctly, X2 and al of the Crossbone GunPla in general are about the same suze as the Victory/F91 Gundams so I’d say that the 3.0 hands would be too large for it. Some say they are too large for the 3.0 itself but you can give it a go, see how it fits. Ad for the fighter planes, her brother’s into them. 😀 I even offered to help…[Read more]
It’s all right. 🙂 I was thinking of making the 3.0 hands smaller, but’s a lot of unnecessary work that would probably diminish the usefulness of their design. Just for kicks, I put sticky putty in to connect the 3.0 joint to the hand and well…it looks terrible. 😛

Also, I haven’t been sold on the lacquer paints either. I’m an avid user of enamel paints, since they…[Read more]
Not to belittle what he’s accomplished here, but masking and painting multiple colors on a part isn’t exactly an “advanced” technique. It’s pretty basic. 🙂
thanks, I’ve been thinking to submit this in advance,but the kits alone won’t cut it, maybe with a diorama base. still don’t have any idea though, plus this delicate kit worsen with the addition of the multicolor paint. cant do much with the posebility
maybe a scene with your jet flying at a steep angle to the sky, with fast strafing clouds in the background (picture of clouds photoshoped), glowing cones from the afterburner and contrails at the wings ends turning in spirals backwards (which indicates the jets flying in a spiral – to compensate missing posibility).…[Read more]
