Color scheme idea so far. I’m also working on the beam effect parts for the wing binders but haven’t quite gotten them right yet. I’ve also put some rotating guns on the shields.
The tugboat has legs!!!
The legs are finished I think , used some spares for the mechanical parts, might add some extra bits later on maybe.
Also clayed some armour around the ankles.
No updates lately but it was mostly putty and sanding. Now I started priming. First priming after me, some more gap filling and almost everything is primed so I’ll start painting soon.
Still need to figure out some things. I want to modify a visor in head and need to work more on a backpack. Will post some updates in this meter.
Not related to the competition but just wanna share
I did this 1/72 Death Star Trench last year. It took me a year to CAD and build this diorama. The tiles were 3D printed. It…
I’m massively behind schedule with this, and with more work on the horizon, I’m pretty sure I’m not gonna finish on time.
Ah well, soldier on.
Fitted some leds in the leg thrusters.
So. We had an incident a couple weeks ago where my dog stole and destroyed the core to my kit. So it was replaced (the kit, not the dog). You can see below that the damage was…
This time i made a back part for the head and used the lid from the comfort bottle and used this with a different lid to make the thigh/hip part.
I put some metal rods through…
The kit is very simple and can be built into a nice model out of the box. Test fit shows no problem, but the wings are a little wobbly at the root and need reinforcement….
I like your plans for upping an egg-plane. Showing skill and still keeping it fun. Also your book has the NINA II on it! That plane was on display where I lived and I saw it weekly. 🙂
I gotta say fellas I’m having some doubts in my abilities and being in the advanced group. I’m planning on making special beam blade effects similar to the crossbone’s…
It’s looking good – are you planning on painting?. And is it going to be fresh-off-the-line or weathered?
Are you in a position to scribe some extra lines on the more plainish of the panels – if weathered they should look good even without more lines – if freshly painted look they might look a bit monochromatic and flat. You can still put very…[Read more]
I’ll be doing it fresh in a light green with dark green as the secondary, ivory highlights, dark gray frame, and metallic details. I’m going to try preshading for the first time. I can scribe but I was also considering adding detailed pla plate on those flatter areas the way I added details to the surface of the wing binders. I have a paint plan…[Read more]
sounds very cool – I’m interested to see that color scheme. I see a lot of models especially VerKa that have a million decals – not sure that I’m a fan. I’m going to do at least one that way but I really don’t see the reason to have quite so many. I think a few decals, especially well places decals, can add to it. Each decal I do seems to take…[Read more]
My colors are based of the Liger Zero Panzer. I might do some stripes or some other patterns by cutting masking tape. I’m a bit worried about clutter since this is a HG. Any suggestions for types of decals I should go for? I’m on the fence on whether I should include any “technical designations” like letters and numbers, or if I should just go…[Read more]
The Hasegawa F-86 Egg Plane will be my entry for the 2017 Modeling Competition. I received the model kit from HLJ in late January but couldn’t find time to start the project. Today I finally started working on it, hopefully I can finish it before the deadline.
Yeah it is fun to mess around with air drying clay and you have a fair bit of time to work with it before it dries,also when it is dry it is fairly easy to sand or clean up with a xacto.
Sweet! I’m a huge F1 fan, can’t wait to see your work.
