The G-Self Display Base fully in color. It was a bit tricky to paint because it’s mostly molded in big size pieces. Some of the colors turned out to be a bit darker than I wanted. Nevertheless it looks pretty nice.
Hello, I need some suggestions on a good portable and oiless airbrush compressor. I’m using a single action airbrush for my model kit painting. I believe it’s a Paasche that I’m using. I’m good at using it since I’m not in need of a dual action airbrush. I need an airbrush compressor that I can take with me if I were to travel and take my model…[Read more]
As promised. Here is the upper half of the Tallgeese EW version. Very fun to do the arms on this kit imo. Any tips on how to remove the nub scars on the hand though?
I am finding my self having trouble with them. or does the final coat hide these?
Looks great! There are a few ways of getting rid of nub marks. Some prefer to cut them off bit by bit with a knife, others sand them down with a course grid and work up to a finer grid.

Good luck and…[Read more]
My 1/32 Volks/ Zoukei-Mura He 219 A-0 Cutaway. It was supposed to be done for the 2013 contest, but got away from me when I decided to do all of the cutaway work. Half of…
I can’t find the words to describe your model. It think awesomely, beautifully and technical perfection sums it a bit, but doesn’t do it justice!
I love it! Hopefully in the future I am able to perform such quality as you sir. Thanks for sharing this piece of art with us!
Hey, I am currently starting to build Crossbone Gundam. hile getting distracted I bore a hole into both shoulder vulcans. It isnt horrible but can anyone point me in the direction of a detailing part that can sit as a barrel of a Vulcan?
That’s a really good question… What I’ve seen on the site is that the few examples I gave you where for 1/100 scale. I’ll dive into it and let you know if I can find some for 1/144
This is really helpful. I am more than likely going to save this for the weekend purchases. I ended up purchasing a brass tube about 1/32in using it for plamo support and detailin
Finished my HGUC The O. I installed an LED inside its backpack, made some chipping effects, applied some decals and attached some metallics parts to it. Hand painted with acrylic paints.

Yeah it was a bit of a process with a fair amount of cutting. I posted some more detailed pics of that process in this thread a little while ago. There is a full detailed WIP on my FB page if you are interested
Hey everyone! Been a little while once again, and thought I would share what I’ve been up to. So I’ve kind of been kind of lazy in terms of getting around to working on my…
Applied some LED and long exposure photo magic to my first Gundam model after a 12 year hiatus. I haven’t seen this effect applied elsewhere. What do you think?
