kpnuts Posted April 20, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 20, 2020 Hi all well it was supposed to arrive on the 30th, lucky me it arrived early. What a great kit I've not used one drop of glue the fit it purfect (only downside is the kit has stickers instead of decals). I'm going to depict it rotting in a field I've read these tend not to rust much but I will be adding some. This will really stretch my skills as my normal rusting techniques are done exclusively with enamels and pastels, obviously I cant use enamels on this plastic so will have to adapt and invent. I've made a start on the weathering, I really think I will enjoy this first forage into gundam. mtaylor, Ryland Craze, Edwardkenway and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmagna Posted May 2, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 2, 2020 Nice work KP he looks like he has been dutifully guarding the patio, standing ready to do battle in the garden. Is he actually able to convert to aircraft mode or is he just a figure?

lmagna Posted May 2, 2020 Share #8 Posted May 2, 2020 Yes you did................... But I will let you get away with it this time. Too easy of a target.😈 (The last time I caught someone doing that was Mark. I did have to email him and point out his wording though. It was too funny to let pass.) mtaylor, Egilman, Edwardkenway and 2 others 5 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
