tekering's BItComp entry #1 - Gnerl resin kit
Return To Kit Form replied to tekering's topic in The Workshop!
Looks great Ted! Apologies for the void on the torso - I am not sure how that got through QC I agree with everything you mention WRT pilot colours and thanks for a heads up about that scene. I hadn't noticed that one before. Cheers, Brett -
Actually the VF-1 fighter series are the most difficult to build of the Hasegawa offerings and some people are put off by the bent leg of the clean skin fighter, so an option that is easier to build but with the same details might sell. I am interested to see what the kit looks like but won't be going out of my way to buy one. -Brett

Great pics Peter thanks for sharing! With regard to preparing a resin kit the key is to just get started. I'd argue it is actually easier on a good resin kit than a Plastic kit as there is often fewer seam lines to clean up. To build confidence start by removing the pour stubs. Don't cheap out and try and use an exacto. You spent a few hundred dollars on that kit so spend a few more and get a Modeling saw and handle. Below are similar to what I use. The rest of what you need you probably already have or can be purchased cheaply. A course file, wet and dry sandpaper and sanding sticks. (BTW always cut and sand wet. It keeps the dust down and the water keeps the cutting surfaces clean and gives a better result.) That will get you started and you can build your confidence. If you like start a new build thread in the work shop section and keep us posted. That way if you have any questions we can chime in. So what are you waiting for? GO START THAT NEW THREAD! Because Mike put a lot of effort into designing, patterning and casting that kit. It deserves to be built. Cheers, Brett

1/72 Bandai vf-1A maximilian jenus version
Return To Kit Form replied to Gatsu's topic in Model kits
"Ridden hard and put away wet" I'll bet the ground crew aren't impressed with Max after that effort. Look like he just tangles with Millia on board the SDF-1 Nice build of that kit. It looks much better than the Bandai promo pictures. - Brett -
Is this Moon Shooters scheme the one from Delta?

Whats Lying on your Workbench MK IV
Return To Kit Form replied to Urashiman's topic in The Workshop!
G'day Gabe. PM me the details of the part. I could probably make a mold next time I am at it and cast the part with left over resin. It's what I did with my missing VF-0B part. Brett -
Hasegawa need to release those ground crew as a set...

g'day Grunt, the kit measures 245mm (or 9.6 inches in old money) with the gun folded down as in the above photo. I din't have any comparison pictures yet but her are the hips and legs standing on my bench and surrounded by clutter. Cheers, Brett
