The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Rock replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits

Pre-4th push to clear off the table before the party. One. Last. Push. Kit was missing the 3 of the little weapons attachment mounts so a little styrene, a drilled hole, some paint and "Voila!" Waiting on the rain to stop and then were off to final topcoat and just the base. So ready to move on.

'Cause that is the lame pose China has for the statue it is based on. Why they don't just make the statue's arms (on any of them) support a hollow rifle and shield (or beam sabers) so they don't look so weird IDK. I'm guessing it is something to do with guns and children so they omit them.

Just a heads up, you can buy Self-Etch bare metal primer at and auto parts store if you need it. Much mor economical than buying Mr. Color's tiny cans and shipping them. Mist on a coat, and then paint as normal. If your airbrushing besure to clean that gun after each use too!

I really want that IWSP but, only of I could track down a Rouge. Strike Noir should be interesting. The MG Noir amd Aile are very different in the limbs even if the design is similar. Would do well to set up Akatsuki too!

They skipped about 15min into the video for us. When they rewinded it there was about a 10min preview reel shown for other fanthom events such as MiB, Ghibli and Transformers followed by a bunch of Expo event dates and then a slightly modified into with the same add following it. Post movie had 3 music video shorts that were 3d animation.

I am curious what the Jagd Mirage will look like with the GTM treatment. So far I've hated almost all the redesigns. But, the base green monster is already very anorexic for FSS, matching the newer GTM styling que's.

Tried out the recently more popular WAVE Tan and Gray Pla-Plate. Been using Evergreen Styrene for the past 20 years due to WAVE and Tamiya's product not being local. My mind is a bit blown. The stuff (especially the tan) cuts literally like butter compared to the 20 passes (with a fresh blade) it takes to get through the same thickness (1.5mm) of evergreen's product. Being able to work without having to dread lengthy cutting/chiseling/scribing sessions is just the boost I think I need to get back at it.

Nikke's back at it with a 1/20 VF-25F converting and detailing to the Armored Pack with Ozma! -
Grabbed part 2's tickets. Seems like the same fans already pre-ordered their seats. Exact same seats were taken already!

The audio was in surround but. There was very little use of it. On part that stood out was when Ranke/Sheryl where chasing Ai-Kun before Alto junps in. Might as well have been stereo through a sound bar. No adds here, just the girl's thank you bits, and a microphone promo at the beginning. A static fanthom event card after the credits... not even a date, trailer or hint for part 2's showing.

Correction only 4 others...

Only 7 people showed up for the film here.

LMAO. The only thing ready to go in my warehouse is a 25 pack of knife blades for like >100yen... The emails are nonstop of their warehouse space shortage, shipping crisis, and such. Toss the damn things in the trash HLJ- I'm not fedex-ing or EMS shipping a single pack of blades. Never a thank you email for the 30,000yen in preorders I've got loaded to go though... If the base figure didn't look like an early 90's action figure I'd be interested in grabbing a Ranka, since there aren't to many figures of her (hurry up Megahouse!) But, alas-

Yep, Domo arigato gozaimasu! Won't be inverted in the end. The acrylic stand happened to be a super useful tool during the build process to hold the plane without having to rest it on anything and risk damage. I might have to make another for this in the future but, a little lower so it is easier to steady my hand on the base/table/floor when detailing. Jets aren't glued. I still need to decided to either cut back the rods so the bird is more inline with the base or drill into the fuselage and sink them further inside. Right now it is very stable with them as they are but I'm not sure once weapons are received so that is up next. I may also raise one side of the stand to create a more interesting display. I really like the overhead look showing the F-15E's arsenal. Speaking of

Sanded back with some rescribing to keep some of the detail a little heavier for the next stages following the gunk wash, gloss, decals, gloss, filter and highlight coats. We on the downhill slide boys!

Close. Thinner is a bit hard to control IMO. It doesn't take much for a wet spot to ruin your streaking. I'll let it be for now until washes are complete. If need be I'll try doing similar to your technique but using sandpaper. Lightly wet sanding away the gray with 600-800g. That should be easier to control and do without the risk. It may not even need it. Just important to keep going and learn from it as the amount of aircraft I enjoy in black and dark grey schemes is too damn many! lol

Hope everyone is having a restful holiday. Just got rid of the family and got a good amount of work in. Using AK's Medium Gunship Grey and their F15 Grey. The F15 grey has a warmer tone while the GGG has a more teal look to the color. I'm not to happy but, kind of expected the result. The grey just hides me pre-work all to well which is why I went for such a high contrast base effect. Hope the darker post work and washes get it where I want it. Live and learn.
