Gettin dirty! Really nice scheme.

After some paint mishaps, finally the fun part.

Derex, Nice clean finish. Looks ready for the wash. I guess that wont be transforming ever again.

I think its the texture of your 3D printing that is giving paint issues. We need a solution for that. I am not good at such fine sanding.

Nausicaa is sad you dont know who she is. Go watch it.

Nausicaa and Kai pretty much done.

This is just epoxy and magnets with Leiji Matsumoto Mechanical Series battleships and the Yamato SDF-1. Literally a 10 minute project. I didn't have to customize or damage anything. The nice thing about epoxy is you can peel it off when you want the toy back like new without any problems. But I did micro decal the SDF-1 and add some highlights, but no real painting, just Mr. Top Coat Semi Gloss applied by a pro named TK Mechworks who lives nearby.

Thanks. So that means I need in scale Arcadia and Space Battleship Yamato

Can anyone give me the length of the Daedalus and Prometheus in the Bandai/Imai 1/8000 Strom Attacker kit?

A little home made base. I like it! Needs more work though.

Cool. I would like to try to bring out all those bumps on the Ohmu with preshades and post shades and panel washes after a base coat of color. After a good gloss coat on the base color of Nausicaa, I was able to do some acrylic colored washes that run through all the grooves in the sculpt.

Jetfire custom?

Well, it is a new sculpt, not like the VF-1 from years ago.

Did you ever finish the Mowe?

Probably, but I dont need a yellow stripe and a blue stripe. But I will take an Icarus and VA-1SS Metal Siren for sure.

The 2J is a rare beauty. (I think Macross II is one of the best Macross shows ever. Everyone go watch the subbed uncut version now, or forever hold your peace!!!)

I wonder if this will sell out. Go MacII!!!!

Awesome. Anyone done a Gunship to show?

Yes the Kai sculpt is gorgeous. My problem with the figure is it doesn't have Miyazaki hands

Well, it was a challenge to hide the seem lines. It will need a lot of hand brush detailing. Lets see how I do.

So how do you protect the paint and get your washes on?
