Papa Rat

Almost done with this little buddy. needs some dialing in. I want to try out weathering but I’m scared.

@arbitoutstanding!

Prime time over here too. Had a litttle help as usual.

Hahahaha. True true

Totally. That’s why the text should be upside down when held but instead the images show it right side up. Lol

Nice crew right there. Love the Gerwalks!

Yeah and the built sample on the box reflect the decals that way too. Lol

Oopsie is right. Hahaha Here are a few examples of right side up U.N. Spacy is n Hasegawa kits in my stash. I guess it doesn’t matter at all just not sure what to make of it.

One sort of off topic question. Why do Hasegawa kits show the U.N.Spacy right side up on the gun pod when in battroid form? 🤔

@MechTech RIP shadow. We love our furry friends over at my home too and losing such a great buddy can be so devastating. Sorry for your loss. ♥️

Gimme gimme

Looks great!

I have been wanting to build this kit for a while now and finally jumped in today. Test fit is almost done and there are few seam lines to deal with which is making this come together quick. I’m a little concerned about this one being able to stand on its own. Might have to glue it into a static position once I’m done with it.

@Chashahahaha. Yeah it needs a top hat at the very least. I like the idea of tracing out the decals for masking. I just recently got that kit for a decent price and will be ditching the color correcting decals and masking out for the red areas. The first battroid I built was a Hasegawa and I used all the decals for color correcting to see how it would look. It looked sloppy. lol.

Just finished up this fancy lad last night. It’s the first of the VSMS series, 1:100 Daccas The Black Knight. It was a super fun build for me and had a blast trying out some new paints.

Such a great use of materials. 👍

@Big s you’re onto something about Alclad under other colors. I put a clear purple over some Alclad Chrome and it has a really nice effect. Thanks for the heads up.

whoops. Off topic.

@nightmareB4macrossUm…. Amazing! Gerwalk stance is chefs kiss!

Wow! Love it.

Yeah I had no clue. This is a surprise to me since they are labeled lacquer. Anyway, hope it works out.

I do have to say the Alclad gloss black looks beautiful. It does smell like enamel though. 🤔 Regardless I’m liking how it went on in one shot.

Thanks. I had no idea it was so delicate. I guess it’s time to order that aqua clear.

Getting down to business on the VSMS Daccas. Going to try out some new paints on the abdomen which calls out for a black chrome. Very excited! This will be my first go with Alclad. For those with experience, is there anything I should consider when spraying it?
