Papa Rat

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?

♥️

Looks great. Fun watching this take shape.

I’m on a roll. Been sick for a few days so why not. My first space chicken is coming to a close. I want to slap a matte finish on it and call it good. Such a fun one I think I need to do another. Thinking the Scout version. Also thanks @Big s for the lens hack idea. It worked out great in the end.

Thanks. Sounds great!

@Big s @Bolt Just got email confirmation that the VF-1S is ready to ship! The only Battroid kit I have any experience with is from Hasegawa. I’m very excited to see how this version is separated out. Now do I wait to ship until I see if those Bandai Armored core kits finally show up in my warehouse since I preordered them last June. lol.

Thanks. the 1/144 SR1 had a great fit, no gaps and very little seam removal needed. I am curious about the 1/100 wave releases but like you said, there are $$$ so I haven’t jumping in yet. I’d love to see your build when you finish.

Thanks for the info.👍

Do y’all have experience with HLJ and their preorders? I got in on the VF-1S before the order stop but didn’t receive a notification of having one for my private warehouse. Fingers crossed.

🎉 So exciting! I haven’t built a Plamax kit yet and have been trying to find a 1D for a good price. No luck yet.

Hey, thanks. Tiny and fiddly fits the bill, but still ended up being a fun kit to build. Might need to take on the IMS version sometime. 🤔

1/144 wave SR1 Engage coming to a close. I think it came out OK. I’m having the worst time with dust and debris in my paint. Really annoying when going for high gloss look. Anyway, this build just needs a few decals and then it’s time to finish up that Hasegawa Regult that has been sitting in its box primed and ready for paint. Feels good to be building again.

The joys of building with and or for your child is the best. I set up a small bench next to mine for my kid. They are rocking out entry grade kits for now but interested in more complex builds. Such a fun hobby to share with loved ones. ✌️♥️

Getting closer to wrapping this one up. Just need to gloss it up, panel line/decal and glue it together. Having a blast with it but still struggling on proper air brush techniques. Doing a bit of candy color on the purple cockpit

That’s great. I’ll check out Mandrake. Thanks.

Chefs kiss. Wow!

Good catch. Ouch. That’s going to leave a mark.

I’d also like to see a tomahawk make a return. Can’t pull the trigger on the wave kit going for $120 or whatever on eBay.

I need to watch it start to finish. That being said, I have watched the beautiful battle between Milia “Miria” and Max lit by muzzle flashes multiple times.

Those look great. Never seen them before. 🤔

Congrats to you too. Feels good to clean off the cobwebs and dive into it. Also thanks for sharing your story. What a steal on that Destroid! Never know what you will find. I see that VF-1J sitting there. I also have a couple of those Armored Valkyries waiting in the wings. The VF-1J and 1A. Very excited for those big boys.

Finally got my basement bench up and running in our new place. I have a 1:72 Regult I need to finish up but got sidetracked by this Wave Corp FSS 1:144 Engage SR1. All primed up and ready to rock. Armor already has first layers down with a little purple crystal color on there cuz we are fancy around here. Haha Not much to see I suppose but I’m just sharing my joy of getting back to work on some kits. ✌️

Wow! Amazing work ♥️
