I no longer have the ability to mold new ones, as my heat gun died some time back and finances are so tight now (thanks to tariffs and such) that buying even model cement is impossible. No, I have no materials for that; all I have now is what is on hand. We're now in "survival mode". Once I run out of supplies, my modeling is over. We just got word today that we may not even have a place to live in the months to come. It's that bad. Anyways, this is going on indefinite hiatus, and possibly disposal, as we now need to make some hard choices. Sorry to bother everyone. I do truly hope things change for you. It sounds terrible and I really wish you the best and a whole lot of luck. Quote

derex3592 Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago AK Real Color F-15 Modern Eagle 🦅 Gray went down this morning and it's very nice paint, however nowhere near as dark as I was thinking it was going to be, so tomorrow morning I will start laying down light coats of Vallejo Medium Gunship Gray and see where we end up! Stay tuned! Quote

SteveTheFish Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago My Rei and Asuka sofubi figures are coming along. I used dark blue pastel chalk to do the recessed areas of Rei's hair and an acrylic goache mix of burnt umber and red to do Asuka's hair. Then I did a flat clear coat of V-Color to seal them in. I think I'm ready for assembly now. Quote

Stay tuned! I like the overall tonal shifts you have in the paint as it is. I think hitting it with some dark panel lines would set it off well and balance it all out. Hope the darker gray works out for you. 6 hours ago, SteveTheFish said: My Rei and Asuka sofubi figures are coming along.

Had a slight mishap with the flat coat ( first try went cloudy) the remnants of which can be seen as shadowing on the left side of the very top at the front. Still not too bad. Just gotta do up the tiny Valks and Monster and place them on it somewhere. Edited 42 minutes ago by Chas Quote
