![]() Member Since: May 10, 2013 ![]() RK: 1 MP: 0 ![]() ![]() | Sunday November 17, 2013 8:07 PM Yeah, I know. I am the same way. I think they have some of the best minis out there. Very little, to no mold lines, fit is always spot on, and the detail on the new plastics is fantastic. If I have any complaints, it's that the minis are a little foo skinny, very few bulky ones, which makes for small glue points. Anyway, I got the Spaz done, not too bad, I think the crazing did effect it a little bit. Also I think I would get a smoother finish using an airbrush, instead of the rattle can. Will post a few photos here, but the phone camera doesn't show the effect very well. ![]() ![]() ![]() You may notice a shiny gray band on one of the arms and tencles, I managed to break these off while removing the masking. When I glued them back on there was a small gap, so I filled it with a homemade recipe of old sprues and liquid cement. ![]() So will have to smooth these out and put a small bit of primer and he'll be ready for the next phase, brush painting. Big thanks to Meg Maples for the tips on using the Spaz, check out her blog, lots of good stuff. Might take this model to AdeptiCon with me and show her, and get some feed back. Oh, there's a link to her blog in an earlier reply from Yaumasta, seriously check her out. Till next time......

Between work, computer problems, and family, I,ve had zero hobby time. I still have tomorrow, and no commitments, so it,s early to rise and no stopping till I am finished. Have my MD and coffee ready to keep me going, fingers crossed.Sarge "If you ain't CAV, you ain't!!" |
