Work in progress posts
This is my first resin kit to work with so I don’t have much expertise in this area. Thankfully youtube videos were helpful! Started with cutting parts for the frame and at the same time my other resin kit arrived. As I was curious how parts look like from different resin companies I started to go through Yuiao Land boxes.…
Its time to add details to Bismarck’s decks. I started with small rangefinders and optical devices, resin parts from LionRoar set with photoetched seats 🙂 Then fun part begun… 20mm guns (10pcs) totally made from LionRoar photoetched parts + dedicated Aber brass barrels – honestly I dont like repetitive work – but in this case…
First of many posts to come about ongoing project and my take on 1/100 MG Turn-X Gundam. Project has been in works for some time since I joined the MechaWorks team. It is one of the craziest and over the board designs of Gundam in my opinion. The person responsible for this beautiful industrial design…
2h of masking and 20minutes of painting 🙂 Generally I’m impressed with the result. Superstructure looks fine, of course some correction is needed, that will come later. Now its time to deep-dive into details!!! MORE DETAILS!!!! Bismarck looks cool!
As I started to paint superstructure and let it dry, I looked for a way, how to improve the look of wooden decks. I liked the way, how wood is painted, but it was a bit to gray… I would like to add “more life” to general deck appearance. At first I tried the wash…
Added last part of ”non equipment” details to front superstructure – one Euro for scale reference…It seems like the next step will be painting!
Photoetched parts applied – small corrections is required after painting, specially for extraflimsy railings. Generally I like the way how it looks – cant wait to add all equipment in place. Next step – masking/painting.
Work with superstructure is progressing. My thinking about maritime models was always as a bit of self-punishment type – building all those details, tiny pieces and ”watchmaker-like” work…I got into it today with ammunition lift/elevator part, from LionRoar kit. Manual was straightforward… those few parts took me around 2h to build tiny elevator 🙂 Im…
This is so called – crazy detailed build. A lot of photoetched parts still left – LionRoar set that I’m using has full box of blisters dense with parts. I’m still impressed with level of details and accuracy of those pe parts. After 2 hours – top platform underside is completed. Damn – it looks…
My last models were Gunplas – I enjoyed this kind of model builds a lot – total freedom. Now I switched back to extreme detailed project – this type of model building is a bit simillar to some masochistic practices…. Your doing crazy painful things almost against your will. Those ”things”, that will be close…
