Late hobby progress is still progress
Lately, the weather doesn't help with the painting, but here's some of the progress the last few weeks. Since the weather has been crappy for airbrushing and spray cans (that and I'm out of Tamiya Flat White and hobby shops are out. And I am don't like to mix paints ever since the "incident"). Since the tekkaman blade resin kit had to be put on the back burner, I decided to work on a simple kit.
Thats where the Digimon Reboot- Omegamon kit came in. I snipped and cleaned parts long ago so that made the prep and assembly a breeze. Still, this kit screams to have some metallic paint work done to it and me being me, I couldn't resist ^^;
I eventually gave in and started using part of my bathroom as a spray booth since it has a fairly powerful fan to suck up all the nasty fumes and such.( clean up still sucked though!!!) I eventually went back to work on the resin kit as well, but still couldn't work on the whites so I ended up working on some of the other metallic colors since I was in a "metallic mood."
Hopefully, the weather will clear up soon( and my local shops will restock paints) so I can get back to finishing up these kits. Jeez, I've had the Tekkaman Blade kit for since last year and I've been working on it on and off for a year! Talk about snail speeds, BUT. I. FINISH. THIS.
i really wanted to get this kit but the sword turned me away...it must be a pain to paint?
I was a little apprehensive about that aspect as well, but since it has alot of separated layers- painting is actually pretty easy. Any of the usual basic tricks about painting with plasmo or gunpla really help here( wiping over-paint with thinner dipper paper or scratching paint with hobby knife,etc.) Hopefully, the end product won't make a liar out of me,heh ^^;
must be nice being so talented
lol, Coming from the person behind all those great stop motion videos, I'll take that as a compliment. and uh, cybermen,cough*, cough* , though claymen are still fine I think.
Well I wish i was good with my hands in painting and sculpting.
