New WIP – WWII German Machine Gunner 1/16

Posted on 17 July 2015 by August

I’m building this one for my Father. We’ve seen this model few years back, but never had an opportunity to get it. Recently I’ve got it and made a surprise for my Dad. Now I only have to paint it. It’s Tamiya’s model and as you can imagine – it’s really well done, I didn’t have much work to do while assembling.
Here’s first part of WIP, where I start to work on gun, coat and I did base for this figure.

Enjoy.

New Gallery and WIP – SD Miku

Posted on 30 June 2015 by August

I don’t have much to tell about this one. I tried my best, yet I can’t say I’m 100% satisfied with results. I’ve learnt a lot about airbrushing and found a lot of new reasons to hate it. And varnishes. I hate them so much.
Still I think it was worth it.
SD Miku from GK-Model.
It’s gift for my Friend.
Nice cast, didn’t require much work, fitting was really good – nice kit for beginners.
It’s (mostly) airbrushed with Vallejo Model Colour with addition of Daler-Rowney’s Interference Colours and Alclad2 Prismatic Sapphire.

Enjoy~!

New Gallery – Gwendolyn

Posted on 2 May 2015 by August

I haven’t updated this place for quite a long time, but hopefully it’s going to change.
Since I started full-time job in November – my free time for kits got cut down drastically.
But. I managed to finish this Gwendolyn now and there’s hope for other kits!

She’s contest entry, for our GK group, I couldn’t post pictures earlier due to contest rules.

E2046 recast, not really awesome quality. Kit didn’t include base, I’ve made my own.
Kit is both: hand-painted and airbrushed.
Paints used: Vallejo Model Color acrylics, Dealer-Rowney’s Interference Colour (shimmering blue, shimmering violet), Pebeo Prisme Fantasy paints.
Other materials: Glitter and some crystals normally used for nail decoration.
Crystals made using Copper(II) sulfate (I’ve grown those).

Enjoy!

WIP Gallery Update – Sigrid of the Thorn

Posted on 8 April 2014 by August

*chirp**chirp*

I was busy doing painting commissions, so I haven’t had enough time to work on this one.
Here’s update on crab (which I decided to paint after rainbow crab) and some work on the base.
Aaaaand I still didn’t finish Sigrid’s prep work. Or rather didn’t even start it. Hah. I’m going to try painting her with airbrush (skin, hair) by the way. Did I mention I really don’t like prep work?

Enjoy.

Though it started whole section of Sigrid’s WIP, there’s just a little frog flying on fork. Oh my, this kit is so awesome in such details~!
This time I’m using Winsor & Newton’s acrylics, because I don’t have any good Vallejo’s greens.

I’d post more, but I’m working on drawing commission with tight deadline – that’s my excuse, why I haven’t post anything in March (besides the fact Dark Souls 2 and Diablo 3 expansion came out in March).
Next week I should be able to work more on this kit. And to paint Mr. Crab.

By the way, I exceed 1000 photos on this blog. That’s… Quite a lot, don’t you think?
