  • Oh the humanity! Will the terrible puns never cease? Nope, not a chance. Heh! When we last met I was in the process of building the legs of the Gundam 00. I’d finished one leg and was starting on the next. Well I’ve finished both legs now and the waist...

  • Sorry, this seemed like a good moment for a Monty Python gag. Actual Gundam assembly pictures after the cut. So amidst various distractions (such as my increasing physical training, including a fell run, and the start of the LARPing season), I’ve been making fairly swift progress with the legs of...

    Paint it black: Gundam WiP – Oh a leg! You’re looking for a leg! I think there might be one back here…..

  • So this is where I am at present, after a few hours work this evening, I’ve assembled the shoulder housing and finished both arms. Assembly is proving to be slow going, partly because everything needs to be repainted to a varying degree once it comes off the sprues. If I...

  • Please forgive me the awful pun. So most of this evening has been spent building and painting an arm. Just the one. These things take time. the photo above is a shot of the arm skeleton in its near nekkid state. This is quite a few parts in and of...

  • Grainy image courtesy of high ISO setting on my camera, which isn’t particularly great but it does the job. Purpose of image…………………..to see the glow! Yup, although the model is far from finished, I had to fit one of the LED lights into it just to see the lighting in...

  • No, I have not been painting my Gundam green. I’ll come to that in a moment. What I’ve been doing with the Gundam, following undercoating, is getting my base colours on. For all the “dark grey” sprues I’ve now spray painted Boltgun Metal and given a wash of Baddab black,...

  • This is my workspace, or my workspace of a few months ago. I’ve made a few changes since then, including a new paint rack from http://www.miniaturicum.de/ who I can heartily recommend. Same room, different angle. Here you can see how deftly I can switch from relaxing while painting, to relaxing...

  •  So this little fellah is finished. Complete he stands about 4.5inches high, so slightly taller than a Space Marine dreadnought but, with decidedly more articulation. Once I’d painted all the bits, he was easy enough to snap together. Almost all the pieces came off the sprues very cleanly and very...

  • So for the past week on and off (mostly off because of illness and “stuff”) I’ve been tinkering away at my Gundam SD (SD = super deformed) kit. I’ve endeavoured to keep things simple and found as things have progressed, that it just isn’t that simple. I started off with...
