Anything about model building
Dusty Cammy
I picked some stone shards from the neighborhood and sifted through to get the right sized debris for the ground work. I created the dust “splash” with celluclay originally, but it has its limitations and the outcome looks like peeled banana skin 🙂 Then I plastered some Mori2 on top to create more spikes, which… Continue reading Dusty Cammy
Setting the base
Wrapped the I-beams with water putty to get some texture, and smoothed them out. The pillars and beams are kind of set, only a couple more or the base would be too cluttered. The wire mesh around the tilted beam is the support for the splash created by the impact of the beam.
As advertised…
… an update! I’m working on the flying Cammy-chan. I’m always bothered by the I-beam she’s using as support, and I think the only diorama that’d fit is something like a construction site. So here we go. The idea is to have her jumping over some collapsing structures, and she just avoided the danger of… Continue reading As advertised…
Where’s Cody?
Sorry for the month-long absence – usually the months divisible by 3 are the busiest and that means very little modeling activities. I was on the verge of finishing the YF-19 when some decal disaster happened… too bad. But Macross Zero did its job in reigniting my love for the series… its aerial combats are… Continue reading Where’s Cody?
Plaques
It’s that time of the year again, when I have to find wooden plaques to use as bases. When I started out, I used the simplest form of wooden base from trophy shops, which are nicely finished and cheap. You have to find a shop that will sell the plaques without engraving service or any… Continue reading Plaques
Happy long weekend
It’s the memorial day weekend, so may be I can take some time to do some intense modeling. Typically I have more time to do kits in the beginning of quarters, like April, July, October, but less at the end of them. Right now I’m trying to see if my enthusiaism of the finished SV-51… Continue reading Happy long weekend
Macross Zero SV-51 gamma (Nora)
She’s been sitting on the floor, waiting for decaling… poor Nora. So I took a deep breath and finished her Anti-U.N. SV-51 gamma. Due to the pain involved I’ll classify this as a “never again” project 😉 With this kit I’m also testing a simple gallery I wrote – should’ve done this in the beginning… Continue reading Macross Zero SV-51 gamma (Nora)
Macross Zero SV-51 gamma (Nora)
Introduction Scale 1/72 Maker Hasegawa Completed 05/14/06 Retail 2800yen Macross Zero is a prequel to my long time favorite Macross, and chronicled the struggle between UN and Anti-UN force. The SV-51 belongs to the Anti-UN force, and this variation with the flamboyant patterns is piloted by ace female pilot Nora Polinsky. The plane is inspired… Continue reading Macross Zero SV-51 gamma (Nora)
Flying Cammy
I was partially done with the Yukishiro Cammy and was trying to test fit her against her base (yes I should’ve done it earlier 😀 ). Wow! I didn’t realize she was only hinged to the base via her hand. Now her pose makes more sense to me, and I have some ideas about possible… Continue reading Flying Cammy
