Was bothered by the empty space inside the hands now that I converted all of them to movable fingers, so I savaged the landing gears from my millennium falcon kit to fill the void. Also used the BMC side scraper to create a number of edge details. I wish I could restart painting soon, but… Continue reading Neo Zeong hands
Adding panel lines
Neo Zeong doesn’t have much surface details therefore scribing panel lines is a must. After some trial and error, finally got the hang of using the chisel to create the recessed details.
No best of both worlds
I installed the WordPress app which allows me to create a post and use my phone to snapshot my WIP photos at the same time, which is awesome. This means I’ll have more updates in the future now that posting isn’t super painful. However one disappointing aspect is the inability to photo edit. Just simple… Continue reading No best of both worlds
Neo Zeong Fingers II
I don’t know why I still have the will to carry this through, but I do! Spent the weekend creating panel line and recessed details in the fingers… all 30 of them! I’ll have 4 of the funnel bits floating. When they are detached, they open up and extend into 3 shards. Now I’m going… Continue reading Neo Zeong Fingers II
Neo Zeong fingers
Its painful to do this 30 times! But the fingers is one mod I didn’t see a lot of, and the illustrations of NZ always comes in a certain way. Also planning to install ball joints at the bases of the fingers rather than the fingers themselves… I think that’s the way NZ was always… Continue reading Neo Zeong fingers
CA melting ABS?
Building the monstrous Neo Zeong, but I have now twice have plastics disintegrating via running CA and some pressure… what’s going on? It seems the ABS plastic just doesn’t react well to CA and they become very weak. That’s really sad! Stuff seem to stablize though after the CA cures.

IMS #7: Terror Mirage from Volks
I haven’t bought any hobby magazines for years and suddenly gotten the urge after blogging about my Black Knight. Well what do you know, people don’t put interesting ads in them anymore! I was in particular hoping to learn what Volk’s next Five Star IMS kit is, but could only find that online, that it’s… Continue reading IMS #7: Terror Mirage from Volks
Liger Zero Panzer – Zoids – 1/72 HMM Kotobukiya model kit
There is only one reason I like this kit: the missiles! I’m a missile freak and the more the better. Having just finished the MG Black Unicorn Norn, I finally found my motivation to finish up this painful kit by continuing with the “lion” motif. The abundance of missiles also meant the blow up in… Continue reading Liger Zero Panzer – Zoids – 1/72 HMM Kotobukiya model kit
RX-0(N) Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn – 1/100 Master Grade MG – Black

I still can’t believe I’m conned by Bandai to this extent, alas. May be I should just do the normal Black Unicorn with the giant claw and complete the collection, haha. The Banshee Norn is one of… Continue reading RX-0(N) Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn – 1/100 Master Grade MG – Black
