Well, that's a lot of funds to restock the stash with!

Wow, the black paint looks even better. Nice recovery.

That's quite the purge!

I found it on the Hasegawa website. http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/tf915/ Now to find a shop that carries it.

Found this in the stash. It's an old kit that I don't remember when I started. The biggest hurdle is the decals which are old and yellowed. But I recently found that the decals have been reprinted so now I need to track a set down and maybe this'll see more of the bench. Once some other stuff is done.

Hasegawa makes some tinted foil I believe. They're very thin and have some stretch to them.

That's really is supercool.

I think like Kevin said, thin layers and slowly build up the colour is the best approach. Alclad does a smoke tint as well as other colours.

The heat staining looks great to me. Also, nice recovery from the decals issues.

A pile of parts... ...which led to the legs getting done.

Really nice turret. Super clean and sharp masking on the clear part.

Wow, a surprise reaction from the decals, especially since it seems isolated to just the #6 decal. Hopefully you can fix it without too much grief as the rest of the finish looks outstanding. Carl

That's not something you see every day. Great work like Martin said. Carl

It was, last year. Not sure if it sold or got pulled.

There's a house near me that's almost tha ratio. The house is 3 stories and the garage behind is almost as big as the one in the pic.

And there's the rabbit hole I fell down that made me end up binning the two I was working on. Hope that doesn't happen to your build.

Wow, that didn't take long. Great results too.

That looks fantastic.

Very nice finish on the gloss black there Rob. Not the easiest thing to do. As for Ammo being Alclad, I know their primer is made by them so it wouldn't surprise me if their metallics were too.

Thanks Paul! I'm back to the doctor tomorrow to see if the X-rays and ultrasound found anything.

Craziness. I had much less trouble when I ordered from Iwata, even when it had an error in the address. Speaking of Iwata, have you seen the special they have on? https://www.iwata-airbrush.com/hp-c-unpackaged.html?list=Closeout Products

The Wing Gundam shoulders are together now. Which allowed me to attach the arms and head to the torso. A close-up of the head. If you're wondering about the proportions, this is one of the Super Deformed series of kits. That's Bandai speak for their Cute/Egg style models.

A nice simple upgrade there Paul.

That's a fair bit of progress. I only have a couple smaller Modelcollect armour kits and the fit is similar to what you're experiencing. Likewise with the incomplete instructions.

MMM, General Tao's chicken.
