Hi guys Thought I'd throw my hat in the ring with the Votom St-Tortoise from the 1980s tv show. Its a nice kit, a little toy like but it goes together well and leaves plenty of scope for upgrading. There are plenty of big join seams which need sanding but it will all be worth it! Also the...

Hi guys Heres my latest build, Revells GTK Boxer. I airbrushed it in lifecolor green and hand painted in the NATO camo, then weathered it with a wash of thinned ak rainmarks, the rest of the weathering was using lifecolor earth yellow thinned heavily with water to create a very flat dried mud...

I Guys Another day another project! Been doing a lot of military stuff the last few months so I thought I'd have a crack at an Ma.k Fliege that I had in the stash. As it's a space based suit I wanted to do something portraying low gravity on the surface on another planet. I painted up the...

Hi Guys This is a new outing for me but I fancied a change and must admit I fully enjoyed just painting a kit with no real construction involved for a change. This was all done with acrylics the lenses were topped with Ranger glossy accents to make them look glassy I'm not an expert on bust's...
