    No I did not, just used gloss paint. I got some Future, but I wasn't sure if it was the right kind and didn't want to risk it as the model was turning out much nicer than I expected. First time using the Microsol, so still learning.

    1/100 Macross Valkyrie VF-1J

    Thanks, guys! Attacked the decals with gusto. There were lots and lots of tiny decals, and they were super old... they probably wouldn't have stuck without Microset. Anyway, it was my first time using Microset and Microsol, and I'm loving them! But, of course, ran into a few issues. I was...

    1/100 Macross Valkyrie VF-1J

    I had to take a few weeks off from this project... I got sick of looking at it, and the painting stage always intimidates me... its make or break! Anyway, got back in, primed, painted gloss white (in preperation for decals and panel lines) and got the painting done. Went with a light grey for...

    1/100 Macross Valkyrie VF-1J

    Thanks, guys! I guess I wasn't ready for paint quite yet... I forgot that I had to reposition the gun. Cut out the hole in the hand, cut down the gun handle, positioned, filled the gaps and missing parts with green stuff. Also added the nub for the gun strap to attach to. And here's a...

    40k Ork Mini-Stompa "Raidah-bot"

    This is a project I've been working off and on for a few months. I friend of mine had given me a old beat up land raider... I was looking to build an Ork Battlewagon. I looked online for some ideas and ran across the Russbot which inspired me to build this... may I present the Ork Raidah-bot...

    1/100 Macross Valkyrie VF-1J

    Quick update. Added panel lines to the top of the torso and shoulders. And to the fronts and backs of the feet. I tried using a little line scribing tool (the hooked dentist's pick type), which was really a challenge. I used that for the torso bit. For the other areas where I could just...

    1/100 Macross Valkyrie VF-1J

    Thanks for the encouraging words, Grendels! I've decided to not worry about painting for now and just assemble it. I really want to try some weathering effects, so I'm planning on modelling this as a late war Valkyrie, after they return to Earth. Maybe it spent a lot of time on long patrols...

    1/100 Macross Valkyrie VF-1J

    Got just a few minutes last night to futz around with this. Dry fit the arms and legs together and found that from most angles you can see into the hollow structure and see the back side of the parts and the guide pins. Anyway, I cut some plastic card to fit into the voids to hide the...

    1/100 Macross Valkyrie VF-1J

    Got a couple more short sessions in working on this thing. The more I look at it the less of a fan I am of this kit. The proportions of the model seem to be all wrong... the body seems short and stumpy, the legs too long, and the backpack and folded wings on the back are too small. The model...
