Here is a soft vinyl model kit I've finished lately. It was a surprisingly quick and easy process...
It's a mecha from Secret Blue Water, Nadia, the first animated TV Series from Studio Gainax (1989).
The Glatank is a steampunk Tank on WHeeles that can transform into a baloon or even a boat, controled by an evil trio lead by Gladys.
Is here in wheel mode. The Kit in 1/35 scale.

It's the original and genuine stuff, bought 20 years ago, in France...



Some pictures of the final product presented on the box.



The build notice.



The parts still in the bag. You can see the copyright.



The parts...



The parts are washed with soap, dried and then I can spray can some black paint first...



It's not very detailed, even for soft vinyl, but we will upgrade it later...



Everything but the wheeles will now receive a base coat of white skull. It will make some kind of Pre-shading coat, very useful with the orange and red paint that I will put on it with simple brushes. Fun fact : i've got every colors needed with Citadel colors.



Let's cut the soft vinyl excess and glue parts.



The colors.



One of the few things I'll modify : the lights, with jewelry and clear parts from a car...



I'll add some ldder like in the illustration. And make small holes to simulate rivets on the panels.
