Awesome work on that man! I think the mega unit blaster pod is on the other side, that is CLEARLY the flector valve fernibulator.

Do it!

John, would you recommend clear coating/sealing sections that are already painted? I'm wondering if I should do that for each section of the Mini.

 

[JohnSimmons]

I didn't bother clear coating anything before the citadel washes (there only water based acrylics so I didn't think there was need to) but it would be a good idea if you want to use other types of wash or just for protection when handling etc

Thanks John!

Calling this puppy done ( pun intended ) what I thought was going to be a simple build turned out to be quite challenging. Difficult with such a small subject working in the so called " gentleman's scale " .

Disappointed with the how the decals came out with some silvering evident on the roundels .... A constant source of frustration for me and something I can't seem to nail. I think I need to switch the gloss I'm using as the Australian equivalent of Future just doesn't seem to do the trick. I saw an aerosol can of high gloss acrylic clear in the hardware store, think I might try something like that. Any suggestions welcome.

Anyways , thanks Darkblade really enjoyed this one.






Ps - John that bike looks awesome

 

[JohnSimmons]
