Also I never realised you could get cement/glue like that with a brush. I always was fiddling around with tubes and those Revell ones that had the thin long metal nozzle. Glue always got dried up in those.
This may be a stupid question, but why does he not put glue under pieces to hold them together? He basically puts them together and gives them a wipe with the brush around the join.
Wouldn't that leave a glue ridge around the join and possibly not hold them together if it flexes a tiny bit?
Yeah that guy's pretty good though he doesn't add any commentary to his videos. I prefer this guy because of this.
As for the glue it flows in with capillary action and the solvent fuses the styrene together leaving a neat join.
i was actually wondering that too, regarding the glue. the person obviously knows what they are doing so i wasn't going to question it lol. might have to try that next time i am putting something together.
Finished my imperial communications droid from Rebels. I'm quite happy to have this in my collection alongside my other Bandai droids.

Also finished the Airfix 1/48th Mk.1 Spitfire. Pretty straight forward and enjoyable build with no real problems other than through a bit of carelessness. There's a bit of overspray on the instrument panel if you look hard enough. I used the very nice Eduard interior detail set.

I've got a few things to finish first but I really want to get a predator on the shelf. This is Spirit Blade sculpted by Narin and is part of a three piece with interlocking bases.

A closeup to show that amazing detail. That's one ugly motherfudger.

Another lambo this time it's the Huracan from Aoshima in pearl white. A little vanilla now that I look at it. The next one will be green I think.

Boba and friends. I have to wait until late December for the serving tray and January for the dispensor for the bartender droid.

wouldn't be my first choice if I could afford to even run a supercar, but it's very stark with all the black highlights. :cool:Quote:

very thematic!
I can't claim it as my idea. I used this pic as inspiration.

You paint it those colours then you better be ready to answer the immotal question,, ‘BUT DOES iT TRANSFORM?!??’
Sadly no :D
Just finished a kit of this 300hp monster Kawasaki H2R.

Nice work, again. They look like photos.
Thanks. I'm trying something new with my setup.
Whatever that is it is working a treat.
You are absolutely killing it.
It really does look like a real bike. you should get into prop making for film...
Thanks for the comments. I really like the look of this on my shelf.
I've just finished a bio helmet with some extra detailing. There's rare earth magnets glued to both with some sculpting to tidy up the holes.

Here's the utterly gorgeous Ducati 916 from Tamiya. I really need to buy a new dust resistant background.

Yeah, another beauty!
Are you doing a rider for it?
Thanks! I've got this figure and some new printed boots plus more printed bits for a blank figma.

Nice! Are you still modelling in Max? Or have you picked up some ZBrush?
that face without paint is horrifying
Max still does what I need right now but for more organic stuff I'll try out Zbrush sometime for sure.Quote:

That's Beautiful
Cheers. Just painting the fiddly gear doors with their red edging. I've got in the stash a RAF Harrier and a Swedish Viggen to do.
I made some pop cans. Also started probably my last Aventador build combining the roadster and SV kits to make the SV roadster.

No you're just showing off! ;)
Finished last 2 for the year. Tomcat was a nice easy build with no problems. Huracan was an exercise in patience. Colour is Verde ermes. Aoshima pick nice subjects but their execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Finished a figure kit with some modifying. Kit was nicely cast and easy to put together but really needed a strong degreaser to get rid of the mould release.

What did you use for the flesh color?
