Project: Galaxy (Part 4)

Ever had that feeling where your goal seems to be further away even as you get closer to it? I’m there right now with Sheryl!
All the parts are painted (OK, the huge bow needs a little more work) but each time I look at her, I keep thinking that I need to do more!!

One thing [...]

Project: Galaxy (part 3)

I had planned to do a mini-review of Bioshock 2 for this weeks post, but unfortunately my Xbox 360 decided to do the inevitable and gave me a RROD. Damn…
Admittedly, I haven’t been giving Sheryl the time she deserves in order to complete her, but with Bayonetta, Mass Effect 2 and then Bioshock 2 being [...]

Project: Galaxy (Part 2)

Never underestimate how crushing it is to have to do the same monotonous tasks over and over again…
But at least there has been some progress with Sheryl since the last post. Her main parts are closely edging towards being ready to be painted, but there’s still a while to go yet.

Here’s how she looks at [...]

Project: Galaxy (part 1)

I know you’re all waiting for me to start work on my volks KOSMOS but, unfortunately, until I get the replacement parts needed to complete her, she’s in cold storage!
which means I can try and focus attention on my current project, which was on hiatus until a few weeks ago due to my wrist injury. [...]

Project: Y (Vs Tepparin) Part 2

Ugh, I had originally planned to have finished all the painting by now so I could focus on the finishing touches but alas it was not to be. But it’s not like I haven’t done *anything*

See? The eyes and rifle are now completed and the shading has been done, so no more airbrush work. All [...]

Project: Y (Vs Tepparin)

December 2007. That’s when I bought this kit, alongside my previous Yoko kit and it’s been sitting in my “to do” pile since then. But no longer!!!

Looking back, I think I should have done this one first instead of my “vs Antispiral” version as there have been several other kits depicting the exact same pose [...]

Project: D3 (part 3)

Bit late for this weeks post. I’ll think of an excuse later…
But for now, I thought I would put in a progress report for mirei-san and her legs, seeing as it’s been quite a while since I last posted her, not that a huge amount of progress has been achieved…
Ghostbusters: the video game has also [...]

Project: D3 (part 2)

And now for a little progress update!!
When we last left Mirei, I had just given her a basic “skeleton” to work on. After that, it was a matter of applying material in order to flesh out the legs.

The material used was Super sculpey, A type of modelling clay which has the cohesiveness of plasticine until [...]

Project: D3 (part 1)

And now back to our regularly scheduled posts.
After a flurry of games reviews, it’s time to get back to what this blog was initially set up for, the Model kits!! And it’s not like I’ve been lazy while playing hours of Streetfighter 4 and Resi 5. Some of you may remember my little purchase of [...]

Project: Lucky Star (the rest) Part 3

Another really minor update today, just showing off the final parts of the body and the start of the heads.

At least the hair shouldn’t present any problems. Again, the stripes on the uniforms provided several annoying moments and they still require further cleaning after all this!!!
