The Gang Grows

Here is what I have partially completed.

Hollander Continues

I had the chance to work on the Hollander. I am experimenting with camo ideas and weathering techniques. I have started at the bottom and joints with some artist oil for grease stains.
I will continue to play with this one and see what happens.

Oh Look a Post

I have been slacking on the posts, but I thought I would give a quick update and a tease as to what has been done. (pics to follow during an update).

I have done the base painting for the Highlander, Hunchback (sans Arms, Still waiting on the new ones), Hollander, and broke the Locust! :(

The Highlander and Hunchback were painted a base of Model Master Steel, salted, base cover of Acrylic Vallejo Black Grey, and had sections painted in red. This is what I envision what the Black Widow Company's color scheme would look like on these two. I learned something about the salt technique, you must air brush on flat based paint to get to work correctly. Hand painting is too heavy and gloss paint tends to seal the paint job.

The Hollander is going slow because I am doing a digital desert camo scheme.

All this and preparing for the family gathering on the 24th to exchange gifts.

More to come...

Highlander and Hunchback Build

Once again....very few pictures....

I have to say I am impressed with the resin models I have gotten from Scott and Simon. In the world of prop replicas you get a lot of recasts, poor moulds, soft details, and air bubbles. It is really nice to work with people that take pride in their art work.

Some assembly required. ;)

Here we are in the pre-painting stage.

I am thinking that I should have asked for the other arms to be better in line of the Highlander's look.

Look who has Hunchy's back. :D

Hollander - Build

I started on the Hollander today and noticed it came with some battle damage. Such is the life of resin models.

The legs required very little clean up and went together like a camp. The line you see running down the "ankle" part of the leg is a mould seam I cleaned up a little.

The upper torso went together with a minimal effort. I had to clean up some extra resin on the "pin" for the Gauss rifle for it to sit nicely in to the mount.

Same story with the upper legs attaching at the hips. Clean some flashing and insert peg "A" in to slot "B".

The mighty fist of the Hollander.

Here he is guarding the washing machine.

Something Off of Scott's Messy Desk

Last week (I guess) I received two resin models from Scott.

NOTE: I am without a good camera, so you have to suffer with my phone's camera until I pick a camera for taking pics of models.

I do take suggestions. :)
