WIP : 1/144 HGUC MSN-003 Nemo
Decals (what little there are) are now on. After the decals have cured, I’ll coat them with another layer of Future then I’ll proceed with panel lining. I’m still thinking of what panel coloring to use for the blue sections. We’ll see. Most importantly, my first finished kit of 2016 is in sight!...
WIP : 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1A Valkyrie Pt. 3
Since I can’t leave it well enough alone, I decided that I needed to fix the brown color. The new color (on the left below) is Model Color 977 Desert Yellow. Much better. The second main color is white and I realized that I’d forgotten how hard it is to get a very ‘white’ color …...
WIP : 1/144 HGUC MSN-003 Nemo
So while waiting for the paint on the other projects to cure, I decided I needed to finish up this partially painted kit. I’m following the default color scheme quite closely but to add some interest, I decided to add some splinter camouflage to the blue color. The darker blue is Model Master Acryl Blue …...

WIP : 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1A Valkyrie Pt. 2
My kit is very old. I got it when it was first released in 2000 in fact. Consequently, the decal sheet has gone very brittle and yellow. I ended up replacing my decals with a set from Samueldecal, which are ALPS printed. The Samueldecal decal is very soft compared to Hasegawa’s but it works fine. …...
A look back at 2015
First and foremost, I finished the most kits in… ever! 4 isn’t a lot, but considering I’ve only ever finished 3 kits a year and with my last kit being finished in 2012, this is a big deal! I would have probably been able to finish another one before 2015 ended. Unfortunately I had an …...
WIP : 1/72 Skunkmodels Reaper Pt. 1
I couldn’t resist starting on this when it arrived a few days ago. A pleasant surprise is the inclusion of 2 units of MQ-9s in the box, with 2 complete sets of decals too. A greater surprise is how big the MQ-9 actually is… It came together straightforward enough although the in order to get …...
WIP : 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1A Valkyrie Pt. 1
Kit Info Manufacturer: Hasegawa Scale: 1/72 Media: Injection Plastic Nothing new lately as I’ve been bogged down by the F-14 project: landing gear breaking, kit falling onto the table nose first and endless seamlines and gaps to fix. To distract me a bit, I’ve been plugging slowly on the Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1A kit on the...
