I will color the spear tip with a little steel/aluminum and maybe drybrush the rest just slightly to give it a little wear and tear look.Fundimensions Plastic Construction Kit 1-901. Waiting on some yellow paint to show up for his hair, but I got the brown and tan for his clothes. I did the spear in dark metallic grey and the flesh for his face and hands. Fortunately I discovered that priming it with grey primer overtop the black seemed the eleviate the stickiness. I assume it has to do with whatever material the figure is made from. For some reason the black primer I used (which I have used on all my other stuff with no issues) was still a little sticky even after a few days.

The emblem came out pretty good - I wanted a two-tone color scheme on it like on the movie poster. That was just a matter of mixing bright orange paint with 5-minute epoxy. I really like the way the base came out, especially the lava. I've already painted the body, so I just need to do the interior and assemble the rest. I really like how the black accent brought out the springs and engine details. I'll probably drybrush a little brown/tan after that.Īssembled the chassis last night. this is pretty much done, I just need to use the airbrush to add some light green to him.

He's slowly been working on a layout in his basement but with some neurological issues as he's getting older it's harder for him to do it. My dad has been into model railroading since he was a kid. My grandfather used to paint duck decoys - some for actual use (geese, actually) but a bunch were purely for display purposes.
I'm at least a third generation modeller, I suppose.
The Vermithrax Dragon from Dragonslayer by PegasusĪ couple of other doodads, plus I just pulled the trigger on a small wooden ship starter set from Occre. But it's only been in the last few months that I've really tried using different techniques like dry brushing and washes to get a more realistic effect. Hello!
