Freshysnapper Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 nice! is that a modified Fujimi kit? how did you paint the dark panel lines? I knew it! after seeing the way you handled the decals on that hopper, knew you must have built models in the past clean builds and paint on those - - ' must give props to others before you again...' Hey you caught me haha, thanks. I think I'm going to dig one out to build here soon. There is a contest about to go down here and it kind of motivated me to give it a crack again.

StoneBonerOner Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 so ive started on a pretty serious build, datsun 720 modified to a nissan hustler. in memoy of my best friend who was working on this truck for years before he passed away, the truck was never finished but he had a clear vision of how he wanted it to be. i would love to finish the real truck for him but i cant, so i am going to do the next best thing, finishing this replica for his dad who asked if i could do it. im really taking my time on this but progress pics will come soon.

_:MemphisOrDie:_ Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Just found this thread. I havent put together a model in years. I used to build em all the time as a youngster. Mostly star wars shit. I remember a particularly daunting Emperial Star Destroyer. But I am currently looking at an Incredible Hulk model by Polar Lights and a Dr.Zira(planet of the apes) model by Aurora. They have been sitting on my shelf for years. I might just put one together. Thanks for the inspiration. and............. Subscribed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_:MemphisOrDie:_ Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 very nice. I've been wanting to build a gundam model for a while. whats a good beginner gundam kit? what scale? I saw some fucking huge ones when I was in Hong Kong a couple years ago. I'm assuming bigger models have more pieces meaning more difficult?

wafflecakee Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 HG is super easy, MG i haven't done but i think if you've got some experience to go straight to it. No money for it, but they're awesome. i need an astray revised blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko SprueOne Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 fist 666 , 4x4 , thanks cool! _:MemphisOrDie:_, if you build the Dr.Zira, post progress here so we can check it out. As far as Gundam scale info on the models, I've only built one at 1/144. Usually more parts just means more time required and as wafflecakee says, if you have the money for the larger import scale kits wafflecakee, Badass build. What kit suit is that? a lot of the line work are washes (thinned paint) touched into the recesses and detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_:MemphisOrDie:_ Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Ok so I opened the Hulk and Dr.Zira models and both require painting. Im not ready for that kind of commitment. Im looking at this to ease my way back into the model game: http://www.gundamstoreandmore.com/ban965511.html Anybody have any recomendations on good kits that dont require painting? Im leaning more towards scifi kinda shit than cars.......... And speaking of models are yall familiar with Gerry Anderson? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerry_Anderson Im watching Thunderbird6 right now and godamn I love some thunderbirds. The models are fucking top notch.Supermarionation ftw. I found this but its $600. http://fabgearusa.com/1_144_scale_thunderbird_2_1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemFailure Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 This thread rules so hard. Christ I need to take some pictures of my boy and I's tau and ork squads.....jesus christ that is nerdbomber hahaha I snapped together the 1/44th scale Deathscythe sspretty cool but I needa do a wash of brack. I have yet to break down and splurge on a larger model scale. Shipping is a dealbreaker for the most part. Quality work up in heeah as usual and like I said will hafta snap some of our armies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko SprueOne Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 can't get that first link to work over here don't know of sci-fi space ship or vehicle kits that don't require painting. I think AMT is reproducing the old Star Wars kits. Most of the models in the movie were basically painted gray primer yes, Thunderbirds models rock!

Ko SprueOne Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 yeah I'd like to get one of those kits too. I'm reading that the Japanese company, Aoshima's version is much higher quality in detail I think they only made the Back to the Future II version though and since we're on the topic of movie car model kits made in Japan, I'd also like to build up a Ford Falcon Interceptor from Mad Max or the Road Warrior version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
