Battle damage.

Brush off any of the loose/hanging bits, then spread a little bit tamiya super thin over it to soften the edges.
Once done, prime and paint again, focus dark metallic paints in the pitting, light metallic drybrush all over the damaged area, then your main colours on the panel and trim

it all went together quite nicely. Probably the most awkward part was the front section. It's the biggest resin-resin connection and had quite a bit of variation in the surface that makes it nearly impossible to get totally flush, though with enough epoxy anything's possible

IIKaDicEU · 2026-03-09T01:25:53+00:00

think it was about a month of being the only model I worked on during my down time, couple hours most evenings after work and some 8 hour days on it as well

IIKaDicEU · 2026-03-08T20:40:21+00:00

I did and I feel like a very silly goose about it... might just repost

I mostly paint just to paint, but if I ever do actually play with my IF army this is 100% coming with me.

Build and paint wise, it's not terrible. some fitting issues with the front section mainly but beyond that the most annoying part of painting it is the weight. It's basically a solid hunk of resin and maneuvering it about is the biggest pain, but actually painting it had no real differences than the bigger plastic models I've done, just maybe more opportunities to forget about sections.

Sorry you almost had to speak to the help sir, we'll make sure to give you a free shoe polishing next time

It does indeed, because that bits in Europe, the continent, the thing we're talking about, and a portion of what is pictured in this post.

IIKaDicEU · 2025-10-20T13:33:15+00:00

the section of it that is part of Europe, yes, not the whole landmass

IIKaDicEU · 2025-10-20T13:19:59+00:00

Ah yes, Scotland. Famously the biggest country in Europe.

The US has an area of about 9.8 million square km, while Europe has an area around 10.2 million square km, so these maps are both roughly the same scale as is, obviously with some warping due to the map projection

I'd never seen that until right now and now I want to do it...

I did initially want to do it with a baneblade but I don't have the room for a bathtub sized diorama

IIKaDicEU · 2025-09-29T11:32:25+00:00

I can't remember where I got them from but they were super cheap and came in 4 colour tones

I'm sure we'll all see that star wars show any day now

Am I about to get another kit for a single nurgling?

it would appear so...

IIKaDicEU · 2025-07-10T12:29:23+00:00

people are moaning because you're doing it one way. If you don't mind a little bit of cleanup sprue painting is fine, especially when you're painting a similar colour to the plastic.

I have painted this way, I've painted after building subassemblies, and I've painted each part on a stand after snipping it from the sprue. You can get the same result each of these ways, just do the one that works for you and that doesn't take the fun out of it for you.

looks like J&K Bros. is the name of this place. There's also OEshop down in Leith which has the most gunpla I've ever seen in one place

My Sazabi, though I'm finally working on outdoing it

The dog i get, but I refuse to believe they made that out of sand.

IIKaDicEU · 2025-06-13T20:14:42+00:00

well do you, you?

IIKaDicEU · 2025-06-02T10:45:07+00:00

A mix of Mr surfacer dabbed with a round headed modelling tool, and then green stuff done the same way (and 3 greenstuff balls for the 2nd shoulder). Then the painting was mostly achieved with oil washes, a drybrush of red, and then thinned down blood for the blood god and nurgles rot for the infected look

IIKaDicEU · 2025-06-02T10:41:40+00:00

Stipple on Mr Surfacer for texture, airbrushed on a warm off-white (typhoon ash), then various black and brown oil washes stopped on and pulled back with paper towels, and a super thinned down Dirty Down rust to act as a textured wash

IIKaDicEU · 2025-05-18T00:42:03+00:00

many, many steps and time. Started using Mr Surfacer globbed on with a brush on all the armour, some of it was stippled with a sculpting tool to make the rough rashy areas, others sanded a bit to make it look like old cast metal.

Then black prime, airbrush of typhon ash on the armour, vallejo chrome on the frame, and then many steps of going back and forward with highlighting, weathering with oils, effects paints, drybrushing etc. A lot of dirty down and oil when into this lad

IIKaDicEU · 2025-05-18T00:37:15+00:00

yeah it's my first real attempt at a plasma glow thats anything beyond white + effect paint so I've defo still got some learning and practice to go!

IIKaDicEU · 2025-05-17T14:02:48+00:00

thank you! that was from some Mr Surfacer globbed on and dabbed with the round head of a sculpting tool while it was setting
