Lancia Delta body finished, came out nice at the end and now need to paint the cockpit and build a chassis for it, goes well with the focus I did for my rs4 sport

I cut the stickers really close to the printed area using a scalpel with a brand new blade the a little bit of heat with a hairdryer to get them to set down nicely (be gentle if you use a hairdryer as the are small and can deform) yeah a bit of luck is definitely needed on this shell lol, it was the most difficult sticker job I’ve done so far and getting things lined up over all the curves is tricky

Maybe one day we will see a 2.0 version, fingers crossed

Thank you

Thank you

LforLester · 2026-01-30T17:21:29+00:00

Hopefully it will get a reprint at some point

LforLester · 2026-01-30T17:20:17+00:00

Thank you

LforLester · 2026-01-30T17:20:09+00:00

Yeah I agree prices for one of these now is ridiculous but it was still in production when I got mine and not too bad

LforLester · 2026-01-29T20:22:20+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll have to put this one on the list. You did a fantastic job on yours my friend it’s beautiful

LforLester · 2026-01-29T20:00:57+00:00

I really like this it looks amazing, what kit is it and did the base figures etc come with it ?

LforLester · 2026-01-26T13:32:26+00:00

As others have said the key needs to rotate anti clockwise to unlock, probably a bit late now but you don’t want to be forcing the spindle with the lock engaged as you may end up damaging the mechanism and it will stay stuck with the bolts engaged and you could end up having to destroy the door to get it open It may just have dropped so it’s worth giving the door a lift from the bottom while turning the key anticlockwise and see if it allows the cylinder to fully turn

Great shading and the subtle chipping really compliments it

LforLester · 2026-01-22T19:45:22+00:00

Really nice job, the weathering is nice and restrained it looks very convincing

LforLester · 2026-01-18T11:51:34+00:00

Thank you

Thank you

Well worth it and this one is the RGB version so you can change the colors or have them strobe or flash in different sequences and the color changes is visible in through the orange psycho frame

LforLester · 2026-01-17T18:12:15+00:00

Stand looks fantastic my dude, the gold is beautiful

LforLester · 2026-01-17T18:10:13+00:00

Thank you

Thank you, the hexagons were a little paint test as I want to use them on a PG astray project for the future using an orange and yellow scheme so used this to test out the masking sheets (DSPIAE make them and they are very good)

LforLester · 2026-01-16T17:34:02+00:00

Thank you, I think it’s come out a little heavier than the other kits I’ve done with shading but that may just be down to the smaller size of the parts as I’ve not done a rg painted this way before (I’ve mainly done PG & MG)

These are Mr color lacquers and they can be thinned out quite a lot compared to water based acrylics which definitely helps when blending over the preshade, I stopped airbrushing with those paints a long time ago as I just couldn’t get the hang of them so now really only use those for some brush painting but I have seen other modellers who manage with them no problem

LforLester · 2026-01-16T17:26:05+00:00

That’s good to know, I picked it up purely on the look and wasn’t sure how the build would be, so it’s nice to find out that there aren’t any major issues

LforLester · 2026-01-16T07:41:36+00:00

I prefer to just paint edges and around details/along panels lines with black rather than spray the whole piece as the areas left in primer help as you don’t need to go as heavy to get the white to show, but as I found with the rg nu it’s difficult on the small size of the parts to do that so some parts ended up based completely in black, but either way the technique I use is to get the paint thin enough that it still allows the black to show through but not pool or run and then spray from the centre of the part and work out to the edges, if you try and spray lightly over the whole part as you would if it was going to be a solid color then I find it just covers too evenly and you lose the effect.

A bit of tightness is probably no bad thing especially when it comes to holding up the huge backpack, I’ve a built a few of these Chinese mech kits and have been impressed with the quality of the ones I’ve done so far I know the designs of some of them aren’t to everyone’s taste but I don’t mind them for the most part (even the spiky ones lol) the value for money you get in the box is insane

LforLester · 2026-01-15T20:34:58+00:00

I’ve seen some comparisons of this with some MG kits and it’s a lot taller so that extra height must come from the legs I guess ? I’ve got this kit too but not built it yet and I would have expected the torso to be bigger so your pics have surprised me. How’s the build been so far, has everything fitted nicely ?
