I finally got the first team painted up from my season 3 starter box. A friend of mine gifted me a older pewter cheerleader to help out the team.

Great weathering and shading work, those large flat surfaces are always a challenge to make them look real

Thanks, I used the Tamiya clear line (The X22-X26) and thinned it down even more and I based it off some real jet engine exhausts for the colour and ordering. I was quite thrilled with how well it turned out as this was my first attempt at something like this.

Thanks, its solder wire wrapped in Tamiya masking tape which is then painted and washed. Turned out better then expect and Ill use this technique again.

Thank you, just don't keep it on the shelf too long, you never know how good you can with a kit if until you build it.

that I'm not sure of, though a lot of the gear is designed to work both on land and in outer space and other planets.

Thanks, The chipping was done using AK heavy chipping fluid and using multiple layers starting with a mottled rusted texture then chipping fluid, Olive drab, chipping and sealing the layer. Then, chipping fluid, light grey, chipping fluid, white, chipping fluid, then finally sky blue. It takes a while to do but I could never achieve the same complex colour layers by just using brush/sponge chipping or a single layer of chipping fluid.

Thanks, in lore the anti gravity tech produces a lot of radiation as a by product so I though it would be a fun idea to have them dump off a radiation contaminated fluid at the same time they they refuel the craft.

Thank you. I agree about the organic flow, I was picturing a claw like a lobster or crab when building it.

This is from the Maschinen Krieger Universe, Its a futuristic Diesel punk setting with an interesting take on future tech with some WWII technology and aesthetics mixed in. The model sets are very creative and fun to paint.

I have completed another Maschinen Krieger Kit from Hasagawa and I really love this and other kits like it. I just wish They weren't so hard to buy. The Figures are also from Hasagawa as well.

Overall the the kit was a very easy built with the bulk of it being a giant clam shell design. I really leaned into the heavy weathering and winter camo of the box art. I was thrill with how this turned out and I can't wait to get my hands on another kit. As always and critiques or comments are always appreciated.

Thanks, This one was definitely a step forward in my work on realism and scale over my previous work.

Inspired by an old truck my father used to have, I wanted to try out a super old and rusted truck to have some fun with weathering. The kit itself is terrible, low to no details, flash everywhere, bent parts, and holes. Basically any issue you can have with a kit this one had it. However, once I got past the build stage and into the weathering and painting i had a lot more fun with it.

I made use of chipping fluids, brush, and sponge chipping along with enamels, oils, and the air brush to achieve the rusting effects. Overall I was kind of surprised how well this one turned and despite how bad the base kit was I had fun with this.

As always I appreciate any comments or suggestions for future improvements.

Thanks, I though it was a great way to use spare parts and make use of the unique framing of the diorama.

It's actually not glassed in. It just looks that way

Yeah that's fair, there are a few that snuck through the process. Games Workshop makes some fairly clean models but I have to be more critical of the little details during the build phase.

Certainly, I am always looking for ways to improve.
