Finally returning to the Plamax Bellvine. Not many seams to deal with, but it has lots of mold lines. I will completely buildup all subassembly’s like head, arms, legs, feet, thrusters etc… and have fun being loose with my painting. Probably only masking off the eyes on this one and then move on to brush painting lacquer for the metal hoses etc… Looking forward to being more freestyle in my approach due to the semi organic vibe and messing around with this bug…or is it a bird? Not sure

Finished up the Wave 1/144 LED Colus. a fun little build. Noticing a lot of sinks in this kit among other strange design choices for construction
-
Looking great. Your patience and process are paying off. 👍
-
Wave had an inferno napalm 1/144 but scrapped it. Wish they would revisit. I can imagine Volks doing it though eventually. That would be great! I’m guessing 1/144 KOG with buster will come first.
-
It’s a fun one. I hear the larger and older 1/100 are a pain but I really want the flame launcher version and also the older black knight kit. One day

I am on the final stretch with the Wave 1/144 LED Mirage Colus. Just needs panel lines, decals and a few areas to dial in and touchup. Would also like to invest in a vise sometime. The empty jar with a pile of tac works but I want to up my game. Haha

@pengbuzz I’m so sorry for your loss and can’t imagine how you must be feeling right now. My heart goes out to you. I wish you all the best in life and hope to see you on here again someday. ♥️♥️♥️

I preordered the tomahawk right away when it went live but haven’t had the final payment go through yet. Has anyone on here already got one? Edit* HLJ says release is 3.31.26

@SteveTheFish Hey Thanks!
-
@SteveTheFish Thanks so much for the advice. I have some simple green degreaser I plan on using on the resin giving it a nice soak and a tooth brush scrub when the time comes for me to start the painting process. I’m excited for it. I’ll have to look up some tips on painting anime figures skin tones and hair shading. It did come with eye decals which is nice and convenient. 👁️🗨️👁️🗨️ @Big s 🤘horns up

@derex3592 hull yeah! That’s looking great! John Moscato. I’ll look him up and look for the kits. I think I remember a Phalanx kit a year back? I’ll have to search. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for anything in the future. Thanks and I look forward to seeing more pics of your collection. 🤤 Started this reissue of an older 1/144 HM L-Gaim Bat-Shu. It’s only two runners, some hoses and very simple. No decals. Got the test fit done today and will get this rolling next week. I have lots of other more modern kits in the mix too but after the Spartan I want to do another tired old kit.
-
Hahahaha thanks
-
Thanks. Hahaha. Yeah there are some rough spots for sure. No zooming in on the photos allowed 😂 I really enjoyed this one. Super fun
-
I have successfully brought the Spartan back from the dead using new DNA technology 🦖. Wait, wrong movie. It has its issues but like I said, I gave this 75% effort 100% of the time or something like that. I think it came out alright for a $20 kit. Please give us a modern version of this beautiful design you cowards!

@Big s thanks so much. Almost done. @wm cheng thanks. I have a soft spot for these older kits. Don’t get me wrong though… modern kits are awesome but sometimes certain designs are only available as vintage releases. @derex3592 Thanks. Wow! You have an awesome collection right there! Ummmm those Invid…are those kits or toys? Especially the tall “queen/king?” Those are crazy cool! Also very excited to see the tank come together. 👍
