@wm cheng This is such a beautiful build. I really appreciate your posts. You always include so many details about your process. It’s very inspiring. ✌️

Such a great build! That’s my favorite version. Can’t wait to finally ship mine home next month. 🤣

Thanks. The pearl over off white has such a nice silky look to it and adds a certain perceived depth to the surface. I had to repaint a few pieces after final paint layers were applied since I notice some poor surface prep on my part. Tiny scratch here and there. I need to slow it down and really inspect my pieces better at the primer stage to avoid so much work later on. I am contemplating what to start next while I finish up this build. Was thinking the Terror Mirage. I want to paint it like a stealth bomber or Blackbird scheme. More to come as always.

I’m not religious, but Amen to that. 💯

Getting work done on this KOG Schpeltor. So far so good I guess. The masking fluid will not be replacing good old masking tape. The edge the masking fluid created was rough and also didn’t get full coverage so lots of touching up needed. Glad I tried it. Still lots to learn about the hobby.

@electric indigo that orange! 🔥 looking hot

That’s looking great!

Oof! Overlooked a small scratch so I guess I strip it in some iso, fill, sand, prime, paint gloss black and then paint gold again. Annoying… also trying to mask out the panels on the skirt armor and other bits with masking fluid instead of tape. Hope it works out. Have to put a couple layers of lacquer over it. If this experiment works out I may switch over to this method. I like brush painting and I feel it really gets into the hard to reach areas easier than tape.

That mottled effect is is beautiful.

@tekering the scale looks great! Love it

@derex3592oh no. I’m so sorry to hear that. Not what you want to hear, but are you stripping and repainting?

It’s on! Excited for this. It looks great so far. 😊 I am going to reference your black bird and stealth for a paint scheme I want to try out in a future mech build. I might reach out a bug you about it when the time comes. Thanks for the inspiration!

I have a couple builds on bench right now. I just did a test fit on the Tiger Moth from Castle in the Sky anime. And I’m about to prime up the FSS Schpertor. Very excited!

Wow that is looking amazing!

Hey thanks so much! That means a lot to me. I’m definitely a FSS fan boy. Hahahaha. Oh and happy new year to you too! All of those builds are from the past year and a half. That’s when I started building models. No leg pulling. I hope to build less models this year and make the output more dialed in. I hit the ground running when I started building and don’t want burnout.
