1/100 Destroid Defender

[masterqq]

Guys,

Been working on the Destroid Defender for a while...man this old kit is really a seam feast kit... a lot of nasty seam to be tackle.. more later...

I've got that kit halfway built somewhere in my build pile. You're right, it is a seam fest. Good luck!

Better you than me! That thing was a pain to build! It seems like I was sanding it for ages! - MT

Awww you gotta love some of the old kits. All that sanding, wondering if you`ll sand right through the thing before the seam is gone.

It`s a wonder any of us oldies bothered.

Thanks guys,

more work done.. Construction completed, to ease the pain of seam fighting, especially on the legs, First I scrub the seam with the back of my N0. 11 blade, then I send it smooth, lastly I cover the whole surface by poking on the diluted Timaya putty, now this served as 2 purpose, first to cover the seam and as a bonus, it gave a sand casting like texture.... .

basic painting is on, except the centre sensor housing... which will be painted next follow by decaling

great stuff...can't wait to see it finished

I got a 1/100 zentradi Glaud and that thing was a seam fest also, I just gave up on it and move on to another thing, hehe

Looks great! There's no school like the old school (and a lot of putty)! - MT

[Gabe Q]

There's no school like the old school! I like that. I'm gonna use it.

Anyway, it looks like you're doing a great job. Almost makes me want to get working on mine. Almost...

Decal is on, and finally for weathering, I put on a black wash..
