Hello from a comic book artist

Posted by Antihero on Saturday, December 13, 2014 7:02 PM

Hi everyone, I live in the Philippines but I work for an American comics publisher. My work is fun but it sometimes drives me crazy so I turn to scale modeling to keep me sane. I'm simultaneously working on a Moebius "The Dark Knight" version Batmobile, Aoshima Greek warship, Revell Santa Maria ship, AMT Crown Victoria 1950's car, Revell George Clooney version Batmobile, Polar Lights 1966 TV series Batmobile, Italeri F-22 Raptor, Kitech Airwolf, Academy Titanic and Horizon She-Hulk vinyl figure model. I also have boxes of unbuilt kits: ICM MiG-25 Foxbat, Revell T-50 Russian stealth fighter, Trumpeter J-20 Mighty Dragon Chinese stealth fighter, Aoshima Airwolf, Tamiya AMG-Mercedes S600 coupe and an Academy Centennial Edition Titanic. I may seem confused due to my diverse kit choices and appear a procrastinator because of my unfinished projects but I plan to complete them by 2016. I guess the reason why I take things too slowly is because building the kits is more fun than finishing them. Once a kit is done, it will be displayed and forgotten as I turn my attention on the other kits.

Welcome Antihero Welcome Sign

Wow, that's a seriously impressive list. Please post some of you work for us.
You should consider joining some group builds. I've found they help me complete my builds that otherwise would just sit unfinished. I have a 1/350 Yamato that's been unfinished for years, but everything I've started on this forum I've completed.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Yup, modelcrazy said it just right: the GBs motivate you to finish your builds...I seek them out and participate regularly, I love it and will continue on this way.

Welcome aboard. Be warned, the GB's can be addictive, and tons of fun.

Welcome to the Forums Antihero! Glad to have you aboard!

I'm in the same boat. I build whatever strikes my fancy at the time. Have at least 1/2 dozen kits in the works at one time. There are enough kits in my stash to keep me building for the next 200 years (at least). I'll be a very happy guy when I get to the Great Workbench in the Sky.

Thanks for the warm welcome, ModelCrazy, Rob, Bish, Fox and Tojo72! It's great to meet you all! GB does sound like fun, it's a new concept for me, really worth trying. Looking forward to see and be inspired by your great models as I start browsing thru the forums!
