Hey if a Sharpie works good for you!!! 

 

If I did one I'd be tempted to try to sculpt a dead Ewok to hang over the sink mark on the front armour plate....

Cool idea, Gamera! Maybe for my next AT-ST!

Lodni, your AT-ST is looking like it's off to a good start!

I've been plinking away at the X-Wing.  I finally got a primer coat on and sprayed the first color: blue.  I used Testor's flat sea blue.  I'll mask it then paint a few different grays.  I need to find a good pale yellow color.  If I can't find a good color at the LHS I'll try mixing some light gray with yellow.  Then I'll get everything masked and spray the overall color.  It's kind of strange painting markings before the main color.  But I'm thinking this way there will be a LOT less masking.  Here's where she is now.

That X-Wing is looking good SilentBob.

I just got done cleaning out the back holes for the powerpack and started putting the legs together. That is when I realized I was missing a part! I was hoping to have it together to start painting by the end of the week. Sad

Hey Bob, somehow I missed you before. Nice work, I know what you mean about it seeming like you're masking in reverse but it is easier that way.

Lodni: Looks cool, good luck with the missing part.

I like the look of the new AT-AT. Not sure about Chewy's co-pilot though. Will get my tickets booked.

I searched pretty throughly for that part - no dice. Bish, I'm in the process of that now. May not look EXACTLY the same but it will be close! I have a decently stocked parts/doo-dads bin so I am fairly confident I can get the upper leg fixed and be on track by the weekend.

Hope everyone else is having better luck! LOL Cool

Stupid friggin' gremlins- I always lose at least one part from everything. Sometimes as soon as room air hits the open box something will evaporate..... 

You're making great progress there anyway!

Bob that is alot of nice work going into that old kit. Looking really good.

Lodni, nice progress on that AT-ST. Looking forward to your progress.

 

As for me I decided to try my hand at something different so I purchased the General Grievious kit. Started working on this during my lunch break at work and have about two weeks into this.

I also received this in the mail on Friday and I plan on starting this also.

Plan on having some fun!

Very cool Grievous and Blaster NMT!! Beer

Progress is a bit slow on the "field repair" of the 'Chicken Walker''s leg, but getting there.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

NMT: Those are cool! 

Lodni: Great to see you still hacking away at her. 

 

I can't seem to get motivated again on the A-Wing. About all I did this weekend is spray the undersides and do some pre-shading on my Tempest for Bish's other GB. Hope I can be forgiven since I am making some progress on one of your GB's Bish...

Bish, yeah it is the Bandai kit. Nice engineering, the elbow joints were molded movable on the sprue. Darndest thing i ever saw.

Sounds interesting. I've been eyeing up the K-2S0 figure. At least on that the articulated joints don't look out of place, thats whats put me off some of the other figures they do.

Way to fight back against the carpet monster, Lodni. :-)

Whoa, where'd you get that blaster kit, NMT?? Looks to be resin. Is it standard-issue for Troopers? Definitely want to see you finish that. Propeller

I'm not a big figures guy, but the Grevious kit looks great (might have to buy for my kid). Love that Bandai included his guts.

Bish, I don't mind the joints. If you consider it as an action figure you put together it is not bad. This is my second figure and I set them in my Black Series collection.

PB, the blaster came from Bish's side of the pond. Took about two weeks but it is cast from a Sterling sub-machine gun and looks to be quite accurate. Even has the machining stamps on it.  Company called Doopydoos (www.doopydoos.com)

The figures are nice, typical Bandai kit. I am still learning how to work with them.

Stephen*: Wow, the joints are molded movable on the sprue!?!? Gee friggin' whiz, I thought the whole thing of molding multiple colours on one sprue is amazing and this blows even that away!

 

* Funny when I called you NMT I remember your name but couldn't remember if you spelled it Stephen or Steven...sorry Embarrassed

I have a couple of the Bandai HALO Spruekit figures and they are pretty nice. I got the Commander Sarah Palmer one put together. The Master Chief I gave to my buddy so he could build with his kid. I recently replaced it - got it off Amazon for less than a US $20.

Nearly done with the 'Chicken Walker' leg! I need to let the top armor piece dry and attach it but it is essentially done. Sorry about the quality of the photos but you get the idea!

Hope everyone's Monday wasn't too bad!
