well, 2 hrs and 2 cups of coffee in
i have painted the roadwheels and the lower hull for the Dragon kit.
assembled part of the turret.
glued the back pate on the hull, the gun to the mantlet and put the fenders on.
words cannot describe my disgust w/ the fenders.
they have pins to mount them, but no holes in the upper hull for the pins.
no half holes from the back like they did w/ the deck.
so i dorked around trying to figure out where exactly they go.
then i sanded the pins off.
amazingly, i still saw no indication of where the holes should go!
used slo CA.
they fought me every millimeter of the way.
i think the warped one fit better than the straight.
hopefully not too much of the beautifully molded Zim will be marred
by this effort!
and my left index finger is nice & crispy w/ CA residue!
my regular zap bottle kept clogging, so i cut the top off.
well, the roadwheels are probably dry by now.
better start making sets!
the Airfix kit sits neglected so far.
should probably shoot some paint on those bits too!
current battle plan is:
Dragon kit - 3 color camo
Airfix kit - Panzer grey for J-Hulk!
