Neil Gremell
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Neil was inspired by the December 2009 FSM article on building Moebius’ 1/8 scale Invisible Man
but surprised by what came out of the box. He says, “I hadn’t really thought
ahead, and I was not prepared for
how huge it is! I built subassemblies similar to the article, and painted most
parts with whatever Tamiya aerosols were handy. The plaid waistcoat was airbrushed
with Tamiya acrylics and lots of careful masking. Oil washes and dry-brushing
followed, but, given the size of the kit, some of the usual paint effects weren’t
needed – they occur naturally. Final assembly required the overcoat to be pried
open – very scary – but the figure popped together securely without cement.”
