February 4, 2019Primed, everything is getting a rust primer. Re-used some rocket noses from the pod kit15
February 4, 2019Undocumented prior to this is a gunmetal put down lightly over the primer, then vallejo chipping medium over that. The lightness of the gunmetal allows the rust primer to peek through from certain angles, it is more impressive in motion.16
February 4, 2019Custom accessories got primed17
February 4, 2019Used 3 colors on top of the base coat. The brown used a larger stencil size and went down first, subsequent ones were smaller. Both sizes from Fallout Hobbies, great vinyl stencils.18
February 4, 2019Upper torso, mid camo19
February 10, 20191:6 action figure accessories. The slide actuates, and the magazine is removable. I ended up not using these cuz the scale was just a tad off, and the model was getting too cluttered.20
February 10, 20191:6 scale Ka-Bar, sheath clasp is magnetic21
February 10, 2019The chipping of the camo areas was harder than the base coat, likely due to much thicker paint. I struggled a lot with paint curling when trying to chip larger flat sections. Tapping with a toothbrush gave best results.22
February 10, 2019More examples of curling23
February 10, 2019Likely the worst of it, I'm glad this supposed to be a heavily weathered build.24
February 10, 2019Army Star stencil cut from frisket25
February 10, 2019Before my first attempt at an oil pin filter for rust and fading26
February 10, 2019Oil Pin Filter in progress27
February 10, 2019This photo is terrible, but the right arm is weathered, the left one is not.28
February 10, 2019I think i'm going to use weathering master on the raw steel of the inner frame29

February 10, 2019I think the edges of the chipped areas may have gotten worse during the turpenoid application. I wonder if the satin varnish coat i put down after chipping was insufficient to protect it.32
April 24, 2019I wanted to build a more sophisticated base.33
April 24, 2019Initial attempt at rice paddy terrain, but...34
April 24, 2019I didn't like that color scheme, so I reversed it35
