Trying something completely new for me this time around. I found this resin model of Grogu on the internet, and since my girlfriend loved The Mandalorian, and of course, Grogu, I decided I wanted to surprise her with this figure painted by my self.

It's my first time painting a figure so let's see how it goes

Hello Welcome here 🙂

Don Knecht
Thank you! I was thinking this morning that it would be nice if someone had a database of what detail kits and decals are available (or were) for a certain model. Later, I stumbled upon how this site works, and it's everything I was looking for and more.

Looking incredible! Following

Ludwig Micallef
Thanks Miguel

Doubtingmango
Beautiful spit!

Matti Thomaes
Very beautiful dio, the waves look so real

Vincent
Very nice!!! Great work on the water effects.

Miguel Vaquero
Incredible Ludwig!! How did you make those waves, they look amazing

Ludwig Micallef
Thanks for the comments lads!

@Miguel - the water is mainly epoxy resin tinted with light transparent blue, let that set and then built up the waves using AK water effects which isn't fully clear when it cures, then finished off using AK water foam effects for the white foam. Along the way I used an airbrush to create the natural shapes of the waves & foam and a damp piece of foam for the bubbles.

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks for the info Ludwig!! Your results are amazing. I intend to create soon a sea diorama with resin too so I really appreciate all this info

Bozzer
One of these is going to be my next build.

Nigel Chapman
Oh yes, first in the queue already!🤘

Bozzer
I need to do it, because my Hideout Truck looks lonely 😉

Nigel Chapman
Yes I thought you had one already. Loved to have seen it in real life

Bozzer
I do have another. They're both still factory sealed, but the box on one, is tired. I was going to build another tribute truck, but this is exactly that, so it's going to happen. Just need to get some more black paint, so a trip to Hobbycraft is on the cards. Been busy recently with decorating. Went stateside last weekend and brought the other half home. Philly and back, in 48hrs! Now I have a permanent build buddy 🙂

Christoph Kunz
Taking a seat.

Villiers de Vos
Taking a seat as well. I have both these models in my stash.

Edouard Carr
Hey Villiers/Christoph - hope you enjoy the build and thanks for watching the progress. Thinking about a custom paint job on the second spitfire with reference to the album power slave of which Aces High is from. Have some home print decal sheets that I have been meaning to use for years so might try testing them out. Revell have been kind enough to send a second Eddie Sprue so will have him seated in both planes when completed.

Mr D
Brilliant 👍👍
Great project, Pilots looking menacing 💀💀
Enjoy

Edouard Carr
Cheers Mr D 😉

Jan Peters

Up the Irons! I gotta get started on my kit one of these days... Lookin' good so far!

Ben M
Hi! I use about 40% tamiya X-20A thinner to 60% tamiya paint for airbrushing at about 20 psi with a 0.4mm nozzle. If I'm having tip drying problems I will also add one or two drops of tamiya retarder.

Guy Rump
Lovely job, congrats! 👍

Bozzer
I had to import this from the states, because it's still not hit the shores of Britain yet. I've heard so many good things about it, I just had to have one.

Nigel Chapman
Can I ask how much and did you get caught with VAT?

Mona

Bozzer
@nigel.
I got it off the internet for around £32 all in. I'll find you the link...

Bozzer
Try that Nigel

Nigel Chapman
Wow great price. I always Amazon were expensive for kits

Bozzer
Go for it buddy. You only live once 🙂

Desert Marlin
This is looking like it will be a blast to complete!

Desert Marlin
Any suggestions on which squadron would be most appealing?

Mr D
Nice model here... Enjoy 😁👍

Desert Marlin
Thanks!

Desert Marlin
The IsraDecal publication is absolutely pricesless for this project!

Guy Rump
Interesting, following.👍
