At last, she is finished, and I’m pretty damn happy.

Okay, before I get into the photos, how about some info on the project? 

The scheme I followed on this kit is actually quite simple; all of the purple pieces would receive white decals and black detailing, all of the white parts would receive silver decals and silver detailing, and all of the silver parts would receive gold details and black lining. The brilliance is in its simplicity while the challenge was sticking to it. Here and there I thought of adding a little bit of this here, or a bit there, but keeping things consistent definitely paid off in the end. read more

Time to take a break from FFXIII and share some WIP shots of my purple Nemo. It’s coming along quite well, though there are a few issues. One of the things I was worried about was getting the kit from green to a proper white. Several parts look good but there are two that could have used a few more coats of primer. Unfortunately I couldn’t tell by looking at them during the painting stages, but now that they’re together along side an appropriately painted counterpart, it’s pretty obvious. Luckily they don’t seem to show that evidently in my photos. read more

Been awhile since I updated with any progress on this kit. Things have been sorta slow going. Partly due to the demands of work and partly due to the difficulty getting parts the proper color. Priming to white is a lot more difficult than I thought it would.

Anyhow, some photos. Starting with the purple bits…

It’s come out a lot darker than I would have liked, but I’m not going to fret over that. In addition I’ve got a decent amount of orange peel going due to the glossy top coats. I’m just horrible when it comes to gloss. read more

Here are some photos of my (most likely) last MG Nemo build. It’s for the Grunt MS Group Build over at the Gundam Australia Forums.

The intent is simple, a clean build featuring sparky purple, pure white, and silver details. As always I will be trying something new, mainly a painted silver frame and metal decals. In addition it will be my first attempt with a acrylic gloss topcoat.

Here’s a look at the frame… read more
