Wounded ReZEL – Complete

After an initial disaster at my first attempt at pastel weathering, my wounded MG ReZEL has been completed. It didn’t turn out like I wanted to. Some people like, some don’t. Take a look at decide for yourself. My thoughts on the project at the bottom.

For the most part the kit is a straight build. Just a few silver touch ups and lining here and there. I intended for this kit to be a quick and easy build, nothing elaborate. read more

Wounded ReZEL WIP Update 02: Pastel Woes

For my damaged ReZEL I decided to give pastel weathering a shot. Everything was going good until I gave it a top coat of Testor’s Dull Cote. All of the pastel soaked up into the coat and nearly disappeared.

The outcome was better than I expected, but completely out of left field. (Better because I expected to wake up and see an unsalvageable mess)

The whole situation is no different than when a dirty car gets hit with a little bit of rain. Dirty little water spots. read more

Wounded ReZEL WIP Update 01

Built this guy a few weeks ago, finally had sometime to get started on it today. (Mainly because I’ve all but run out of paint for last pieces of my FA Unicorn)

Anyhow, this is a short and simple attempt at a battle worn ReZEL inspired by the Unicorn episode two. While in the ep, the leg is severed at the knee, I thought that would be too easy. So I decided to cut (err, melt) at the thickest part.
