not dead yet [May. 6th, 2009|07:07 pm] |
there was a glimmer of hope with today's job applications, one that I just had nailed in every aspect. Now if there's just a chance of getting noticed over all the other candidates. *sigh* |
I don't want to give up like this, but if I don't get something I'll probably have to move to my dad's winter place in Tampa, too small and far from everything, but nearly free. If that happens I may be able to study and maybe even get a degree or some certs finally, but I'm really not even sure it's worth it. |

Well, I'm off to see a man about a pig. |

Progress today, but not much. |
the airbrush compressor seems to be running without leaks now. yay! |
Got the black paint and the white paint, did some touch-ups on parts I had to butcher and repair (esp. the front skirt armor), re-did the white pieces, they're now totally done. yay! |
I sprayed pre-white on my thruster bells and baffles. Baffles are done, the bells are prepped for yellow and orange. |
I'm putting off spraying the red armor because frankly I'm a bit terrified of it. |
Then after allll that, gold. |

Whatever. Just go to the link and make my life easier since nobody seems to care about it here anyway. |

Armed with fresh Squadron White and Tamiya surface primer, I went at the shoulder seams again. Disassembled, cleaned up, and re-asssembled, this time with cement between the offending seams. Filled, sanded, primered, sanded. Looking better. |

No pics yet, nothing dramatic to show. |
I airbrushed the frame with MM Acryl Gunship Grey. It had been a while since I broke the airbrush out, so that was interesting. I first attempted to thin the paint with Polly-S airbrush thinner, but the two obviously didn't get along, generating nasty clumps that clogged my airbrush up completely. (I was spraying at 20... |
There will be a few complications when painting, but quite few compared to many other kits: The back of the head needs to be painted assembled, as the seam there needs to be smooth. |
I've decided to finish the inner frame first before moving on to other parts. So far I've picked out bits and pistons and cables here and there in silver, and undercoated silver for some of the brighter colors like yellow. didn't get much done today since I got to a rather late start. I'm gonna get a bit complicated wi... |
One more thing, I'm debating just how much of the armor should be glossy: all of it, none of it, just the red, or just the black. I had been leaning towards a satin red and gloss black/gold, but I've seen some very nice, glossy sinanju art lately... |

After a break for supplies, we're back! |
So now I'm prepping for painting. I've got my: |
floral foam |
coffee stirrers |
loctite blue fun-tak |
Hopefully polly-s airbrush thinner will work fine with tamiya and model master acrylics. ^.^ Anyone have experience with this? |
Additionally, I'm exploring what metallic paints will work best for the trim here. Obviously, Tamiya silver and gold are out of the question, as they're far too grainy. My Reaper master series gold is quite nice, but there's no way it's going through the airbrush. If I were to hand-brush the gold, I'd have a winner, th... |

As usual, image heavy, though I fiddled with the compressions and it should load a lot faster now. |

Yeah, I'm a total Zeke. |
Cracked this open today and got started. As usual for a build like this, I ignore the instructions assembly order and jump to the interesting parts first: The weapons. Got out the noted trees and got to work. Unlike many *cough* of my other projects *cough*, I plan to do this one right from the start. Just for future r... |
