What did you do in your modeling workshop today?

Today, trials and tribulations modifying one figure and painting him.

With five hours invested, calling this a good faith effort to modify and paint a figure for the campaign.

A Navy B/N of course! I should have read the Aires box title! The Jolly Rogers scheme is awesome, either in its earlier 60’s era version or the later black tailed jobby in the 70’s. Great choice John!

Did oil wash today.

Hope to be able to drybrush tomorrow…and to make that possible the old heat lamp that melted a Dragon T-34/85 is back in action :clapper:

The old Death Ray lamp seems to make for
better pictures than the LED lights.

Fascinating (sorry, Gene Roddenberry!). I always like the AVRE and the flying dustbins in particular. Great work!

Oddly, I wrote a grad paper on the significance of GEN Sir Percy Hobart’s “Funnies” to the Allied effort during and post D-Day. Sixteen years later I commanded the Breach Team for my BDE during ODS. The irony was not lost on me.

Could you elaborate?

The general Anti-Drybrushing view that’s so popular these days?

Thanks

Take a soft lead pencil and color in where you want the paint worn off. It gives a great burnished steel effect.

Nearly finished with my “stock” refurbish of the Mattel Eagle One. My custom 2.75" Professor Bergman pictured next to it for scale. Most of this version is vintage except for the side doors, red reactors and large engine bells that I 3D printed.

Got some bench time and finished my build. It was a fun build and a great mojo rejuvenator. I should get a few more egg kits, for medicinal purposes only :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:



Thanks for looking

Cheers :beers:
