Dirfinge Paint Stripping

When I painted the frame of the kit many months ago, I failed to properly sand the legs. Needless to say, I got huge clearly visible seam lines after the airbrushing it. So now I ended up having to strip the paint off.

I'm Back

Just to confirm that I am still alive and have been working on some models. The Zaku III I completed and submitted earliar is still in the shop and I have not gotten it back yet. Seems something went wrong at the group hosting the contest so I think I'm going to go get it back sometime this week and take some better photos. I've made some prebuild for a few models, but for my next project I think I'm going to finish making the Dirfinge and have it in a diorama. Expect some more posts around this week. Anyways, to make up for the lack of posts you can look at these dioramas that I found in a store in Seattle's Japan Town.

Zaku III Finished

Finished the Zaku III and submitted it to the competition. I learned a lot of things during this build and I've improved since the last one. I didn't make the same mistakes as my last build, though I've made new ones. My sanding skills still need a lot of work as the puttied parts still be seen if you look close enough. None are visible in these photos though. The colour scheme was kind of messed up due to me rushing and painting this thing just a day before the deadline. I'll take a proper photoshoot once I get the model back from judging.

Zaku III WIP 4

 

Not really a big update as the Zaku is mostly finished except for the head. This will be my last WIP for the Zaku as I really need to rush to finish and paint the model.

Zaku III WIP 3

Almost finished the Zaku III, but the arms and head still need to be properly attached after what I did to them. Most of the lower body as been completed and are waiting to be painted. I have 17 days left to finish this project and submit it to the Vanpla Zaku Competition. Pictures of the finished project can be expected later on this month.
