A little under a month ago, I started working on a Morrigan figure sculpted by JYOJYO (also known as OOXOO). Of all the Morrigan figures I’ve seen, this is definitely my favorite and what I believe the best looking and best proportioned. The Morrigan pretty much started as I was finishing the Midnight Zaku. Additionally, about a week ago, I started work on my part for the SCGMC raffle prize. More information about both kits following the jump.

I’ve been working on the kit daily since the previous update. Progression slows down quite a bit towards the end of the builds are allowance for things to cure is always a good thing. I also didn’t take many pictures of the actual kit’s progression as most of the time was spent dealing with clear coats, decals, and more masking. I did however take step by step processes for the display base. The title says 97% since I’m still painting the last bit to the kit, the Heat Hawk, so it will be another couple of days, and at the time of this posting, I’ve also cut about an inch off of the acrylic rod to shorten the distance between the kit and the base.

I’ve been getting some steady work done on the Zaku speed build. Up until this weekend, the thing was a shiny beast. I allowed an extra day for the clears to fully cure up before moving on the next stage, masking. I don’t want the paint to lift, and more importantly, I do not want the decals to lift either. So the extra cure day isn’t too big a deal. This weekend was also the annual John Williams concert at the Hollywood Bowl. I’ve been coming to his concerts at the Bowl for well over ten years. With a beautiful full moon lighting the dark skies around the Hollywood hills, the cool night air is filled with amazing works performed by outstanding musicians.
