Wow, another post another build, the new Hasegawa Glaug kit!

So yeah, I didn’t think I’d get another kit built this year after those two Corsairs, but here we are. I cracked open the Hasegawa 1/72 scale Glaug kit a little over a week ago, on Oct 3rd. Playing around with the first part of the build, it seemed very nicely engineered. The leg and feet were a crap ton of parts and the engineering was damn nice.

They engineered it so there were no long seams along the leg. The clear red pieces could be assembled after the whole leg was painted as well since it’s not glued together for seam fixes. Here’s a quick video of the leg engineering and mobility.

Having built the old Arii/Bandai 1/100 Glaug kit over 20 years ago, I’m pretty damn impressed. This was also roughly a week long build; so there are not too many progress pictures, but you get the idea. (more…)

Look, two F4U Corsairs!

I was fairly close to finishing the 48th scale Corsair about mid September but never really got around to posting anything since I moved right into working on the 72nd scale kit; or rather, finishing what I started on the 72nd. I did drag my feet for about a week or so since I really did not want to take the time to work on the seams and redo details. But I ended up finishing both kits so here’s the final processes done for the 48th first.

Getting right into the work we got the decals for the kit. They are pretty thin and delicate and I ended up breaking a few, but nothing a little pushing and pulling won’t fix. And in some cases, some paint and weathering to hide things.

Continued after the jump. (more…)
