Model Build Gathering 5/25/2008
We had the 11th build gathering this past weekend on a Sunday because it was Memorial Day Weekend. We had a slight drop in numbers, but 19 people is still a good number. There were a couple of new faces…
Kanu Progress and New Tutorials Update
Quick update from the past couple of days. I pinned and glued most of the two part pieces and filled the gaps using epoxy putty. Below is the robe piece in a vice while the epoxy glue dries.
1/6 Kanu Uncho (関羽雲長) Progress
Started this project this weekend. This is a 1/6 scale Kanu sculpted by ä¸å±±æ „æ²» which is a sculpt based on the same picture that Bome used for their 1/4 scale Kanu. The remaining Nu is waiting for some demos this weekend and will be finished once I get the demos for the build gathering. So time to start work on updating and creating videos for the figure building tutorials. The interesting thing about this kit is that is came with a sheet of water slide decals for the robe.
Another tutorial update
Again, as I’ve been progressing through the HGUC Nu Gundam builds, I’ve been taking a good number of videos of various process that may or may not be intuitive to newer modelers. I’ve already gotten a few requests for videos of certain techniques, and I hope to get more. What may come as second nature to me may not be as intuitive to others, so I need the feed back to know what else I should focus the camera. Additionally, I’m trying to get it so that the videos are focused on the actual process, so hopefully, my video taking skills are getting better.
The first thing for this update is that I added a masking Tutorial to the pack. For now it focuses on masking gunpla, I will update it soon when I some masking work on a figure kit. Click here for the masking tutorial.
