Last night I got through the marbling with the sponge. Here are some pictures of the finished parts with a heavy gloss coat applied to the surface. I also took a couple of quick videos of the process to add on the advanced paint techniques tutorial page at a later date.
It has been more than 2 full months since I last posted any sort of progress on projects I’m currently working on. With coming back from Otakon, and seeing how inspired my friend Brian is on his fairly new interest in model building; the feelings come back and I found myself sitting down at my work bench, sanding pad in one hand, and parts of Kanu in the other. Being on Skype with Brian is certainly helping the motivation as well. Via the webcam, I just got itching with watching him sit there and build. I put up my webcam on my work bench light and started filling and sanding. The below pictures were done in early July for my presentation at Anime Expo, but I hadn’t had the chance to make an update.
Ok, I am currently uploading the latest version of my model building tutorials. So far I have it up on mininova and will be putting it up on other torrent trackers too. Gunpla Model and Resin Anime Figure tutorial ver…
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.
