Icarus's blog: "Hurts to watch."

Welllllllll


treeing all these parts was a BITCH and I don't even have enough alligator clips for the kit.

(treeing: the term I use for disassembling the parts and hanging or clipping or suspending them for paint)

There's a lot of short comings with HG 1/144 scale kits.
I really dunno why people are so bonkers about em and why they have more varied kits (for the most part HG's have a lot of variant suits like [insert gundam name] "Full Armor")

The 1/100's are DESIGNED for redesign and repaint ... look at how you can take the armor paneling off >>
hell I know a guy that's painting the frame and the plating seperate by skeletonizing, painting, painting panels and reassembling.


Anyhow.

I think I went through... ... 6 5:4's and all told it was about 5 ounces of material.

I think that was about ALL I used to prime the NZ.

So we have a lot more surface area to go over on this kit, and a lot more curvature.

Right now everything's glazed in the garage with one coat... and I am debating if I want to clean my airbrush again today.

It's 9:00 I can't get the Royals game on, and I've ordered about $100 of custom parts and decals, closing on 2 kits with my seller, and I splurged ... did I splurge? on food today.

I always say if I don't feel like doing something, I shouldn't.

Let's talk about food elsewhere.
