Decaling done







Nutcracker painting update 2

More painting on the Nutcracker. I'm pretty pleased with how the panel shading is coming out. A secret, it's actually a mistake when I started, because I could not remember what the original paint coat was, and I started again with a slightly lighter shade. Happy Accidents...I plan to add a little more washed out lining, then gloss, decal, and the real fun begins, weathering this sucker up hard...

Nutcracker Update







AFS Build Update

Again the basic color has been laid down and some slight camo added.



AFS MkII update

The basic color has been laid down. I also made larger shoulder armor using fake toenails and some bolt details I'll be changing the tone through filters and weathering

Size comparison

Just FYI, the "martian" is advertised as 1/18 scale, but looks darn close to acceptable 1/20 scale. Here's some side by side with the new Brickworks pilot kit and some suits. Just fill the holes in the head where the antennae go and you have a pilot. Cheaper at $20 that the Brickworks figures got AND you have a spacecraft!





My Favorite martian build

Just got this kit from Pegasus, it's  really cool. It has a fantastic sculpt of Ray Walston- the "martian" the space craft took 5 minutes,... 5 MINUTES seriously to build. The paint on the Martian is just some rough basecoating.

Basic paint color has been started.
I am not sure if this will be a single color suit
or if it will be a camo scheme.
