No Progress, only pain

So I have made no progress this week. I have been trying to rest my arm for the past couple of weeks due to significant elbow and wrist paint affecting my use of cutters and airbrush I am hoping to be back next week or so

Haven't had any time to progress this week but I did spend some time looking over decals that I might like to use.

Prep work

No major progress this week as life and dying PC got in the way. But I managed to get some prep work done to start getting pieces into paint.

Progress

I made some progress this week getting all pre paint sub assemblies done. Seam lines on shoulders and torso have been removed. And I used a new technique to ensure the knee joints don't scratch and show flesh tone plastic. Using idye poly dye, I dyed the plastic of the knees black.

Head and hair fit up

The head and hair had the first fit up. As the hair is layered I can do some of the multi layer effects I want. However I had to use a different head core than the one that came with the kit so it's a different colour but it gave me the idea to chrome the head core, which I love.

Gotta love a cannon

So the weapon and hair set arrived this week and I got straight to work building the little armory m134. Absolute masterpiece of a weapon kit.

Build Starts

As this is my first megalomaria build I started some limited assembly work to allow me to make some decisions. I will be doing skin painting which on Girlpla is unusual for me. But I also discovered that there are some internal parts that are going to need paint due to their visibility. I also need to two part paint some shoulder components. For the key limb joints I am taking a different approach, with articulated models painted joints take significant prep and even so will almost always chips and scratch, so this time I am going to be dying the joints and only painting recess details.

Biography

Hi Everyone, Around 2021 i got back into model building after a very long time away from it via the discovery of Mecha Musume/Bipla/Girlpla kits. 5 years on i am still building and kitbashing girlpla but i have also branched out into building scratch built / kitbashed sci-fi models and dioramas with the occasional gunpla or odd miniature painting project.
