My current project Fliege

I haven't built anything in so long I thought better get with something. What better then a classic S.F.3.D Nitto kit.


























Relocating the elbow more forward in the arm gun and extending the front of the arm gun.

Replacing the spring finger hand with a more interesting older 1/144 scale gundam replacement hand from Wave.
























Quick snap together of the shell to see what the pilot looks like in there.

The tube holes there on the sides will have a couple of missiles barely sticking out there thanks to some old 1/35 resin wine bottles by Verlinden. Also replacing detail that I had sanded off while I was filling the seams


While I was at it I added a couple of handles or brush guards over the front window to give it that deep sea diver look. I just thought it needed something there for protection.

AlienExoskeleton from the movie Independence Day

A 1/10 scale plastic kit by Linberg. Out of the box build except placing it on a larger wooden base
and using Liquitex Texture gel resin sand to blend the wooden base with the plastic base the kit comes with. I also made a clear resin name plate "ID4", painted it sliver first then a top coat of gloss black and lightly sanded the name to show the silver on the back side to give it a weird look. I airbrushed the whole kit virus colors to give it as seen on screen look.

     

Guyver Zoanoid

This vinyl 1/6 scale model kit by Elfin was an out of the box build with the exception of chrome orbs placed on the head and waist of the kit. Also used two old Bic lighter holders for the base and scratch built little Guyver Units out of wire and epoxy putty.
