Thanks Brian! No its my sons birthday weekend so no more modelling till monday, but next week I'm hoping the hand will be on with gun in place

Just a little update this afternoon, I have made more progress with his gun Used a trusty 1/48 scale ammo box to fill the gap on the stock and add another detail, wedged it in with a thin piece of styrene pic1 by Nick Frost, on Flickr Then gave it a spray with some black gloss, before laying down some alclad airframe aluminium for the metal bits. pic2 by Nick Frost, on Flickr pic3 by Nick Frost, on Flickr And its now all masked up ready to painted in a dark green colour pic4 by Nick Frost, on Flickr Was hoping to spray the paint today but ran out of time on my lunch break (bloody work getting in the way of my modelling!) So next up I'll get the rest sprayed and make a start on sculpting the gun handle for it to sit on in the guys hand. Thanks for looking, more soon

Oh wow thats really cool! Lots of cool details and I love the Buster Friendly reference!

Cool little build! I really like the dusty finish

The Sazabi is amazing, love the shotgun!

Another little update, did another round of slime, this time with much less paint in the medium to help with the glossy slime look, which I applied pretty liberally!

I was going to use tubing to hold the wires but there just isn't enough room. IMG_20190909_134416 by Nick Frost, on Flickr I have decided against a knuckle guard, I'm going to have some sort of boxy detail sticking out of the gap in the stock (still thinking about that) and I'm going to sculpt a handle out of green stuff directly into his hand which it can then be glued on top of. I just want it to be as easy as possible to be able to accurately line up the gun and the laser beam with the hole in the plant. Also I have now just finished the shading around all the edges with graveyard dirt pigment IMG_20190916_134058 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20190916_134116 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20190916_134126 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20190916_134139 by Nick Frost, on Flickr Think next I'll add a bit of light chipping here and there and I'll get the handle of the gun sculpted, I want his hand on asap as it will make me feel like I'm getting somewhere! Thanks for looking, more soon

Damn that's looking good!

Wow that's a real gem! Wonderful work

Cheers fatalbert! And me too!! Thanks Pete! Yeah it's not looking good!

Thanks mate, feels good being back. Whoa I wish! Haha! But hopefully he won't take much longer

More Alien goodness! Great paint again Andy

Cool, nice seeing the finished project Brian, the pop of those vibrant colours is genius! Love the sci fi feel of it all

Some fantastic scratching going on, it looks great!
