  1. Yep but love applying decals, I find it relaxing.... Well I have finished the Perfect Strike and happy with the outcome, the matt top coat is not as matt as I would like but other than that its OK.
  2. More decal fun than you can shake a stick at.....but making good progress. image hosting services
  3. Working on decals, order the RG decals kit to add some more detail and interest and because I really enjoyed putting decals onto these kits.
  4. After saying that I'm just hand painted a few parts of this kit with acrylics, gloss over, before decals and a matt finish.
  5. Yeh, I always prime with a can of Halfords primer, and I have used every type of paint going on top of that without issue. That's a great kit to paint, a lot of parts...
  6. I will do, did 120ish miles last weekend around South and West Yorkshire. Here she is just after I set off from Ilkley. It took me about 2 months to get it cleaned, serviced and road safe. ZX636 is a nice bike, would kill my hips and back nowadays....lol. The Aile has had 2 fins fitted from the old old No grade kit, and fitted the shield and beam rifle so we now have the OP Strike Gundam....
  7. Hi Pete. It's a lot less confusing than taking a the bike apart and fixing the broken plastic faring, I knew this hobby would come in handy at some piont.... Here is what I have been fixing, melting metal mesh into the plastic, then going over with 2-part resin and it works ..... I know, unbelievable! back on 2wheels after nearly 20 years away. On with all the mechanical stuff as well, that is all new to me.
  8. The next one Strike is the Perfect Strike, but this is made up of a mix of the HG kit and the EG kit. The main body and most of the Aile Striker are the EG kits, just because the parts and colour separation are much better and the legs and feet of the EG are much nicer looking. I will build up the HG Strike so there will be some comparison on the three kits.
  9. Hi all Found some time to do a bit of kit bashing after spending an age on an old Kawasaki Ninja 500r. The first one is an HG Zowort Heavy and an EG Strike, after a a bit of cutting up and filler this is ready to paint. calling this one the Ground Type Strike Gundam. upload pic
  10. Just sorting out a new bench out, some place warm of the garage and I will back to this... Cheers Brian.
  11. Slowed a little but have decided to make a diorama using few other kits that have lost broken or just forgotten about for a bit. Will add a good size tree as well.
  12. Now there is some paint in the girl you can really see the nasty molding, I could go back and sand it out more but life is to short for that.....😁
