rockpopandchips Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) This was a cheep purchase with a few resin figures I ordered from a China a few weeks back, I think it was about £2.50 so didn't expect much but thought it might be fun to build and paint. I comes as simple push together kit but as the price might surgest it not the best fit so I have glued it and added a bit of putty to fill the biggest of the gaps. Once built its about 11cm so probably about 1/100 scale. Now with a bit of primer it not to bad looking. The stickers that come with the kit are terrible so I will have to see what I came use from my current biplane build. If I can muster up the enthusiasm I will build a few floating rocks for a small dio. Edited April 17, 2020 by rockpopandchips 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 A quick bit of paint using the airbrush and hand painted a few details and we have this. Might add some becals and a pannel wash yet. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S5 modeller Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Nice work. It's looking like a nice little kit, we'll worth the price you paid for it. The only other kit I've seen of this subject was a horrendously expensive resin kit. I think it will look cool in a little diorama. Looking forward to more.

rockpopandchips Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Cheers Matt. I'm going to start sculpting some floating rocks tonight. I figured I would make them like I normally would and then just turn it upside down so the piont was is on the bottom... Not done a dio for ages so it's about time I did one again. Quick pics for now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to seeing the dio, its off to a good start Brian Cheers, I cut this up a bit more this morning to give it a bit more open look. Slapped on some PVA to seal it, and once dry I will see if it needs any putty or filler to smooth it out but I intended to paint it as it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 What a difference a bit of black and grey spray paint makes. I will need to leave this now to fully dry before doing some brush painting and colouring the rocks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Couldn't wait for it to fully dry so I have added some paint and first pass of green. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVoidDragon Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Nice work! That kit looks pretty good for such a low price, I didn't expect there to be anything based on Avatar either! Where did you get it from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DalekCheese Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 That’s a nice kit/ diorama. However, I’m not sure that it’s the best time to be buying from China 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
