rockpopandchips Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Building and painting a figure this big has always been a bit intimidating so not sure how I going to approach this but on with cleaning it up and dry fitting before it has a bath. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 She is beautifully moulded. I mean that from a model-making perspective (not a "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" one). I will be following your progress with much interest. Chris. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f111guru Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Figures are not generally in my bag of tricks but will follow if I may. The quality of the mold details is mind boggling. Granted it's 1/6th scale but WOW just wow. All The Best, Ron VanDerwarker Edited August 16, 2021 by f111guru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzulscha Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 She's a Synth! Aaaiieee! Shoot her! Nice sculpt though, in a macabre sort of way. She looks like she'll be a lot of fun to paint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers all for your interest, on with cleaning and sanding to make sure it all slots together as I'm going to paint it and then build it. I still need to find my stash of paper clips, so I can get her pinned as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 I did have the option of a smaller gun, but I couldn't get it to sit in hand very well, so I went with the bigger one. I do also have a sniper rifle from the same company still to build. I bet that is massive. The gun I have finished that if I stick with this one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Knackered airbrushed stops play, I really don't look after it properly so I'm not surprised. New needed nozzle and seal kit ordered from https://www.air-craft.net/index.html. I'm on with a deep clean; it's amazing it worked at all the amount of crap I'm getting out of it.

rockpopandchips Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 My H&S Evo Silverline is about 5 or 6 years old now and this is only the 2nd or 3rd time I have really stripped it down, as you can see the body it's looking a bit tarnished and so are all the brass bits. This airbrush really takes a beating from me and never spend any time cleaning it properly, so it's about due a bit of extra care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I love using an air brush when there is issues man it's a pain! I'm the same though, don't look after mine how I should, my paint routine always starts with pulling the needle out with pliers and wiping it because it's stuck as usual! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 OK so I'm now one of the weird ones. Looks like H&s have changed there nozzle, my old one looks a bit shorter but they be from use. Not much in it with the old vs new needles, the older one looks to have lost some of its pointynrss. They are both the newer H&S v2.0 needles that are significantly better in every way the older ones. Glad to report the Airbrush is all back together and working fantastic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Monty Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Just fascinated by this build. The detailing on guns and figure is amazing. One six scale means she's gonna need a shelf all to herself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzulscha Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 That girls doesn't need a gun, looks to me like she wants a few body panels. ..and maybe a pair of pants. I don't think I've ever actually killed an airbrush. I have a couple that I've replaced most of the parts on but they keep on working. The one I use most was made in 1906. A Paasche type H is what I use more than anything else, the nickle plate is wearing through to the brass, but it never quits! I can practically blow peanut butter through that thing 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 It's the perfect temperature out in Yorkshire tonight so I have put the first coats of primer on two kits, my 1/6 android and a @Hunter Rose had to get one after you started yours. A 125mm 3d printed Mando & child Did a single light source BW picture of mando to show me the high and low lights as if the sun was comming from the same direction. Never done this before but it will make a great reference picture for when I come to paint him. Back on the Halfords primer as well, love this stuff. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
