I am feeling the resin building hype. I need Power Plants and Comm Arrays like nobody's business.

I am feeling the resin building hype. I need Power Plants and Comm Arrays like nobody's business. Me too! Seriously: that Corporate Headquarters alternate sculpt is fantastic! Somebody is going to enjoy winning that in a few weeks! (P.S. - I fixed the image links in my previous post. Go look!)

Gorghadra round 2 is underway! I’ll try not to completely screw it up at the 11th hour this time!

Gorghadra round 2 is underway! I’ll try not to completely screw it up at the 11th hour this time! Gorghadra round 2 is nearly finished! He’d be done by now if I hadn’t had to work yesterday evening. Paint those teeth, ink the glowy bits, and seal it, and he’s ready to go!

Gorghadra was finished on time!
I totally forgot to take pictures. Oh well. Maybe at the release party in a few weeks!

Dammit man, after all that talk I was looking forwards to seeing the final result!
Sigh. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

Dammit man, after all that talk I was looking forwards to seeing the final result! Sigh. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. So! You may or may not have noticed that I took and posted no pictures last night. I was painting some G-Tanke and a Rocket Chopper and listening to amusing Rifftrax movies instead. I need to figure out a substantially better way to paint my Strike Fighters. The panel lines on those models are killing me. My technique needs refining. When I do eventually post: bear in mind that I spent a total of about 4 or 5 hours on Gorghadra. I was winging it on the painting recipes, and I don’t have any in the round shots of the studio model to use as reference. The Belchers and Crawler were probably 2 hours total, start to finish, if that. They went quickly! Defender X is not just a demo model, and I had a lot of the same problems (no recipes, no 360-degree reference, etc.) when I painted it. He’s probably at the 12-15 hour mark. My biggest mistake was gluing the whole model together before painting. I could have saved a few hours had I painted all the parts separately. Anyway... we’ll see what tonight brings!

Cool, I look forwards to the eventual photos. And I'm not in a position to talk about painting speed: even at my best I'm slow as molasses.

Although it has taken forever, my remaining GUARD units should be finished today!
I just need to finish the oranges on the Strike Fighters first! That amounts to some touch ups (the panel lines...ugh!) and the Blazing Orange ink wash. I suppose I still have to do the blue lights too, but that’s a 10-minute task...
Anyway, better get to it!

So close! Five minutes with some Pig Iron, then I can dull coat four G-Tanks, four Strike Fighters, and a Rocket Chopper!

Hurrah! I sealed the models a few hours ago!
All that is left is to glue them to their bases and/or flight stands, and do a final metal drybrush highlight.
Now all my MonPoc models — except for one super secret model — are finished!
