Hawkeye, Super Hornet, Bombcat, Typhoon, Harrier WiP Update

  The last few weeks have been manic for me, with the wedding stuff we had to sort out to all my hayfever playing havoc with me to my anti-hayfever medication actually knocking me out (long story).  Onto what I have done then.

  First up is the Hawkeye, now the rotordome housing is totally buggered I will not lie there.  However I have managed to scratch build new legs for the housing and get it glued onto the body.  Pictures as follows.

  If you look at the housing you can see that its melted to crap, so I am hoping that the rotordome will hide most of the damage.  The yellow bits are from the sprues for the Ex-S Gundam.  It seems to be working well.  Next up the Hornet.

  I've brush painted on some Vallejo Light Grey to see what it looked like, but shes all masked up for spraying now.  Harrier next.

  Once again all masked up ready for painting, I'm gonna have to sort out those intakes now I look at it.  Bombcat next.

  Yeah I've primed it white, doing a little experiment with it.  But shes ready for spraying soon.

  All primed and ready to be sprayed too.  :)  If you've noticed that the pictures are better than normal, thats because I've purchased a Canon 1100d DSLR.  I love that camera :)

  More to come tomorrow.

  Peace!

Bride and Groom

  Last week Nat and I went down for a 150-ish mile drive to her cousins for their wedding.  You might be wondering why I am putting this on my blog, well read on and I will explain.  Anyhow, as you may or may not know, Nat my girlfriend makes some pretty epic cakes and she was asked to make the wedding cake for her cousin and a cookie monster cake (it's well cool!).  She bought some cake toppers but they where hot-pink in colour, and she wanted them to be more of a babypink colour.  I said to Nat that I could paint it for her.  So I was given the challenge to paint them.  Now this little project involves two new things for me, first one being the use of Vallejo paints.  I've heard loads of good things about these paints and been told to give them a try so I have taken all the advice I was given.  Second, the use of an airbrush, usually I use a brush but an airbrush gives more of an even coverage.  I mixed up the paint, not too sure I like how quick the paint seperates and I dont like how long it takes to dry but I guess there is ways around it.  Onto what I achieved.

  Nat loved the colour and the cake looked great. I learned a lot of things from this and I am happy with what I have done.  Normal blogging will resume soon :)

  Peace!
