Lindberg

UPDATED 06/02/12

This is the 3rd of these kits that I have owned. The first one that I actually get to build though.
The other 2 are still in the house, they were just claimed by my daughter.
The first one, she did many years ago.
So I got another one. Well, before I got to it, my daughter decided she wanted to try the kit again, to see how much better she could do on it now.
Well, I got another one this year at WF. I'm starting on it now, before she claims this one too! .

The building is done, and now it is time to move on to painting this beast.

Not much yet. I primed it black to get me started.
Then dusted it with a dark grey to give me some sense of where the light would be hitting it.

Coming along.
About 3 drybrushing sesions in now.
Next will be sealing it, then giving it a nice dark wash. Might even end up doing 2 washes.
Then a couple more drybrush sesions just to hit the very highest areas.

After a black wash then a little light blue dryfrushing on the spines.

Light gray drybrushing, and just a bit of spot washes with more black. Just to highlight things a bit better.
Next up will be putting all those spines on, and a very light white drybrushing.

All the back plates are finally in place.
Only took like 5 hours to put them all in. What a pain.
Had to clean all the super glue off each plate after I took it off the toothpick.
Also had to clean out the hole it went in, and in some cases open the hole up more.
Thank to them distorting when I reposed the kit.

Eyes are done, and I have the teeth in the mouth.
Nails are done too. Now I just have to touch up the back plates.
Then dulcote, then gloss the eyes,, claws and mouth.
