G'day guys, just thought I'd share the build up of one of the "Legult Standard Version" kits that I am building up for a customer. Since it is a build up rather than an announcement I thought it deserved it's own thread. This particular kit was used to take a few photos for the assembly instructions so this is what it looked like when I started this afternoon:  The parts were only lightly tacked together so a few minutes later it looked like this:  After this it will need a few blemishes smoothed out and get all primed up which will happen over the new few days - wish me luck. Cheers, Brett |

Need to build 80 kits per year until I'm 100 to deplete my stash. Maybe I should sell a couple.

Thanks guys - it is good to be posting here on the boards again  But not everything has been going to plan. Since this is being built up for a tor collector I thought I would add in some points of articulation using ball joints. Add first things were going well and looked good:   But in the end the physics won the day. The resin is too heavy and the design too tall and awkward for the joint to be tight and stable enough. I just wasn't satisfied enough to be comfortable so I will fill in all the holes and keep going. While it didn't work it was worthwhile checking out and I learned a bunch about ball joint limits Cheers, Brett |

Einstein! Now what did that guy ever do for anyone... Anyway I finally managed to get this thing in primer. I picked up a few spots to smooth out and then I can start laying down colour.  By the way what is the deal with getting photobucket spam images in the posts when you quote? |

Einstein! Now what did that guy ever do for anyone... Einstein? He came up with a theory about space...and it was about time too  By the way what is the deal with getting photobucket spam images in the posts when you quote? There's a PB link embedded somewhere in the code - if you use Firefox I can tell you how to get rid of it. Mecha looks great! |
