GUEST GALLERY: Ma.k Maschinen Krieger Jerry 1/35 by MARCEL DU LONG.

7:20 AM | Labels: 1/35, Dioramas, Guest Gallery, Nito, Sci-Fi, Tamiya

Back in Sci-Fi with this wonderful work by Marcel du Long based in Kow Yokoyama´s Ma.K universe. Marcel used the Maschinen Krieger "Jerry" kit from Nito along Tamiya´s Austin Tilly and some figures to make an awesome desert scene. I love the composition and the natural poses of the figures. The combination of colours between the ground, Ma.K, vehicle and figures creates a beautiful contrast and the great attention to detail allows us to discover interesting things wherever we look. In short, a small piece of art.
I should build one of these Ma.K things, I love this stuff!

GUEST GALLERY: "The Steel Beast" 1/35 by RICARDO RODRIGUEZ.

12:50 PM | Labels: 1/35, AFV, Guest Gallery, Sci-Fi

This time I would like to show you the 1/35 tank from the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade made by Ricardo Rodríguez. If you have had a look to the Guest Gallery you already know of his skill. This is a 100% scratch job made from styrene sheet and a number of different materials. The tank from the movie was built by George Gibbs based in the design of the "International/Liberty" Mark VIII tank.
It´s a wonderful model full of awesome details and even more, it reminds me my favourite Indy movie. I hope you also enjoy it.

The "Sandtrooper" work: Kotobukiya 1/6 aprox.

3:54 AM | Labels: 1/6, Kotobukiya, Sci-Fi, Star Wars

“Let me see your identification” –Favourite phrase of the Sandtroopers along the Galaxy-

Who doesn´t like those beautiful Star Wars statues by Kotobukiya? They are nicely sculpted...by not so nicely pre-painted in some cases. That´s what happens with the weathering of the Sandtroopers. It is really ugly. So I decided to repaint it.

Other problem with these figures is the mould lines. If you want to treat the figure as a scale model you must eliminate those nasty lines. No discussion.

My first intention was to repaint and weather it but after painting the white coat and the shading the angles it looked so good to me that I left it just that way, no weathering at all. He has just got off the shuttle.

To fully repaint these figures it is not affordable if you have dozens of them but they are so wonderfully sculpted that I think it worth the effort to improve some of them.
