Macross!!So, I gave up on that RWB Porsche. The conversion kit was pure shit. Nothing fit right and the casting was terrible. Scrapped.. I've since finished my Zaku that the post with the figure was about.<br />
<br />

<br />
and finished redesigning my hobby site. (see above)<br />
<br />
A few weeks back, I went to a local contest called Spruefest. One of their sponsors was Tamiya and they were selling some new kits for cheap prices, so I picked up the new 1/32 Corsair F4U-1D and the 1/48 BF 109-G6, both new releases. I don't even think the 109 was out yet at the time. So, with those purchases, and the fact i've been working on my Macross VF-1S Valkyrie (Hasegawa) off and on for a while, i've decided to build just airplanes for a while. At least until I get tired of them.<br />
<br />
Here's the progress on the Valk. The fit is ok for the most part, not as good as Bandai or Tamiya, but there are seams to fill and some spots that need reworking. I'm planning to put it in a flight display, so I still need to figure out how to mount it, but there's plenty of time for that, i'm in no rush.<br />

Mainly I wanted to make it easier to add updates to it and to navigate. I added the last three models i've finished in the past year or so as well. A few more in the pipeline.<br />

It's something I started a couple years back but put in a box and left it sitting. I've dug it out lately and have been working on it again. I'll probably finish it soon. It's the MG Zaku II version 2.0. It's a decent kit, nice poseability. I hate these colors, so i've changed it. I'll update when I take new photos.<br />

Man.. this conversion kit kinda sucks. I mean, the details are nice, but the fit is horrible. It's going to take A LOT of work to make it smooth. I had to break some bits off to get the angles right. It's possible it was made for a different Porsche kit than i'm using, or maybe I didn't cut the base model in the right spots.. I dunno. Anyway, i'm confident it'll look ok in the end, it's just going to take more work to get there than I wanted.<br />

I'll be honest here, i'm kinda just "winging it". I already can see that i'll have to do some repairs/filling and more cutting to make things fit right. It's kind of a pain, to be honest. I guess i've been spoiled by the way modern model manufacturers make everything so easy.<br />

Here it is before anything has been done.<br />

I fell in love with Rauh-Welt Begriff Porsches within the past year, so I bought this conversion kit and a Porsche model to make my own. I'll never be able to afford a real one, so this is the best I can do.. More to come!<br />

It's still not perfect, but honestly, i'm tired of messing with it. It needs a coat of wax, but the main paint is done.<br />

The 1/72 Panzer III has a little more progress as well. Mostly still working on the photoetch bits. It's kind of difficult because of the size, i'm probably going to leave a lot of etched parts off because they're so small and fiddly, but it's coming along nicely.<br />

I've been building models at a more steady pace the past few months. Finished a Macross Battroid. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I've also been working on a Fiat Abarth 500. My girlfriend likes this car, so I thought i'd build her one. It's been kind of a pain in the ass to be honest. I can't seem to get the paint right. Everytime I try to buff out a bit of dust or orange peel, I end up going through the plastic and have to re-prime whatever panel it is and respray. Hopefully this next time i'll get it right. The interior's been done for a little while. Just trying to get the body fixed.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
.. and finally, something else I picked up again while waiting for the Abarth's body paint to cure some is this 1/72 Revell Panzer III M. I started it years ago, but got distracted by other things. It should be fun. I ordered some extra detail stuff to go with it. Stay tuned.</div>

The kit comes with two dashboards to make a right or left hand drive version, but the center console, which is different in the two versions isn't interchangeable. So, I hacked it out using Hasegawa saws and stuck it back together in the us version's configuration.<br />

<br />
It didn't go as smoothly as i'd hoped. It took a long while because they wouldn't stay vertical. There was a little pressure in the grooves that they fit in that was popping them back to an uneven position, but eventually they came together. It looks a little rough in the pic, but it should clean up ok.<br />

Not much, but i'll take it. I discovered that I have a missing parts tree in my box and was going to put this project on hold, but decided otherwise after I ordered an all new kit. I'll just keep going and use those parts when they get here.<br />
<br />
So, i've finished the underside and started adding some photoetch bits. The brake rotors, exhaust tips, some grill pieces. I also did a test fit of the wheels.<br />

I've finished some stuff since last updating this blog, and also started a new model. <br />
<br />
First off, new stuff is on my site. 180sx in cars. Enki in Sci-Fi, and hguc Zaku II diorama in Gundam.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bhop73.com/">www.bhop73.com</a><br />
<br />
Ok, with that outta the way. Here's what i'm working on now. My car in real life is a 2013 WRX hatch. I found this model of the STI version, which is as close as I can get. Luckily, it's visually identical! The kit is from Aoshima and seems to be one of their top of the line kits. It's more detailed than some of the other Aoshima cars I have. I also bought a photoetch detail set to go with it and some Enkei NT-03 wheels that I want to get in real life. I have some touch-up paint for my car already so I should be set for the color. <br />
<br />
Here we go!<br />
<br />
My car:<br />

I finally got to use it. It's not very big, but it seems to do the job as long as you're just painting small-ish parts. The fan's not very loud, it sucks pretty good and the detachable hose that sticks out the window takes most of the fumes away as it should. It comes with a little lazy susan, so I used it to stick some stuff to that I needed to paint. When you're done, it folds up into a little box for storage (the hose doesn't fit inside unfortunately).<br />
<br />
Overall, i'd recommend it if you've got a limited work space like I do.<br />

Off and on.. but here is what i've been working on. Fujimi's 180sx Type-X. I didn't really do much in the way of modifications.. really, i'm just putting different wheels on it, adding brakes, racing seats, and exhaust. I chose this grey color that i've been seeing in the car scene. I think it looks pretty good on this car. Anyway.. here it is so far.<br />
