SPA Modeler

This is one from the dark corner of doom. I started this in summer 2013 and it sat there for a year now.

I'm talking of Revell's 1/72 Sunseeker Predator



This was the state when I left it last year





This tape is on there for more than a year I wonder how it will come off ... haven't tried yet

and yep, I also started a base for it








So last week I grabed it from the dark corner and started to smear some paint on to the base



Well at the moment it's more like painting a picture than scale modelling. This base is damn huge, 80x40cm, really don't know what I thought when I started this.

to be continued ...

Nice. I imagine you were thinking "Man this is gonna look so effin cool" not "Man this is gonna take so much effin effort"
Cant wait to see more.
Also i really need to start checking the category in which these pop up. I didnt see it was under the ships page, and as i was clicking i was thinking someone had done a predator action figure lol.

One right after the other, Martin? you are a machine and very efficient. This will be cool.

Thanks scorpio, you're pobably right and it has two other thing which are really strage for me, it has no wings and the finish should be high shine

Well, Paul, at the moment I'm not traveling a lot and the weather isn't nice so I'm sitting at home most evenings, TV is boring so ... This will change when springs looks around the corner again, you know me.

Well, it's going slow at the moment, most time I spend to smear paint onto that base and somehow it did get uglier with each coat, so I made it all white again and restarted it, now the water starts to look the way I wanted it, but still not sure.





The tape did come off pretty well but I have to do some corrections



and yep, I painted some furniture
