The 500: Day 4

Dec 05, 2014 08:28

Yours truly faking painting. 

Note the beverage of the gods.

Men-at-arms I managed to sneak in a couple of hours work last night. Photographed the men-at-arms you see here and finished priming my microtanks. I also found another bag of A-codes in my pile of 15mm scifi troopers. As I already have similar codes on under work, I thought it was best to paint them all at the same time, or it'll just be NTSC with them...

Now, are the A-codes New Anglians form GZG? Maybe... but anyway I prepped another 35 of them. Unfortunately a few were so badly miscast I wrote them off as total losses... maybe I'll make casualties out of them or something, but if the mold halves have been misaligned by 1mm or more on a 15mm figure, it's not really worth it anymore to fix it.

Had a few words with Phil and he confirmed that my BAOR microtanks are old Scotia models I bought from him... a while back.

Next it's time to fire up the airbrush.

Microtank Factory Finished the night by watching the rest of Zeta Gundam. Katsu dead, Reccoa dead, Jerid dead, Henke dead, Camille mindblasted, Emma dead, Paptimus dead, Char dead... no, wait, was that an open cockpit hatch on the wreck of the Hyaku-Shiki? Well, I guess you could say Quattro died. Next on to ZZ.

Even the Hyaku-Shiki grew on me. You just gotta respect a guy who goes incognito with a pair of sunglasses and a giant golden robot!

In case you were wondering about this whole Gundam thing (what have you been watching all these years then, NFL or something?) I just on this fabulous piece of work on the net: Gundam Sousei -- totally worth a read, even if you are not into Gundam it's a great insight into animation production.

Totally a work of fiction... yeah, right. The lady doth protest too much, methinks...

Men-at-arms Figures remaining: 487

Total pledges: 10 GBP

P.S. I'm putting all the 500 figures in a separate box you see here. That'll be easier when it comes to photographing them all together.
