More progress on the #TIETwins projects. Fighter has had pin washes added and some panel lines highlighted with a very sharp graphite pencil. I'm on the fence if this has turned out too dark. Clear hatch and windshield remains for masking only. #BuildTheStash #ScaleModelBS
My own custom TIE colour has been mixed and sprayed on the Fighter and the Advanced. I think I'm happy with the colour. The top hatch and windshield are the clear parts used as masks. Now for the solar panels. #BuildTheStash #TieTwins #ScaleModelBS
The TIE Advanced X1 and the TIE Fighter fuselages are ready for preshading and primer. The shiny painted bits I did will not be visible either. And I still need to address the solar panels for both. #BuildTheStash #TIETwins #ScaleModelBS
Cockpit halves of a Bandai 1/72 TIE Fighter
Cockpit halves are as done as they're going to be. 90% of it won't really be visible anyway. Vader lurks in the background, anxiously awaiting getting his ride back from the shop. Speaking of which, back to the pilots! #BuildTheStash #TIETwins #ScaleModelBS
And all the rest of the interior cockpit decals have been applied. Ended up pinning it down to a piece of foam to keep it steady enough to work on. Glad that's over. #BuildTheStash #ScaleModelBs #TIETwins
The interior bits have been cleared and the first 4 of 15 small, triangular decals for each cockpit assembly have been applied. #TIETwins #ScaleModelBS
Today I painted some shiny bits with a very wee brush. Kind of dumb considering it won't really be visible. 🫤 #ScaleModelBS
Okay model building people, your help is requested. Anyone produce their own decals or know someone who does? Asking for a friend. An interesting sci-fi subject awaits. Please see the below. 👇🏻

And since nobody asked, the instructions are next level good. It's a 28 page booklet that puts many rivals to shame. Printed on glossy stock and with drawings that appear to be done with CAD, it's very easy to follow, and just fun to read through. Gecko ain't messing around. #ScaleModelBS
Work resumes on my 1/35 Tamiya Kubelwagen Type 82 Afrika Korps build.
Remember that Fujimi Abarth kit I was working on? Me neither. So instead I have Kubelwagened tonight. Didn't want to do another desert vehicle right after the Gun Tractor, but here I am. I'll have it it primer tomorrow. #ScaleModelBS
As I'm trying to keep the momentum going from my Quad Gun Tractor, I'm going with something noticeably shiner. Those who know me from the Hellsite, will remember this shape from my past. #Fiat #Abarth 🦂 #Fujimi #ScaleModelBS
Calling it! Not going any further on my Tamiya Quad Gun Tractor. I sort of feel I've already gone too far, but here it is, flaws and all. #Tamiya #ScaleModelBS
A model swap meet was attended this morning and purchase were made. Always wanted a R32 Skyline, but the two Tamiya FW190's, the two Academy P-47's and an old Testors Me-163 for only $10 was too good to pass on. Even scored a pile of free magazines. 👍🏻 #ScaleModelBS
Purchases were made today. 20% off was too good for me to pass up. I got redemption in the form of another Quad Gun Tractor, but with towed gun this time. The Dad Werk RSO has been on my bucket list for a while now. #ScaleModelBS
The Tamiya Quad Gun Tractor build continues with weathering, etc. And after all this, I just realised that I fvcked up. Can you spot the error? #ScaleModelBS #Tamiya #OhShit
The finish is sooooo close now. The body has had decals applied, and both it and the chassis have been made to look at bit more dusty with a fine misting of Tamiya XF-57 Buff. Too dusty and light or good enough? #ScaleModelBS #Tamiya
The Tamiya 1/35 Quad Gun Tractor build continues. The driveline and most of the exhaust has been installed, and the engine will be next. #ScaleModelBS #Tamiya
Update on the little Tamiya 1/48 Universal Gun Carrier. Tracks have been painted (XF-56 metallic grey) and washed with AK Interactive track wash. Gave the radio a little love to show off the rather sharp details. Now glossed up to apply all 11 decals. #ScaleModelBS #Tamiya
Started with a dark green base as I was already spaying it on the wee kit. Decided to go with XF-60 dark yellow and lightly add colour. Thought I'd try to get a bit fancy and see if I can modulate the colours a bit. The photos hide that a bit. Does it need more yellow? #ScaleModelBS #Tamiya.
And the ity bity, Tamiya 1/48 Universal Gun Carrier also in primer and I should have the TS-2 Dark Green to give it some colour. #ScaleModelBS #Tamiya
The Tamiya 1/35 Quad Gun Tractor in primer and dry fit, just for shits and giggles. Now do I have any XF60 Dark Yellow? #ScaleModelBS #Tamiya
Day 1 of vacation and there's been primer...so much primer. Little gun carrier and the quad tractor all done. Ran out of rattle can, so all airbrushed. #MrSurfacer
