More older work. Completed the 1/20 Amuro Ray figure in 2022, Bright Noah in the late 1980s. I need to do more figures...

I dig this look. 😅

Hat was a gift from many years ago. It became a prop over my work bench but recently cleaned and thought I should finally wear it.

The dio assembly. Painting the dio base is all that's left which I'll be doing with my older daughter.

The prop CA glued to the engine shaft. From this angle, I dig the prop!

The painted prop after satin topcoat (VMS) and prior to Tamiya grey pin wash around the center section and hub.

The paints airbrushed to create the effect. They were super-thinned via MLT and sprayed at relatively low pressure.

Dora Wings 1/48 Gee Bee "Batman 1935" dio WIP: propeller is done! Which means the plane itself is complete! Woohoo!

Bore out a square hole under the port wing and stuffed in a 3.2mm Evergreen square styrene tube. Cemented in place via CA glue. After the backgroynd is painted, the tube will be painted to blend in and hide.

Carefully cut a similar hole in the backdrop after testing out the angle I wanted, and punched through the styrene and foam.

Happy to report the MG-08 gun sights are still attached!!!

Looking for large sheets of styrene cheap? Yard signs work great! Using this one to wrap the foam base for the Gee Bee "Batman 1935".

The city is Bandai's Customize Scene Base #4, which provided the right amount of scale and size I was ongoing for. I carved out foam to recess up to the street level, then laminate the insulation in stryrene.

Picked up this hot wire cutter from Alieexpress for a very reasonable price. Easy to use, especially for cutting circular pieces but like anything it takes time to get proficient at it. Filler will be needed on some areas later. Material is 3/4" foam insulation board.

The two pieces roughly assembled. The back section is angled back significantly.

Tools used after laminating styrene, to shape and clean up. Not seen, lots of elbow grease...😅

Grinding a piece of .5mm Evergreen sheet to the 8mm diameter of the clear plastic piece's center opening to act as the spinning hub. The hub is just thicker than the the clear so there will be .13mm overhang as I want and need. Not seen is the 1mm engine-side part of the hub which will be cemented to the top part.

Sawed two small rings from an 11.1mm Evergreen tube to act as the spinning part of the joint between the blades and hub. Sanded down to .2mm thickness and removed a middle finger fingerprint in the process 😂

A short piece of Evergreen 2.5mm rod will act as the protruding center of the hub. Here I'm holding it with a HiQ mini vise (one of my favorite tools) and bull nosing with God Hand sanding sponge.

The 5 pieces thin cemented onto the clear piece. 😇😇😇

Using a Dspiae circle cutter and Evergreen. 25mm clear styrene, I cut out a 5cm diameter piece of plastic. Not the biggest fan of this tool but it's the best I've tried so far. The white piece is a section of large Evergreen tubing which make spinning the blade much easier.

Broke out calipers and measured to find the center of the clear plastic, then punched a hole. With a Wave tools hand reamer, I enlarged the hole to 8mm.

Frog tape was used as a scribing guide, made to the shape I needed via a Dspiae masking tape cutting mat.

Clear part taped down to a God Hand glass cutting mat, Frog masks positioned on and secured to part (with measurements written down on a piece of tape as a reminder). Using a Dspiae "zero" scribing tool, essentially a metal scriber, I carefully went around the mask until I made enough passes to snap the unwanted sections off.

I broke one of the wheel pegs. Drilled out a 1mm hole in the strut, pushed in and cemented a piece Evergree rod, and cut to length. I replaced the original too-short 4 struts supporting whatever that plate in the front is with longer .62mm Evergreen rod pieces so that they fit from hinge to hinge.

Love those decals. Turret handles made of  super fragile .15mm bent wire.

More older work, the Meng 1/72 ZTQ-15 light tank. Definitely a fun little build, recommended. No, I don't do armor or planes in "traditional" finishes.

1/144 Sazabi no grade from 1988. One of my first airbrush projects. Amazing how different this looks next to the modern RG. Had a ton of fun on this project.

One of two areas reworked on the Zugock-E. The vents in the codpiece and the backpack were opened up with louvers added for the lower area and pla for the upper. I also replaced the monoeye lens area in the head with a pla backplate.

The 1/144 no grade Nu Gundam from 1988. Built in Jan 1988, it was the first model I made when returning to the hobby. Finish work is very rough but the journey of a 1000 miles begins with one step.

Reposting some more of my older projects, these kits are the originals from the 1980s. Except for the Zugock-E, paint only with no modifications.
