Multiple angles of car body spray painted with metallic dark grey. Masking pretty successful.

Four gun options: A) Eisenkern Panzerjaeger MG B) 3D printed dual MG C) 3D printed MG D) Eisenkern Panzerjaeger SMG

Here's the latest from Q Branch.

Masking successful and metallic paint applied. Need to pick out details and recess shading.

Four options for guns, B and C are chunky and better visible at arm's length. A and D are better scale.

A continuous exercise in patience for me, I gave the Milliput more than 24 hours to cure before I shaped the side mirrors a little bit. The plastic sprue is too big. Next time I'll use wire, more room to shape the Milliput.

Now to give the primer time to fully cure.

Hot Wheels Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 work tiny tiny side view mirrors hacked out of plastic sprue.

Hoping that paint will cover a lot of the sins I committed with making the side view mirrors.

Did some interior detailing, which will probably never be seen outside of these photos. This is probably why I'm abandoning the manga style paint job, as it will require the windshield to be painted and the detailing so far won't match the aesthetic

Trimmed, glued and applied wash to wrecking ball assembly made of a spine, a pair of radius and ulna bones and a humerus as crossbar.

Once dry I'll attach the sugar skull and add chains from crossbar to spine to skull.

I want to thank all of you for indulging my stream-of-hobbying posts and spamming a couple of specific hashtags.

I love having a place to share my stuff and seeing all the great stuff you all do.

Thank you.

The ink is still tacky to the touch, so maybe it's still drying? I am worried that spraying clear coat on it will reactivate the ink and cause it to run.

Should I just leave it alone and let it dry for a day or two?

Testing my set up with an LED ring light donated by my daughter. Not sure if I actually will produce hobby content, but want to try.

C&C most welcome.

Can't decide which connection looks best.

What do you all think?

Coiled or straight? Both will be painted copper.

The UniMOG are hard at work, constructing the WarMOG for Gaslands Roadshow Live! The command cab is fully disassembled as the VoxMOG offers words of encouragement to crew. The wreck lobber trailer is on deck for armoring.

Finally feeling closer to normal today. Going to spend the day on the WarMOG. Goal is to finish assembly and painting the cab.

Aldo want to finalize build plan on the trailer. Needs armor, defenses and crew.
