I made this a while a go but never got to post it - but
here it is at last! I have always wanted to make these plastic kits but
never thought I would be able to spray and assemble these and have the
final product looking decent at the same time. I picked up a hobby magazine
which pretty much showed and explained all the techniques in making these
models and went from there.
Above : Gun Cannon kit - picked it up for about 2500 yen at Akihabara.
Above : Adding Decals
Above : The first stage complete - now for sanding down, airbrush and
topcoat.
Above : Gun Cannon ready for a good going over with the airbrush. I picked
up the airbrush and compressor at
Tokyu Hands. This mini compressor is fantastic and has enough power for
what I need. Its compact and silent too. Before I got the compressor
- I used air cans which were useless - they would freeze over after a
few mins meaning that you had to wait around for it to cool down. I tried
the 2 can technique but yer still have to wait as the cans freeze over
pretty quickly.
Above : Gun Cannon ready for some top coat. The top coat protects the
model from being scratched and having decals or the paint coming off.
Above : And here it is! Looking cooler than cool - more pictures of Gun
Cannon to follow!
