The importance of sanding nubs, pieces fit together much better

I got the kotobukiya x2 armor (which by the way I’ve been wanting a figure or a toy of for decades!) I was hoping d-arts would do it but nope. Then 4inch bel but NOPE! Finally I’ve got a model and I can paint it what colors I want. Also, as you can see, it comes with zeros x2 buster.

As for my painting plans…

Something I drew over 10 years ago

I had an idea

Got this thing done finally. Until I learn to resin casting.. this is as good as it’s gonna get

Discovery enterprise project:

Part 2

Did up the nacelle primary colors. There will be more to come in regards to paneling and such.

Started the deflector dish paneling as well. I got just the right amount of subtlety

Also experimenting with the chiller grills. Sprayed clear blue on the back then did a clear base and alclad 2 chrome on the topside. This way it looks chrome when unlit and light still passes through when they’re on

Small light test with my phone

Now on to painting the impulse engine
