In Progress » 1/72 A-Wing » Weathering Part 1 »

Posted on Saturday, August 7, 2010, 1:04 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Commissions, Modeling, Models In-Progress.

Since the last update I’ve gotten through almost all of the weathering steps. Here’s a breakdown of what I did. First I applied a few tan filters then a gray-brown one. This warmed the color tones and gave it a nice dirty worn start to the finish. Once the filters had dried I used various [...]

In Progress » 1/72 A-Wing »

Posted on Thursday, August 5, 2010, 8:50 am, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Commissions, Modeling, Models In-Progress.

I got this little gem a few days ago from rb26 at SSM. The size of the A-Wing (from Return of the Jedi) as you can see is small at this scale, but the amount of crisp details packed into this thing are fantastic. It looks like an injection plastic Fine Molds kit rather than [...]

Posted on Monday, July 19, 2010, 7:19 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Completed Models, Modeling.

Here’s one I’ve been working off an on with for the past month: The Frame Arms GouRai kit by Kotobukiya. The kit is 1/100 scale but a little larger than a typical 1/144 Gundam kit. Regardless of the size, the detailing is great and the frame was a breeze to work with and makes it [...]

Posted on Monday, July 12, 2010, 7:51 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Modeling, Models In-Progress.

Okay, I’m back at it. While waiting for oils to dry on another kit I started assembling the VERY nicely casted and designed Markov Racer from Alb Labs. You can see an in-prog of his kit master here and can buy it here. The kit has very little clean-up so as far as resin kits [...]

Still at it… »

Posted on Sunday, July 11, 2010, 5:06 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Modeling, Whatever.

Been a while since my last update and I’ve gotten a few emails asking what’s up and what I’m working on. Well, first I got sucked into Red Dead Redemption which was awesome.  I started the 1/48 AT-AT commission to go with the Snow Speeders, but the thing requires so much work that I’ll have [...]
