Hi there .......... I have been waiting for this to come for some time It was one of those models that as soon as I saw it, I knew it was one that was begging me to built it. At 13" tall this is a LARGE model but surprisingly not many pieces. Like all vinyl kits its the usual parts in a plastic bag very little in the way of directions and plenty of flash to whittle away at. ![]() It never ceases to amaze me the level of detail that vinyl gives and I just love the smell of the plastic. ![]() The usual filling and sanding is still necessary to sort out the irregularities and once they have been done its out with the boiling water or hair-dryer to soften the joints as part of the pre-assembly, cooling with cold water to ensure a good fit. Next is to give every part a warm soapy wash so as to remove any release agents and dry prior to gluing them together with super glue. ![]() ![]() ![]() More soon |

Oh that's a pity I was hoping for the William Defoe version. A bit darker and edgier in my personal opinion. THC |

Ok so following a bit of deliberation, I suspended G/G upside-down measured the internal volume of his boots with water and then made up a 50/50 slurry mix of plaster of paris and poured it in through the bottom of his boots.![]() I then cut two lengths of 2mm brass rod, drilled the soles of his boots and slid the rods into his legs down to his knees through the wet plaster. ![]() I also drilled the foot pegs of G/G's rocket sled ![]() ![]() The mix will now be left to set More when its dry |

Blimey that's almost scientific...or should that be agricultural... Measuring the volume, creating a slurry.... Looking good either way! Cheers, Nick |

Well I am not sure hanging upside down is good for his health, let alone slurry But seems to be doing the trick

I felt that the rocket wing did not look balanced so following some deliberation, I extended the front and added a neck between the shoulders and head shape. Not wishing to have a straight tube, I realised that the threaded section from an SES (Small Edison Screw) lamp would suffice and give the illusion of flexiblity. ![]() ![]() The model has now been primed and secondary imperfections corrected with Vallejo Plastic Putty |

Painting the green scaly skin was laborious, as it had to be built up in layers. The costume is not finished yet as I have to add the leather satchel and belt Further work also need to be done to the eyes and pumpkin bomb I will then have to use both gloss and matt varnish coats However I just thought you might like to see it before i go further
