Just found a bunch of old pictures, so though I could post them up:
I tell you what, I like the Chronicles of Riddick. Sure it was a flop and not very popular: doesn’t mean it’s not good. It’s big, impressive looking film. Sets, costumes, action and special effects are all well designed. It … Continue reading
No sir. Still working on it, albeit quite slowly as Zelda on my 3DS is demanding my attention.
Well, I just finished the Scott Snyder run on Detective Comics (871 to 881) and am rather impressed. I hadn’t read anything by him before, so I didn’t know what to expect, and more or less read the whole thing … Continue reading
So, I’ve played it a bit more now and it has become clear why you get a little docking station for it: the battery doesn’t last all that long. It’s not a major issue, and one I am willing to … Continue reading
I was getting one, then I wasn’t, then I was etc. I finally got one from the Supermarket yesterday for £108. The selection of games available wasn’t great, so instead of getting my first choices: Dead or Alive Dimensions and … Continue reading
A couple of nights ago, I was watching Kull the Conqueror and it was pretty guff, then I noticed that one of the crappy movie channels was showing Dead & Buried. This was one of those films I had heard … Continue reading
I’m sick of my light cycle model, so I am now attempting to rub it down to start again with different paints. Frustrating.
Well, today I redid the black window sections and a bit of the red too. It’s cleaned up some of the problems, but the red paint is hellish delicate, so I have gloss coated it and am going to let … Continue reading
So, I deepened the red on the light cycle. Not sure if I’ve made it too thick, but I was trying to get a shiny coating, not just a smear of paint. So, time to remove the masking tape and … Continue reading
First thing today was to paint the section I want to be a lighter red with white. I did start the clear red painting, but I found the chrome had taken too many knocks and scrapes, so decided to re-chrome … Continue reading
So I masked the window sections for painting with my Alclad Smoke Black stuff. So I let the paint dry, then gloss coated it again for protection, then let it dry for several hours. To my horror, when I peeled … Continue reading
So I have now chromed the Light Cycle and gloss coated again, ready to start the smoke black windows tomorrow.
So I masked off all the non-silver parts of the cycle and sprayed with Mr Color Silver with some Flat Base added to dull it down. So it looks like the first lot of masking has worked okay. So, due … Continue reading

Well, it seems my Alclad base paints simply couldn’t adhere to the resin of the kit. In my desperation I switched to my Mr Color black and it seemed to work. All the arsing around does seem to have had … Continue reading
It’s not often I get a new toy, but I did today. It’s a Sci-Fi Revoltech Iron Man Mark IV.
It has to be that the resin was too smooth to allow priming, and with my fine grade wet and dry paper, I just smoothed it more. I’ve gone over the whole kit with one of my much less fine … Continue reading
Right, so I decided to build the Light Cycle before painting as there were some large gaps that I wanted to fill. This will make painting harder, but I should be able to mask things off efficiently enough. So, kit … Continue reading
