Kingdom Death Monster 1.5 Painting Diary
This post is a work in progress document with updates as I go along.
Build Diary
Tools Needed: Hobby Knife, Green Stuff, Needle Files, CA Glue, Sprue Cutters and Patience
Seriously go here: Build Instructions
Tips and Lessons Learned:
From my Gunpla and model building experience having a good Sprue/side cutter, is a must. Don't clip right at the end where the sprue meets the sculpt but farther back. Later you can clean up the nubs with a hobby knife/file. This is to ensure you don't accidentally cut a piece you aren't supposed to. As well you don't stress the plastic; although in this case we are painting the model after so any stress marks will be covered up.
Greenstuff! - I found working with the solid stuff a bit frustrating on models as delicate as these and resorted to using the liquid greenstuff. My mistake was not waiting for it to dry before the next coat and thus added a lot more sanding to the process. in this case less is more!
