Vash the Stampede

[Mr B]

Next kit on my list is Vash from Trigun - this is going to be my figure entry into the same comp as the Spider tank...

|-( )-|

Here's the Mihoshi kit I've yet to build...

and the rest of my current stash of kits...

See the Tachikoma Kit!? Once built I'll be giving it away to one lucky forum member... keep you posted as to how to win it.

 

[McIcy]

Give it to me

Can't wait to see the Vash the Stampede one built and painted I am a huge Trigun fan and after seeing what you did with R-3000 Tank.

OMG give the model!

 

[Mr B]

RE: Tachikoma 1/24 kit by Wave - I'll be building this once I've finished Vash, the Tachikoma has movable legs/feet, arms and body, and there will be a scale Major inculded

I've already thought of a good GitS SAC related question and will post up a dedicated build thread closer to the time and will post the question towards the end.

 

[Mr B]

Made a start on cleaning the kit, joind some of the coat tails together but some areas will require heating and reforming for a better fit. There's some lovely detail on the kit...

Just how tall!?

 

[Jaymii]

Woah! I am very impressed with that one. Its just killer.

 

[Pomtry]

I must have it all now

 

[McIcy]

Dude that figure is awesome, I am waiting with baited breathe to see how it comes out

 

[Taylor]

Give Mihoshi kit, shes so cool!

 

[Mr B]

This one is dragging on a bit and the dead line for the comp' entries is 30th November... Must hurry :?

Any way made a start on priming, sanding and filling the kit. It needs one final coat of primer before I can start on the painting, though I have done one piece of his jacket.

Pre-shaded with matt black - three coats of thinned gloss red - matt black on edgeing & buttons - alclad pale gold on edgeing & chrome on the buttons - Alclad jet exhaust around the bullit holes and to touch-up the shading

 

[McIcy]

Loving the dirty red you used on the jacket gives it a real leather texture

 

[Mr B]

Thanks. Quick to do and very effective when done right...

Technique: light on dark & Pre-shading. Spray the model with black paint where you think the shadows will fall and on any areas that need defining. Useing a thinned down paint (more than normal) apply light coats over the model, building up the layers until the desired effect is achieved.

 

[McIcy]

I wish I had the patients to do a technique like that but I am way too lazy

 

[Mr B]

More work done, but still not complete...

 

[McIcy]

That jacket looks good enough to actually be real leather, stunning dude

 

[Voddas]

That is awesome. Takes me back to my warhammer days. Looking great man. Looking fwrd to the finished product. ^^

 

[Mr B]

Another couple of days should see vash completed and ready for the comp'

 

[Roadie]

looking good, keep at it and It'll look awsome

 

[McIcy]

That is looking amazing, I can't wait to see the level of detail you put into his face

 

[Mr B]

Finished

1/24 Vs. 1/6 a big difference Vash and a mini Motoko
