Last post, I showed you how to do the initial mold of the base via an old photo frame and some Plaster of Paris. This week, once the entire thing has dried, it’s time to add the details and then finally paint it.
Let’s go…

Tags: In Progress: Star Wars AT-AT Model Kit
August 18th, 2010 No Comments
Already started initial assembly for this old ERTL-MPC model kit which buddy Alex and I got online. It’s a Star Wars AT-AT and it’s around 8-9 inches tall. Woot!
It even comes with Luke’s Snow Speeder! I reckon this will look great in a snow diorama setting. This was built straight out of the box with very minor modifications. There were flashes and seam-gaps and I had to fix them with putty and sanding.

Model Kit Shopping
July 11th, 2010 No Comments
For the past couple of weekends in a row, been online shopping with my model kit buddies and we managed to grab a couple of bargains. Just this week, we got some Star Wars vinyl action figures (12″) and a couple of huge retro robots – Mazinger Z and Combattler. We found the good online via PTK and went to the owners house to pick it up for 2 Saturdays straight.
Check out more of our “loots” after the break…
Star Destroyer Model Kit: Let There Be Light
July 4th, 2010 6 Comments
A couple of weeks ago, I posted the detailing and painting of my Star Destroyer project. For this post, I’m going to show you how I did lit up the kit step-by-step. I also finished up all the fiber optics this week and did a light test before mounting and cementing all the panels and the wires. Maybe just a week or so and this baby will be finally done. Can’t wait!
… Let’s dive right in, shall we?
Star Destroyer Model Kit Update
June 26th, 2010 No Comments
It’s been almost a year since I purchased this AMT-ERTL kit of the Star Wars Star Destroyer. I started by accurizing the kit with hundreds of styrene (credit card and other flat plastic parts) pieces. This is my second official Star Wars kit, the first one was a Fine Molds Tie Interceptor.
Now, after finishing a lot of Gundams, I’m back to the build/project. The goal is to detail the kit and ultimately to light it all up with fiber optics. So far, so good. Been wanting to try some techniques and more on this…. enjoying the entire process so far.
Let’s dive into the work in progress…

There are a lot of cool DIY (Do It Yourself) projects out there. But this AT-AT double bunk bed took the cake.

In Progress: Star Destroyer
October 18th, 2009 5 Comments
I purchased this kit last June. But due to two things 1) busy with work and 2) had to finish other kits, I shelved the project. Now that I’m done with the Sazabi (a common build project with DaemonFrost… which we haven’t uploaded any post yet) but you can find status photos in my facebook album,) methinks I know have time to blow the dust off the Star Destroyer box.
