The Zurad (MSP 04a)
The Ground Work is finally Done - The Main Robot is next.
Hi everyone,
It has been a very slow slog, with work and the heat, but I have finally managed to finish the base. Now I just have to paint up the main robot (the Zurad) and a few more vehicles.
I did not take any pictures for the same reason. I only had between 30 minutes to an hour every other day and I had to make the best of it. That meant less pictures.
Just for your info, I decided to paint the mobile suit in the rubble in oil paints to see if it was possible. I have seen James Wappel paint WW2 tanks and oils – and they looked amazing. The result was quite good and I painted it up in about 3 hours shading and all. It did take 5 days to dry properly for me to handle, but I was in no hurry. Also, if I had used some fast drying mediums, the time would have been halved for sure.
Finally added the street lights, the tree and vegetation, as well as the post box.
The mobile suit was painted, panel lined and weather complete in oil paints - believe it!That’s all for now. Maybe I will get some work done in this week, but unless I book a day or two of annual leave, it is going to take me some time to finish this project.
Until next time, stay safe (and cool!) and have fun.
NR.
amazing job. Will you have way to connest it to a table and have it as terrain too in the futhure?
@radegast6 thank a lot and I am glad you like it. It won’t be used for gaming. It is just a diorama.. When I finish the main main robot, it goes into to the display case.
