Plastic Model Kits

[RCMerchant]

GODZILLA is done!
I reckon I could touch up the paint job...

[Allhallowsday]

I think GODZILLA looks great!!!  I built so many of the models you are building... back over 40 years ago... and back then, I never painted them! 
p.s. KING KONG is cool, too.

I just finished Frankenstein!






I use an old TV tray top as my paint table.
Next is the Mummy!

I don't collect action figures.
I just started doing model kits a couple of months ago because I can't get out of the house . I had heart surgery, it's winter, and I live in the boonies.
It keeps me from drinking myself into the grave.
I collect books, that's about it.
So I started doing model kits. It's FUN. Remember that word-maybe from your childhood?  
And I own my own house. I have a all my bills paid. I have a wife,kids and grandkids. I am not "poor."
What do YOU do?  In your spare time? Beyond finding a way to blame the world for bad s**t you brought on yourself.
Quit screaming out of a fishbowl.

This wasn't an attack on you RCM,  it was a joke meme.

I apoligize. I get a little touchy feely sometimes..

Yeah, but you are our drunk little prick who lashes out at folks for stupid reasons and I don't think we'd want you any other way.

Btw RC do you paint with enamles or acrylics?  Do you know about ain't washing and dry rushing?  Those techniques work on miniatures and should work on models.

Just Testors model paint. I used black paint on the face and wiped t off quickly-so it just remained in the details.I did it over with forest green, then wiped that off. I went over it all with a mix of dayglo green mixed with yellow. The rest I just used flat basic colors-like a comic book.

You might want to go to Walmart and look at the apple barrell color acrylic range. A neat trick is to paint the base a light color,  take a darker shade,  water it down a bit and bah it into the model recesses. It's called a wash.

I like to give it the look of an old 1960's comic book, just basic colors.
