WAVE’s 1/20 Ketzer!

A quick album for this one, I think it’s done? I’ll follow up with some product photos showing which AK products I used, where and how. Thanks for looking, hope you like it!

Are we there yet? I had this maybe 90% done and took it and the vignette I am making to Korea Hobby Fair. It looked ok on the table although it’s more of a mock up of how the finished item should look. Distance viewing helps my models look ok!

Just a couple of small things to finish up and finished shortly.

Ketzer with some more weathering with oil paints and the pilot almost done. A small photo to make sure the colors look ok altogether and to help choose a helmet color… I’m thinking RLM Grey… Looking at the photo, the joints that I’ve already dusted after I took the photo look so clean!!

iPhone4 photo, seems to capture color pretty well!

With a little time between projects, I can get back to some personal modelling – something I’d like to bring to Korea Hobby Fair next weekend.

I finally had a chance to get my hands on and experiment with some excellent weathering products from AK Interactive. They offer a comprehensive selection backed up by years of experience and know-how.

Please check the photos at the bottom of this post for the names of all the products tried, mainly Washes, Streaking Grime and Earth, Mud and Dust. Once I become more familiar with them, I’ll do a more thorough write up and WIP of each. For now I am just trying them out but also with a mind to match my Ketzer to the Gans I did a few years ago.

Conflicting objectives make it more interesting and fun!!

Hope you like it so far,

Here’s a first, I’m blogging this live via my iPhone from the actual event for a report!!

Today shows the release of the much awaited Combat Scheme Card File, a large binder that contains a number of the Cards that came with the original SF3D and the newer Ma.K kits.

Quite a few people showed up and Yokoyama san signs and does a sketch for each one.

Mokei Factory always orders a bunch of stock in and you can pick up kits you are after. The selection is easily the best in Tokyo!!

Still more in the store.

There’s also a small display for the next release, the WAVE Fireball. At first I wasn’t sure why people were pointing at me and the display until I came inside and realized its my demo “L” Fireball on display again. I’m really getting some mileage out of this model!!

Now wrapping up, we are being treated to a talk on modeling by Yokoyama Sensei and Max Watanabe.

Lucky!!

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed a glimpse into the Tokyo Ma.K world.
