A new pinned post of some builds that I really enjoyed doing…which is really what it’s all about right?

There are some great finishes on this…the project as a whole has encouraged me to give the AK xtreme metallics a go for sure…

I think I have the ejection pin holes filed OK…they are mostly inside the build so will do…🤷♂️. Got a first dose of lacquer SCC15 on some of it...needs a bit more. Think I’ll use XF-93 as the acrylic ‘sand’ colour to chip through to the SCC15…🤔👍

My posts about books are mostly poorly received…are ‘book packs’ a thing on here at all? I mean posts of four books that are related by theme but not author? I quite like the idea but ho hum…perhaps it could become a hashtag #bookpacks 🤷♂️?

A guaranteed way of slowing up a build is discovering ejection pin holes that need filling…ho hum…🙄😊
