is this the design from the dead space remake?

i'm always a hardcore lurker, but watching you build all of my favorite model kits has been a treat. lot of things suck, but seeing the passion and love for the craft in this hobby ain't one of them 🫂

modified to be a little closer in line with my original edit

it ended up bein a lot more bunny-eared than my lil concept work there.. but i think it still fits 🤍💜 that's the head complete!

now's a fun time to share the little simple mockup i edited months and months ago from some kampfer lineart for how i wanted to modify it. please ignore the fact that the vulcans would fire directly into the fin antenna

they don't understand how cute you really are
(poorly dry fit, i may or may not snip off a bit of the 'chin' on the helmet piece)

update to say the airbrush doesn't even work because there's some weird defect in it that instead mashes the paint bottle's needle up into the nozzle .. lmao. been waiting a nice cozy week on a proper response from dspiae. guh

looks so good. you ever try those AK weathering pencils? have a few and they work wonders, just gotta use caution cause they're soluble in water

hopefully i made even half of this make Some Cents, but i was really happy with not being scared of butchering my model kits anymore, understanding how the insides of them work, and modifying them to make painting a lot easier 🤍

the head, i just glued the snout on and snipped the pipes so i could paint them w/out obstructing the head and just fit them back on

the chest, i cut the inside of it that holds the sides' pegs in, meaning i could assemble and glue everything together once it's all painted with ease

the arms were tough to figure out, they're a bunch of parts sandwiches over an innerframe, so i cut the connecting peg between the joint and the arm in half so i could glue it all together and, like the leg, slide it on and off!

the armor has the benefit of covering up my horrific surgery

tamiya glue fixes it all together, but origin kits have an innerframe it all fits together over, making assemblies difficult! so i hollowed out the inside of the leg armor n sliced up the innerframe, so i can just slide it and out as i need. once the armor is done being painted, it slides right on

the last time i had an airbrush it was a lil portable-powered airbrush a friend got me that i managed to get clogged and then i think potentially broke in the process of tryna fix it. this should be way easier to mess with since there's minimal cleaning involved 💜

maybe now i can stop flopping between projects like a lil fisch

every time i don't see it my tiny little heart breaks. i've been scribbling down what runners it wants on the first steps of each part in my manuals lately!

i've been swiping back n forth smashing the ingram into the building for the past 5 minutes
