Quick Progress for the Saber Commission Project A quick little update for this project. I’ve been spending time masking off the purple that was painted. After masking, the detail lines and straps are painted in black. I use mostly tamiya masking tape. Some areas are masked off with parafilm on larger areas. Over the masking tape and parafilm, a thin layer of […] Source: GameraBaenre’s Blog

I haven’t really had much time to get a good foothold on the project, but this weekend fixed that. I had finished a release at […] Source: GameraBaenre’s Blog

Bring Out the Gimp!
Bring Out the Gimp! This model was a mule for the hand-painting and weathering tutorials I did. It was done with limited tools and limited time. And in the end limited patience. Airbrushing really IS better than hand-painting. Source: Funakatown
“New” Weathering and Hand-Painting Tutorials
“New” Weathering and Hand-Painting Tutorials Okay, so these aren’t new, I made them to present at SCGMC a while back, but I never gave them official pages so they were buried in the site. Now they have pages and show up under Tips and Advice and Things. Or use the direct picture links below: Source: Funakatown
Zaku Exceed Model Progress
Zaku Exceed Model Progress I picked up a bunch of these little guys when I was in Japan a few months ago. They’re not quite 1/35 scale, but pretty close. The UC Hard Graph 1/35 Ramba Ral Commando kit’s Zaku head is bigger than this; so I would guess it’s about 1/40 or so. Hell, since this is a […] Source: GameraBaenre’s Blog
In prep for AX, I have some new tutorials for you all
In prep for AX, I have some new tutorials for you all Since AX is around the corner and I’m still SLOWLY finishing up some fixes on the GM Sniper project. My workbench is fairly clear and I can mock up some quick tutorials.

GM Sniper Project: The display base
GM Sniper Project: The display base This last bit of work has been ongoing since I finished the Sniper. This is the display base. I got the idea to do an relief style display when I was up at Tatsu Hobby’s Blue and Yellow Ball event a few months back. I saw a display that had half a figure projecting out […] Source: GameraBaenre’s Blog
