I have just finished my latest t-shirt. I have done more t-shirts in the past 5 months that in the past two years. Now I just need places to show them off.
In the feeling old department:
I saw in the comics section of the Saturday Gazette, Hi and Lois, the teenage son was comparing cleaning his room to an archeology dig. He was discovering treasures he had forgotten were there. What struck me was the comic book he was holding : the first ever copy of The X-Men. I know because I have the same comic book. You feel your age when your prized collector’s item is compared to an ancient relic.
From Wayne Glover:
Wayne says work on his ship is progressing very slowly. Apparently, he is having trouble finding a particular paint he needs. Meanwhile, there is Gundam.

Moebius Models 1/72 Cylon Raider (2 complete kits): The Cylon Raider is a quick weekend build. Each kit has only thirteen parts, including the stand. After assembly you just need to do a little seam filling and sanding before you are ready to paint. I used Testor’s Model Master 28003 Silver Lacquer for the base coat. I then marked off different panels and hand painted these using Citadel’s Chainmail and Boltgun Metal acrylics. The insignia took a few tries to hand paint the raised surface using Polly Scale RLM 25 Green. Cleanup of any acrylic paint was easy using a Q-tip dipped in Isopropyl Alcohol.The engine thrusters exhausts were painted using Model Master Burnt Iron. Panel lines were done using Vallejo’s Mecha Weathering Acrylic Black Wash. As a final touch, I added an M.V. Products (Model Railroad Lens) to represent the Cylon Mono-eye.

Dragon Models Iron Man 3 1/24 Mark 16 “Nightclub” Armor: Another quick build with only ten parts. Kit parts are molded in both polystyrene and vinyl and should be glued together using cyanoacrylate/super glue. The kit is designed to be a simple snap fit, with the chest and back plates (styrene) trapping the arms, legs, and head together. I needed to enlarge the pin locating holes to get these to fit together properly. I still needed to fill and sand the seams between them before painting. Since some kit parts are vinyl, acrylic paints are your best option. Since the Mark 16 “Nightclub” armor was designed as a stealth suit, it’s color scheme is shown as a metallic blue in the instructions. I’ve varied that somewhat by painting the base color using Vallejo’s Mecha Color Metallic Blue, then picking out different panels using Tamiya’s Clear Blue to break up the monotone finish. Then using Vallejo’s Mecha Weathering Black wash on the panel lines. The faceplate is Model Color Silver, with the eyes done in White. There is also a thin red line around the Arc Reactor using Tamiya Clear Red. Light panels on the armor are Vallejo Mecha Color Deep Blue. The container base is Polly Scale Zinc Chrome Primer with Vallejo Mecha Weathering Dark Rust & Black Washes. Details and scratches are done with a Silver artist pencil. The base is Model Master Flat Black.

Mojo Resin? 120mm Doc Savage Kit: I’ve had the Doc Savage kit for a very long time. I picked him up at the Chiller Theatre convention in Hasbrouck Heights during the late nineties. I would start it, get stalled, and strip the paint off. Rinse, cycle, repeat. He’s gone through at least three repaints, before I finally finished him this time. Base colors are Model Color and The Army Painter Warpaints – all acrylic. Flesh colors are a combination of Model Air Skin Tone and Model Color Sunny Skintone. The eyes are Bright Gold. The pants are Khaki, shirt is Skeleton Bone with Off white for highlights. Boots are Leather Brown. Doc’s hair/skull cap is Ochre Brown. The base is Desert Yellow with Citadel Snakebite Leather for the nameplate. The native mask is done in Model Master Acrylic Wood with details picked out in Off-White, Metallic Green eyes, and Tamiya Clear Red for the mouth. The name was painted using Game Color Bright Bronze. The palm frond was painted Golden Olive with Green Brown for the interior stalk. I used Citadel’s Seraphim Sepia for the overall wash, then dry brushed lightened colors over the entire figure. Finally softening any harsh color edges using Tamiya Weathering Master pastels. Ivory and Salmon for the skin tones. Mud for the pants and Sand for the base. Declaring Doc finally done … and now for those humming tunes from John Phillip Souza – the trailer for the 1975 George Pal film.

That Doc Savage movie was meant to look corny, but even with that in mind it went way off the scale…
I laughed at the trailer Brian sent. Just crazy!
