Captain William Kidd, 1689 (3)

Started to work on the coat but was not hundred percent in form. So I think I will need to rework on it for a couple of times further.

Captain William Kidd, 1689 (2)

Just started to work on the scarf, was trying the way to recreate the texture and softness.



The next day I was working on the few other accessories, including the belt, hat and the little white scarf on the neck. The next item to get painted will be the coat where I will need to paint with the arms attached. Let's see how it goes or I may need to do a little putty work there.

Captain William Kidd, 1689

This has been a figure that I have pre-assembled a couple of years back. But I just had never had the time to actually start painting. Now, I am going to give it a go and am also looking to complete this figure by November.

This same pre-assembled look, with the sword actually broken. I will need to do some welding before painting. Anyway that can wait after the figure and the floor being painted.

A thin layer of primer was coated. The casting was a bit rough so I have to work on sanding work here and there. The difference to working on a resin or injection versus this white metal is that I will get my fingers all darkened after the sanding work....

As usual, I started the painting work with the face. The shape and casting on this part is brilliant. I have no issues even I have been a while from painting work.

The next day I worked on the inside shirt. There are a few layers of cloths on this figure. So I have to so some planning before I decide which area or which piece of cloths to start with.

Lexus IS200 x Toyota Altezza (8)

After having one of the STI finished, I have moved my focus on this Altezza now.

I started polishing it a few days ago and the Gunze GX100 looks really promising.
Yet, I do prefer the strength and transparency of any of the 2K coatings. I do not really need to pay too much attention for not rubbing off any paints with 2Ks, since its strength other features already help a great deal.

Anyway, the body of this Altezza is now ready and I just need to prepare the rest of the painting including chassis and cockpit, which will be really straight forward.
