'The Alexminator'

[Modelpro72]

Hello Chaps.

This is my second entry to the group build and I can't wait to start it. I will post more information on the kit but just for a taster!!!! The kit is a copy of the Horizon moulding and it stands just under 15 inches which makes it a scale of 1/5. Horizon have done a multitude of different characters such as Wolverine, The Joker and Captain America. As I said above, this kit is a copy of the Horizon kit and which company it comes from is a mystery for me at the minute because I can't find a name on the box! Oh well. It's rather nice where ever it's come from.

As it's a big bugger I will be mostly (eating bourbon biscuits) airbrushing the lad with different shades of black and flesh tones. I'm not 100% sure on the best shades of paint when it comes to blood,flesh and sinew but I'll find out.

If you haven't seen the Questions Three video that Aaron Newlands did for Alexmodelling then please go and see it. Also see the response that Alex gave. Pure genius. This build is also in dedication to Alex who isn't too well.

And as always

I'll Be Back!!!

Where did you get him from Lenny? There are a couple of recasters that sell on Fleabay from Thailand was it from one of them? I have been thinking of getting a couple of Star Wars figures from them but have been a bit wary of what the quality of the recast may be. Yours looks great though so I might take a chance on one.

Hello Gents.

Just a quick one. Has anyone used the below paints on the link below for skin tones? I know it's Vallejo but is it good for airbrushing?

Cheers fellas

They do there own thinner but tamiya x20a works perfectly well with them and they airbrush nice and smooth too, they also brush paint real nice too. 50/50 mix is fine too
