Still not happy...

So, I was still not too happy with the Hunchback torso, so after lots of sanding and Aves, here is where it stand now....

Hunchback Continued

So, I mentioned not being fond of the Hunchback IIc and was going to convert one into an IS version.  Here are the updates:

Reworked the torso....






Fixed the knees so they will be more posable...


And on a whim, spent a few hours reworking the fingers...


Also, I have redone the cockpit to be flat and more squat like the IS version.  The feet are being reworked also to give it a more compact look.  Finally, there will be more done to the chest to make it like the IS version and I have made medium lasers for the forearms.  Stay tuned....

Still Nothing

Well, Tuesday and still no package.  I had put everything else on hold to do instructions for the new kits as this was my week off before fall classes. But...

I guess I will figure out something else to work on.  Thing is, will it be a mech or Trek or the Corsair my 5 y/o wants built?

Hunchback Conversion

Okay, we have all seen Chris' Hunchback IIc...but myself, I am partial to the original Hunchback. So, I pulled some pics off the web...




And now, while I wait on those other mechs Chris is sending, I shall begin the conversion to the IS Hunchback.





Stay Tuned!

On the way...

Oh, goody!  Chris suprised all of us (even me) with his Thor.  I knew he was playing with one, but again had no idea how close it was to being done.

Anyway, he is sending me one with the Wolverine.  As soon as I get it, you will get pics.  Promise!

Long Absence

Sorry about my absence folks. I have been taking a Graduate course over the summer...Experimental Immunology.  It is a five week course and the work load has been overwhelming.  In addition to being in class 5 hours a day and 2 hours of traveling, I try to study 2 or so hours a day...plus all the little projects that have gone along with the course.  However, this is the last week (3 tests) and then I have a week or so off.

In that week off, I am planning on doing reviews of the new Thor and Wolverine kits from Ravenstar.  He has said he is sending them out this week.  I am waiting with great anticipation.

Another project I plan on tackling is revamping the Loki to more closely match the Thor...once I get a Thor as a reference.

Stay tuned!
