This is truly an amazing acomplishment. I can't believe it's been 4 years.
On a side note I thought you should know it was because of how inspiring your builds are that I got into the hobby and eventually started creating my own!
Yeah the yellow mechs main fuselage was a nightmare because of how conical everything was. This mech was more cubic, though it had alot more greebles. Not as bad as a Y-Wing though. I dont know if I would ever do that again and I still cant believe you are doing two.

Having painted many models I can assure you the paper is far more durable than you would expect, especially after putting on all the little details. To add the mounting rod for my Y-wing I had to get a dremel out by then end.
That said I tend to prefer brush coating over spray cans in most...
You really want me to build that AT-ST dont you :). Its actually been on my list to build for a while I just have so many things on the list.
I got a little done last night. I finished the hatch looking portions on the back of the model and did some detailing. Right now I am debating if I even...
After building the Catapult from Mechwarrior Online I wanted to build another mech. This time its from the online game Hawken. It's a fun mech game that has a strong action focus and I love the art style. Thanks to the help of some people on this forum I have learned how to create orthographics...
