Title: Been around for a while, first build reports
Post by: Jmilla on December 31, 2013, 10:36:53 PM
I have been building for a year just as a hobby and haven't gotten around to posting any of my builds so i thought i would post a few of my first here.

1. Egghead + Thunderpuss 2in1 this was my first build ever.

Welcome!  I love the paint jobs, very custom and the colors are bitchin'. Excellent work, and you should be proud of all of those. That decoupage enclosure is pretty sweet too-maybe have to try that soon.

I really like the way the Egghead+Thunderpuss looks.

It seems frozen.

How'd you do that?

The paint effect was an accident actually, my wife painted the enclosure using testors enamel then used a paint pen for the silver. When we sprayed the clear we didn't realize it re-wetted the base so when we put the projector film with the words on it it swirled the paint and kinda created a cool effect. Also on the sides a piece of newspaper transferred some words to the enclosure also.

Accidents are the worst because they are the hardest to repeat.
It looks so awesome and broken.

All nice builds, but that Timmy is really special.  I really like the finish.
