Allrighty, I made a bit of effort to finish the line art for the weapons of the Kämpfer. It’s going to be simple, just the darkgray with white camouflage. I think this will give me some trouble with masking, but I see it as a challenge :).

All those weapon parts are also already primed and ready to get preshaded. As for the other kit I am working on, that is on hold. I painted it a long time ago with brushes and enamel paint, but never finished it. To give it his new paintjob I sanded all the parts and sprayed them with there mathing color with a Hansa acrylic paint. It looks like this now:

As for my paper and other school related stuff… I won’t be able to get my diploma untill september next year. It has something to do with the fact that I am no longer enlisted at the ArtEZ and the next moment that I can enlist is in september. I’ll then graduate on the second of september and that way everything just worked out fine. Luckily I don’t really need my diploma right away, so it can wait a year…but still.

I have been allready slacking this blog. It might be just because I still have to get used to having a blog again. And the fact that I work four days a week now and still have to finish some school stuff. On the bright side, my paper is accepted and I got a 7 (in the Netherlands rating is from 1 to 10 with 10 as the very very best), in the US that problably will be a C. So good enough to pass the test anyway! Now I have to hand it in, read; design it.

I am thinking about printing the text and the images on two seperate types of paper and handbinding the whole lot together. It might just a bit too much, but I enjoy that handwork so much!

As for the other handwork, the Gunpla, I got a bit progress on the Kämpfer, so check out the progress page! I am also working on a model chair. Since I am a fully graduated bacheler of arts I have to surround me with precious pieces of art, or at least some scalemodels so I got my hands on a Red an Blue Chair scale 1:6. Well my father got for an interview he gave several years ago for some architect, but he never finished it. So I started working on the little sucker and I will post pictures up in a few days. This kit is being painted with the paints I got with my airbrush. They are from Hansa and are super fine, but take a while to dry though…
