Q&A

How did you rebuild the broken parts of the models?

I used plastic card and hobby tools to carefully recreate the missing or broken pieces.

What paints and techniques did you use for the paint job?

I used black primer as a base coat and then layered gray, Fenrisian gray, and white for edge highlighting. I also used Vallejo Liquid Copper for specific details.

How did you create the custom antennas and pincers?

I traced and cut out the shapes from plastic card, then refined them using files and sandpaper. Finally, I added additional details using hobby tools.

What are some tips for edge highlighting?

Using a brush with long bristles and a steady hand, carefully paint along the edges of the model to create a highlighted effect. Practice and patience are key!

How did you apply the decals?

After a gloss coat, I used decals specifically designed for the models and carefully applied them using water and a soft brush. A final matte varnish sealed everything in place.
