Hi All,
phantro asked did I have any WIP pics of this dio that I did so here they are. The Ma.k Snake Eye is straight out of the box and is 1/20th scale, I haven't built any Ma'k models in this scale for years and it was a fun and pleasing build and the details on the model have come along way since the early 90's when I first started building them. The figure in the space suit is the poor sole that is trying to evade getting killed. He is made from a body of a hoth Luke skywalker the hands and legs from a Naboo security guard. The head is from a rebel soldier and the helmet and chest rigging are from a GI Joe Wild Bill figure, I still have to add a oxygen backpack and then superglue and cover the joints. The wreckage is made from different shapes and thickness of plasticard's, the log cylinders are from 1/100th TOS Enterprise Nacelles and I had added wiring from some old computer cables. I don't know if you can see it in the pics the front of the hull has rivert holes drilled into the panels using a thin drill bit. I will show more pics as I go of the painting and weathering. |

Here are a few more WIP pics. The first two pics I have given the wreckage and the mech suit two coats of Tamiya's neutral grey and once dry the wreckage was given several washes of matt black.
I have painted the thin pipes and L-Girders Vallejo German gunmetal and have given the edges a wash of gunmetal as well so when the rest of the weathering starts the metal will have a structal damage look to it. The interior was given a spary of Tamiya's Matt White and then a wash of matt black and then a wash of light grey was done to give it a more worn and damage feel to it. Mech suit WIP pics next. |

Here are WIP pics of the suit.
The suit as mentioned in the earllier post was given two coats Tamiya's neutral grey and once dry it was sprayed Tamiya Matt white, I let it dry and then gave the white a wash of matt black. Once that was dried I then used Vallejo's Green Grey for the comaflage effect and then that was given a wash of matt black to tone down the colour a little. I painted the pipes/body suit/left mechanical hand and antenna's matt black and the hatches and lines were highlighted by sharpening a lead pencil to a very sharp point and tracing the lines. I then added the decals so when the final weathering is done any excess film that I missed when cutting and applying is visable the weathering will cover the film and blend it into the model. More WIP pics soon. |

The wreckage is 90% complete, I have added a few extra pieces of debri using old computer cables and the wiring has been painted matt black. I used a dremel to give the exterior hull some dents, scratches and blast effects and then these areas were painted black and then drybrushed guntmetal.
The numbers were done by printing and cutting out the numbers and then lightly drybrushing the cut out areas to get the look you see on the hull. |

Here is some work on the spacesuit, I have superglued and covered the joints up using Aves Fixit Sculpt and have attached the backpack which is mafe up of spare SW parts and the air hose was a spare that came from the mech suit. Before the helmet went on I painted the face and then re-applied the helmet and superglued it into place.

The spacesuit figure is complete, I gave him a coat of medium grey and then drybrushed a mix of 50/50 medium grey and flat white and kept drybrushing until I was happy with the look of the suit. The vest and helmet were painted white the a wash of matt black was given over the vest and once dry I lightly dry brushed it white again.
The boots, gloves and belt were painted matt black then they were drybrushed red leather, I then painted the buckle, button and clips with mithril silver. The backpack and air hose were painted matt black and then I added white sections to the backpack and then drybrushed it mithril silver. I also added a few small decals to the backpack and helmet and then the helmet was given a light drybrush of mithril silver and gunmetal. Next up will be the completion pics which will be up soon. You can see the completed dio here http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ye-1-20th.html |

Awesome work here brother For the numbering on the hull all I did was print off the style and size of the numbers I liked and then very carefully cut the numbers out and I was left with a stencil. Once the numbers are cut out I secured the stencil/piece of paper to the hull using blu tac. I then got a brush and lightly dapped into some white paint and then started drybrushing were the numbers were cutout until I got the desired look. I hope this helps if you need anymore help just let me know. Ron |
