    7F310FB0-8E44-40A8-9684-CC219FFE5051.jpeg Got into model kit building last year but it's taken me that long to want to try a custom. So throwing together Nova. It's been a fun experience so far and one with a lot of learning. That white's been a bitch to figure out how to use. I'll be doing progress reports as goes. So far I've just got the head and neck, one arm and a couple of hands done.

    None of the colours are a perfect match for Nova buuuuut since no artist has even done him with the same colour scheme twice I don't think I'll worry too much

    Man, this mould really shines in pretty much anything other than the original colours. :lol  Looks fantastic so far! Very clean.

    Working on the torso today. Prob pics up later but I’m almost out of primer and the white paint that is a pain in the hole to work with . Might get the whole torso done tonight, might still have to take a break with a few pieces to finish while I buy more paint.

    Torso done. Mid section cause a lot of problems . It’s chipped and that white paint is the devil. I like the look and colour breakdown but yeah. Practice needed.

    Finally done. A great learning experience. Lots of mistakes but really fun. Plus a good little kit too. Turns out when you customise a kit it can be quite fun. Plus Burcham’s colour palate works quite quite well.

    Matte coat between painting layers. Might be a thing to try to prevent chipping.

    I like how they progressively look more stylized as you look across the photo. Looks especially good with Nemisis. I like the red accents.
