| Kit Building Diary |
| I decided to keep a Photo Diary, of the day to day process of building, more than one kit at a time, you will probably notice I dont work to any set plan or routine,I tend to just go with the flow, dependant on my mood at the time, I hope you enjoy this project, and hopefully it will give some insight into how I work and the methods i use, in pursuit of my beloved hobby thank you for looking.

| Just one Kit on the bench at the moment, (I am dreading all the tattoos), this is Killer Kits, Max Cady, From the movie Cape fear, as usual with Killer Kits, there was very little clean up required, the kit comes in five parts, Torso, Legs, Arms and Base, I glued and putied the torso to the legs, the same with the arms, I havent glued the figure to the base yet, I primed the figure with Light grey, when this had dried overnight, I started airbrushing the basic flesh tone, thats it for now more soon |
