About The Kit »
Another change from my usual Gundam
kits... The M151A Mutt was a model kit I won in
a raffle at a Model Show a few years ago. It's
not a great kit IMO and suffers from loads of
flash, poor parts fit, and other annoyances. After
some changes though to make it fit the setting
of a diorama I'm working on, I think it turned
out quite nicely.
Since my diorama takes place in
the desert, obviously I needed to weather it as
such. This was a great opportunity to try out
some of the techniques in my new Mig Jiminez FAQ
book on weathering/painting AFVs. There were so
many steps to the weathering process, but the
end result is very much worth it.
I'd go on about what I did to the
M151A, but instead I did a lengthy and well detailed/documented
in-progress page. Click
here to see it.
