I finished the base. And I did some highlights using hard pastel pencils. Once you sharpen them tona point you hardly need any pressure to draw. I'll post up more about this in future. Promise. 😊 (at Kitchener, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIMImrKntZh/?igshid=w3bn763vpkks

Ok, the Daughter and I built a Lego Knock-off Heavy Tank. It looks Soviet in Design. The kit is Chinese in origin. I tend to think it's a Heavy Tank from the Chinese Army. Is it maybe a Type 99? Any Tankers have an idea? (at Kitchener, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF5KnmgHOLC/?igshid=1wio896b1tf8e

Doesn't look like very much but I have put together 10 assemblies. And I'm slightly high from plastic cement fumes. ☺☺☺🛠🛠🛠 That's it for today. Let's give the cement PLENTY if dry time. (at Kitchener, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpz_znHcpW/?igshid=mphhuyp2hvll

Still putting pieces on. I build and paint in sub assemblies. I don't have a hard an fast rule. I put on enough parts so the details I want to paint isn't obscured. 🤔🛠🛠🛠 (at Kitchener, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpufcYHoZS/?igshid=jrew9bfibzki

Ok, I'm a comic nerd to the core. Been and Iron Man fan since I was a wee kid in '72. Iron Man has been a fav since then. I collect when I like the enjoy the stories. And I drop it when I really dislike it. Currently I've stopped collecting IM for an uncounted amount of years. I still collect but not IM. This is the new issue restarting at 1. It seems to be bringing Stark back to his roots. And I am in LOVE with what I've read so far. Even this nod to a class IM cover by @comic_legend_bob_layton This book is great stuff. And as always thanks to @retrorocketcomics for taking care of all my 4 colour needs. ❤ Any yeah, I really like this nostalgic revisit to Shellhead.

The Shifters work best on a gloss black basecoat. (planning of getting a gloss black next week) A touch of paint retarder to reduce brush stroke seemed to help. (I originally didn't use it on the 1st coats) 🖌🖌🖌😊 (at Kitchener, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFo1y8nLea/?igshid=thn1ixopkzp5

More experiments. I painted a spare black. I don't have a gloss black so I tried a gloss nuln oil. It wasn't as glossy as I hoped. So I applied a gloss top coat. That did it. 👍🖌🖌🖌 (at Kitchener, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFjzTEHus3/?igshid=1vub2mlbxodl2
