Ok, time to start work on the actual Beast 09
model. This model is in fact, a beast to
put together (yes pun was intended). To start off with, the Beast model is still a metal miniature. No plastic update that I have seen in it's near future. Normally I
prefer painting and modeling metal over plastic but in Privateer Press’s case,
warjacks are tough models to get looking right.
After some extensive work with my files, I was able
to smooth out most of the mold lines.
Now came the hard part which was fitting the major pieces of the model
together and then ensuring no seems or gaps are evident. As you can see from the pictures below, a lot
of work went into covering up the gaps.
I used a small amount of green stuff the help fill the gap, the smoothed
it out using liquid green stuff. I
really like using the liquid green stuff because I can sand and file it down to
get a smooth look in the end.
