more on the spiral flow

Another L-Gaim kit!

I haven't put a new post up in quite some time, so here's a little item I've been working on. It's a kit of the Spiral Flow hover bike thing that Daba Myroad rides in L-Gaim. You should DL L-Gaim if you hain't seen it, for it is teh win of classic old school anime styling.

This is a fun little kit that is gonna be a real bear to paint properly. All sorts of nested parts, and of course they couldn't nest in a way that would make them easy to paint. I'm glad I didn't try this kit before discovering Parafilm for masking.

The first video shows the application of a very small decal, the second shows a rough test fit of the main kit parts.

At this point I've got some of the detail and innermost parts painted, but mostly I just have the part interiors "blacked" so that all the openings in the finished kit don't look trashy.

The clips are in HD - a first for me - and you'll really get more of what you came here for if watch them at full res.

It'll take you a little over a half an hour to get through these, but I found out how to embed them in high quality, and they're all edited and stuff, so I imagine it could be time well spent if you like this sort of thing.

They pretty much speak for themselves...
