Maschinenmensch

Incomplete figures are quite creepy. 

Following instructions and upper arm parts are added first to the body. 

I wonder if this is why there is giant hole on the back. It doesn't explain the belly hole though 

Very asymmetric model. Not something I'm used to. 

First this felt like easy snap-fit kit, but there is still need to fill some gaps. 

Trying to get a smooth surface without seam line. 

Hands seemed awful (left one). Right one has sanded edge. 

 

Shoes are cemented in. I took the base plate for shoe alignment. 

Last little bits are in. The thigh straps were numbered wrongly. Now I also noticed that the helmet is not aligned well enough... 

First I tried to paint difficult hidden places. 

I made few mistakes. I should have painted the whole model first with black primer before gloss black, because it doesn't cover so well. I also noticed, that my seam lines were not smooth enough and I had to smooth them more with surfacers and sanding. 

Black gloss primer overall. 

Pre-shading attempts. 

Aluminium paint allover.  

Base is coming up
