Haven't had much time with finals and getting ready to move. Some of the parts already have silver and burnt iron paint, lower right.

Primered parts:

Overall progress so far: between 60-70% of the parts are ready for primer, I'll start priming within the week.

Latest updates on the Spartan, got distracted a bit so not as much progress as I'd like.

Evened out the chest vent armor with putty.

Prepared lower torso for thrusters.

Started building Anakin's Podracer from Star Wars

It's a pretty simple kit, 1/32 scale.

The pod itself has some horrible seemlines, so I set it aside for now and did some modding to the engines.

Part of the reason for this blog is to keep centralized WIPs that I previously posted across several forums. This WIP had 4 updates on those forums before I created the blog, new updates will appear as separate blog entries.

I'm building this GM Spartan from Ako Creation, I have some ideas on what I'd like to do with this kit, going for more of a "Spartan Custom" so to speak. My goal is to finish this kit for the MMC Conversion Contest, as well as teach myself new techniques... also, to have fun with magnets...
