New Here and new build up!
« on: May 12, 2009, 11:38:00 AM »
Hello everyone I've been looking for a new home and classic monsters is where I began as a kid!
Here is a kit I've been working on- Pegasus War of the Worlds dio.

Hey, Mitchellmania! Welcome to the group - a bunch of crusty ol' monster lovers!

Unfortunately I can't see your build at work - I'll have to check it out when I get home.
One question - what paint did you use for the ships? I bought the large single ship but haven't painted it yet...

Hey Chris! Yes I'm crusty and old LOL!
Actually, I used Testors copper spray color. I wasn't happy with it though. I wanted a glossy metallic shine.
I stripped it down once, but heck "it's only a model"!

Mitchell (?),

Your paint job really turned out nicely.  That's a great new kit and pretty affordable.

Velcome to de club!  The model is great!  I like your use of orange representing heat on the front of the tanks! :o

When I got my kit, I suspected that it was originally planned to be done in a copper-colored plating. There's no reference to painting the ship in the instructions painting guide, but they DO refer to "being careful when working with the chrome plated parts to not ruin the chrome finish(!)... They probably found out how much all that plating would cost and said "Screw it!"

Very Nice work.  I have held off getting the diorama kit because I haven't seen a good quality picture of a build up.  UNTIL NOW.  Thank you kindly for the post.  My PRE-PAINT Martian Ship will soon have company.  Thank you for sharing.  David

Welcome to the club old friend! Good to see you here with the rest of us monster kids and monster kit makers.

Haven't gotten that kit as I still have to build the Monsters in Motion War Machine Deluxe kit and also bought the sound chip for it.
