There is a spot in my house that i dedicated for “painting tasks” :)

20070527_psite01

Its corner right next to a window which allows plenty of ventilation needed during airbrushing and dealing with solvents. I got all my painting equipment and tools organized around this place…. I paint all my stuff here, from 1/6th headsculpt to 1/35th AFVs. Got Ron Volstad’s illustration pinned on the wall – source of inspiration ;)

post Tribute to my tools….

May 21st, 2007

Filed under: 1/6th, Tutorial — takashi @ 4:06 am

Here’s a quick look at my favourite tools used for my 1/6th customizing.

Most of these tools have been with me for years (ever since i got hooked to buiding model kits). Some are bought from local hardware stores, model kit store, art store, accidentally removed from office ;) and some i don’t even know how i got it!!! A few cost a bomb, luckily most are rather cheap… what’s really important is it does the job!

These tools are mainly used during the construction phase, i cover painting tools in later posts :)

Underlined are the most used and cant-do-without items.

From left to right :
Single Edge Razor Blade, Surgical Blade, Scapel, Disecting tool 1 (arrow tip), Disecting tool 2 (needle tip), file 1 (needle), file 2 (flat), file 3 (triangular), file 4 (i dunno how to describe :o ), steel ruler

This will be the first part of our figure photography tutorials.

We always make it a point to record our custom work. We have been using photography for the past years to do this and we must admit our skills in taking studio photographs has greatly improved. It’s not like we are any close to the level of a pro-photographer, however it’s good enough for us to take decent figure shots and certainly is good enough for the hobby :)
