Decals complete! I only had one small mishap. It was with the small, red triangle on the inside of the right leg. I guess I didn’t dry it well enough, so it slid while drying. I just used masking tape to create a triangular shape and hand-brushed it with red acrylic paint. You won’t notice it unless you know where to look, I think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a flat clear coat, I could start putting the kit together. You can’t make it strike this pose the way it is built straight out-of-the-box! There are ball joints in the hips, pivoting pegs in the feet, and polycap sockets for the shoulders enables the Glaug to attain more dynamic poses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had taken a mold of the nose with Oyumaru plastic clay, cut out the mono-eye, insert the piece into the mold, and backfilled it with UV resin. I then painted the backside of the resin with Molotov chrome paint pen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pretty badass! Next was time to do other clear parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d taken a mold of the top cannon’s sensor with Oyumaru. I filled the mold with UV resin, cut off the back part, painted the underside and back with the chrome pen, then airbrushed the part with Mr. Color 47 Clear Red along with the H-Eyes lenses from Wave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
