This one is one of my
favorite kits for several reasons.
For starters, I remember the movie (The Golden Voyage of Sinbad),
and especially the scene where Kali comes alive and fights Sinbad, fondly.
I also love it because with it I learned Texture Stamp(ing).
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jim Bertges who,
on the General Modeling board, answered my question about what to do
when sanding a bad seam flattens the texture of the kit.
He explained in very simples terms how to do a stamp with liquid latex.
The stamping technique is top notch. Thanks again Jim.
Kali came with some bad seams/fits on her shoulder "joints",
arms (6 of 'em no less! ) and legs. Now, even if you
look closely, you have to squint to see anything.
The last reason this is one of my favorite kits is that I feel that I
really
improved my wash technique.
I used to leave rings and such but on Kali, it worked great.
She looks weathered and dirty.
Thank's to everyone for posting tips on washes
and ratio paint/thinner to achieve a good wash.
Now let's hope it wasn't just a fluke.
