Plastic injection model kit released through Bandai’s Exploring Lab Nature product line. Parts came in two runners: one comprised of components representing the creature’s bones and the other the flesh.
Using Mr Hobby solvent-based acrylics, I airbrushed the mouldings. After construction, the bone structures form the main assembly while the muscles ‘shell’ encase the skeleton core, leaving only the tusks exposed.
Non-scale hobby kit by Bandai, released through the Shokugan Modelling Project (previously known as Super Minipla) product line. While it is said this rendition is a clear-material variant, some of the runners came moulded in solid-grey.
With the thought of retaining the see-through feature of the model, I opted to do without the stickers provided.
Having left the surfaces of the translucent plastics bare, enamel paints were used to accentuate the recesses on the parts. To give the solid-colour mouldings a metallic texture, I airbrushed them with silver acrylic paint.
