  • Carcharodon carcharias

    A snapfit plastic model from Bandai, released through the Exploring Nature Lab product line. The mouldings were of solid-plastic, translucent-plastic, and rubber materials.

    I had the solid plastics airbrushed with Mr. Hobby paints, and the translucent and elastic pieces left unpainted. Panel line accentution solution was applied to the rubbery parts.

    In the final assembly, the pieces gripped together firmly.

  • Mammoth

    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.
