I've recently been working on a repair and re-paint of an Incredible Hulk kit for a client.

One arm and one leg were broken off when my client received the kit from another builder and he was after someone local to make the repair for him. So far, I've repaired the damaged limbs, and have almost repainted the entire kit (been working on this for a month or so now).

Thoughts and suggestions are always welcome so let me know what you think so far (this is my first attempt at a figure kit so I'm interested on how it looks).

Nice story, great to see someone wanting to repair a kit instead of dustbinning it.

I like the repair, well done. The green is looking really good. Not sure if I like the pants as much. To me the photos show a very light purple with no shadow detail. Any plans for a shadow wash?

Yes, once I finish the hand brushing, I'll clear coat it and then give the whole kit a wash to darken all the cracks and creases.

Update time :

Finished up the face of the Hulk and it is now ready for a wash or two. My client also sent me up the Thor companion piece, which unfortunately suffered the same fate as the Hulk did (the arm broke off). So far, I've repaired it and it is now ready for paint :

I'm on holidays at the moment (attending a model expo interstate), so I plan on painting the arm and torso next weekend when I get back home.

New update :

Repaired Thor's arm now, but noticed that there was a crack in the other one. Have repaired that and repainted the skin areas.

Also, my client has sent me the Police Car that mounts in the Hulks hands. Damn it's huge!! I'll be starting on that as soon as I finish up on the figures.

Any thoughts so far?

What material is the smashed car made of?

It's made of resin so it's quite heavy!

Update :

Work has been slow on this build as most of my painting has been done in my garage and it's winter here (which means 0 degrees celcius when I have time to paint). I finally have moved my painting inside after building a custom spray booth and extraction fan setup so the police car is finally starting to look like a police car :

Next up is some more masking, more painting and then it should all be done!

That's looking awesome! Yeah, I can imagine the challenge of masking a smashed, wrecked car.
Did you modify the resin car with any of your own detailing?

No, there were no changes. My client asked me to just paint it so there was no need to modify it at all.

Hi Scott,

Great work on the car! Hey, any plans to document the building of your spray booth? I'd be curious to see how and what you created, given I'll be needing to build one later this year.

I used an old computer desk, some MDF, a standard ceiling extraction fan and some piping to go to the window. The window has a bit of MDF in it to block the rest while the pipe sticks out of it.

Having the desk made it a lot easier.
