Customer Spotlight: Adam Rehorn
We always love to share our customers’ work. Nothing is more inspiring than seeing examples of other artists’ and hobbyists’ skill, creativity, and passion.
Adam Rehorn is a frequent visitor to our London location, and models just about everything: cars, ships, aircraft, armour, and sci-fi. His work is impressive, especially his customized gundam models.
Adam took a Gundam Tryon 3 kit, which is already a sweet model, and modified it to resemble an early Transformer, called the Predaking. He gives a nice run-down on his process for this model here.
Adam has been working at his craft for some time, so it’s no surprise how refined the finished product is. A few weeks ago, he sent us an email, telling us a bit about his modelling experience: “I've been building Gundams since 1995, so I've had a lot of time to establish my style and hone my skills.” His particular style stays away from realistic weathering effects in favour of a clean, bold paint work and detailing. “I tend to make my Gundams look like cartoons that have stepped off the screen into 3-D,” he told us. “It's all personal preference, and that's one of the great strengths of Gundam kits; you can combine imagination, personal taste, style and modelling skill to get a completely unique result!”
For more of Adam’s fantastic work, hop on over to his site, The Sprue Lagoon.
