GunplaGamer posted an update in the group What are you building? 8 years, 11 months ago
I am building a custom Real grade kit for a group build on another website 🙂 It combines 5 kits. Real Grade Strike Freedom, Real Grade Exia, Real Grade Aile Strike, HGUC Unicorn and HG Astraea.I added all the comments I made in the posts on the other website. You can check my old progress here: http://gundam-eclipse.net/topic/5406750/1/?x=50#new
I cut off the bottom of the chest where the Psycho frame goes so I can have clearance for the sides of the torso. I need to remove that paint lol. What would be the easiest? Its just Gundam Marker. I modified the psycho frame to fit flush with the rest of the chest.
I removed most of the side of the psycho frame, leaving that little bit so it can slide into the torso. On the second pic, this is what it looks like, put together. That is not glued or anything it actually attaches to the frame and stays there…I’ll take a pic of how I did that…should have done that in hind sight :P.
The top of the chest, and a before and after pic of modifying the collar as it didn’t really look all that good also it prevented head movement.
I split the strike freedom chest in two and made so it will fit over the psycho frame. This still needs modifying now, or I may just cement it in place. Front side look.
Back side look of the chest. Also yeah I didn’t clean at all during this construction as I was on a role 😛
Now I have been doing a lot of work with the chest and I used rubber eraser to stick it all together…lol so It looks slightly off…but its a prototype of what it possibly it will look like with out any putty or pla plate added. A lot of modifying is still needed i believe. But its starting to look good 🙂
I am starting to get an idea of what colors I would like. I am thinking white, grey, blue, dark blue, and gold. I do like how the side view is one angle in the front. It follows nicely. I am thinking though that the chest might be too wide.
I will be painting this frame as the blue clear frame will be for the other custom. I am combining Strike Freedom’s and Aile Strike’s back. I am thinking on doing a-symmetrical wings using Strike Freedom’s Wings, kind of like Fenice. At the moment the Aile Strike back is modified to fit flush on the back and it somewhat connects, but as you seen from the side shot there is a gap which will be closed.
I might be change the Unicorn chest to be slightly sunken in to add in more detail. Let me know what you guys think! 😀 😀
I need to cut the backpack in half and going to the craft store today to see if i can get a hobby saw. Also I have an idea for the legs which I need RG Exia for as well as the head and a few other things.
I am thinking to put the bottom of the chest of aisle strike and the top of unicorn chest together. to get a nice detailed chest.
Sooo I went to my local craft store and they had a hobby mitre set, so i picked that up and then preceded to cut the backpack of Strike Freedom in half….I put together the backpack first so everything would be flush :D. It came out amazing with needing only a few touch ups
Still working on how to fully fit it into the backpack but working on it! 😀
I also started to fully modify the back and how the backpack will sit on it. I am going for a asymmetrical look and getting the Aile Strike back to look like it belongs there and not just slapped on the back.
As you can see I cut of the sides of the pieces that I will not be using but leaving the back of the strike freedom mostly intact (atm) so it can attach securely to the frame. I cut off the right of the Aile Strike back so I can get the Strike Freedom wings more flush with the back.
I made an indent on the waist section so the aisle strike backpack can slot into it. =]
I did quite a bit more sanding on the back of the Aile Strike so it sits into the back. So it looks like it is going into the waist.
I did change the torso quite a bit as I wanted a different look after I saw all the runners for RG Exia and what my initial plan was before I saw the runners till a few days ago when I saw them. Definitely going to be using the legs, modified of course and the waist section. Let me know what you guys think!. Also colors are not final and some pieces will be put together with glue and putty as well.
Sooo after I received my pla plate and trying to tell the seller they sent the wrong one…(I ordered 2.0mm regular Pla Plate and not .2mm clear pla plate). The seller was from China and I believe they just got the order mixed up and could not understand my email 🙁 . I found 2.0mm pla plate in stock on HLJ for $6 like right after I told them to ship Phenex. Since i saw how easily HLJ sells out of plaplate I ordered 3 and hopefully that will last me a while.
It will come with my shipment of two RG Exia’s, one is for this and the other is for a OOB build with some minor painting. Will order another once I get my Exia Repair mod kit.
I tweaked the chest yet again and I am liking the way it looks more. Still needs a little touch up. The PlaPlate will definitely help me with that.
What do you guys think so far?
