Hey everyone!
Just wanted to post the last WIP photos of my (not completed) entry.
I won’t do very detailed descriptions, because there are a lot of photos this time.
Also,…
Also, in the photos where it’s all assembled, there are parts that I didn’t put on the model because it would be a bit risky. For example: armor for the back of the legs and armor for the feet.
Thanks, man! My idea was to make it look like an MS from UC 0088/0093-ish; maybe a combination of elements from Zeta, ZZ, AOZ and maybe UC. Also, the backstory is that this MS was a mix of Jupitris design elements and regular EFF MS elements.
Thanks again for encouraging me to finishing this build!
Thanks, Orchidia! 😀
I did paint it but not completely, besides main painting I just did some minor detail painting (15 minutes before the deadline) and submitted the photos, but I plan on finishing the model properly after the competition is over.
Thanks again for your interest 😉
Haha, yeah. I wanted to get it as close as possible to being finished, then I had to use the time I had left. BTW, I slept only one hour that night 😛
I couldn’t complete my entry, but I submitted it anyway. But why couldn’t you complete it if you had a ton of time? Well, for three reasons:
1 – My hobby knife broke a few weeks ago, and that made scratchbuilding and detailing spectacularly slower.
2 – My airbrush broke a few days ago when I was starting painting. I had to order a new one and wait…[Read more]
Hey guys! I’ve been very busy working on my entry, and I think I will finish it in time. I’ve been documenting my progress, then I will upload some more photos son.
Also, seeing all these builds getting closer to being finished is really exciting, then I wanted to suggest HLJ make a video (or a blog post) showing all the submitted entries. That’d…[Read more]
same, I’m feeling the crush of slacking off earlier on. I’d also love like a huge gallery of all the entrants somewhere on site after this is over, cos there are so many builds we just won’t see
Hey everyone! The deadline is closer and I’ve been building stuff non-stop. I still have quite a lot to do, but I am 99% I will finish it in time.
Anyway, here is TORSO S…
Retook shots of the kit. This time I feel I have better lighting. I had problems posing the many different configurations. The kit also fell twice and had to glue certain parts. Sorry for spamming.
‘The only restriction on modification is that no photos can be touched up in order to alter the appearance of any enhancements, or imperfections of the kit.’ from that I’d assume no, personally
I got a lot of stuff done these days, and I will show you one of the main things.
These are the back skirts; they are scratchbuilt and cleaned up, I just need to start detailing them.
More info on the photo descriptions.
It’s april already, we are running out of time. I wish you the best of luck, guys!
I forgot to mention the blue part can be removed for reveal the polycap-like part, this will be useful for a gimmick which I will keep as a secret for now 😛
It’s been a while since I posted an update here, but anyway, this is some of the stuff I got almost done recently.
The first photo shows the inner frame of one of the feet, I…
Just simple ruler and sharp cutting knife. To make it symmetrical, just use the same geometry from one side to the other and then cut both identical pieces individually. Put them together temporarily with tape and sand them together.
Ok thanks for the info. Is there a brand or blade type you recommend?
What is the thickness of your styrene? Sorry about the questions I just have tried many ways of getting good symmetrical pieces and have always had issues.
I’m using 0.5mm plaplates for the thin panels on top while using 1.2mm plates underneath for a sturdier build. I use tamiya extra thin cement to bond them together.
As for the knife, i merely use an off the shelf hobby knife. nothing fancy. I actually cut my plates really oversized first, then use one cut to shave off the corners. i avoid using…[Read more]
Damn, they are in the wrong order again -.- Just start from the end :))
Also, in the photos where it’s all assembled, there are parts that I didn’t put on the model because it would be a bit risky. For example: armor for the back of the legs and armor for the feet.
Incredible mods. It wouldn’t fit any regular Gundam series except Gundam Build Fighters Try.
Finish the build.

Hey, that looks great!
I’m glad that you didn’t quit the build.
THAT is custom!! Hard work! When is the painting? 😉
It does look like something out of Zeta or maybe Thunderbolt-ish.
Thank you very much, ArchFluffy! 😀
Thanks, Orchidia! 😀

Thanks, it’s good to know there are at least some UC aspects on the design.
I’m still watching for things like this! Nice!
Thanks! It’s good to know :))
15 minutes before the deadline !!!!
You love danger! XD
Looking forward to seeing the pictures!
Haha, yeah. I wanted to get it as close as possible to being finished, then I had to use the time I had left. BTW, I slept only one hour that night 😛
We modelers don’t sleep much. Our lives are too exciting! 😛
Yes you’re right ! ^^
Haha, yeah! 😛 😛 😛
