Back to work today. I used some runner parts to make a couple of suspension rods for the neck. I also tried to test fit the Qanta shield with the raiser wings. It turned out…
after seeing this thing assembled, im now thinking of casting out the clear parts. i feel that blue clear parts would go better on this kit. Let’s see if i can find all the materials i need to do that
Last night was very productive. I got the waist inner frame almost done (construction-wise, still needs cleanup and a ton of detailing), and the crotch joint works perfectly.
I will finish building it today, and hopefully begin scratch-building the front skirts.
Here’s a comparison shot for now of the current modifications I’ve done. The left image is taken from Tai Factory. I’m pretty please of the current progress. There are some…
Thanks. I wanted to post more pics but ill wait until i have more of the mods done. Those shoulder pads need some open hatch gimmicks and i need to find a way to mount all the GN drives i have lying around.
This is looking really cool – not a suit that I have on my wishlist but maybe your thread will change my mind, just wondering – what is Tai Factory? A previous custom you like or an original look…I am not familiar with the kit so need to get my head around what it looked like before it was Ronin’d ha
Well, my plan is to make this kit look more like an MS from the Gryps Conflict (UC 0087). I’ve been planning this build since 2015; I studied a lot of Titans MS (especially…
I want it to look more UC 0087-ish. I’ve been planning this custom for almost 2 years, and felt this contest was the perfect scenario for starting it.
I will scratch build a new torso, head, shoulders, waist (including front, back and side skirts), weapon, backpack, feet and heavily modify the legs.
I hope I can get it done before the deadline 😛
After a few hours of mulling over how to open hatch the legs, I found an elegant and hingeless way to do it. I first cut both shin panels apart. Then I stuck together the back…
I started work on the legs. I cut the leg panel’s lower portion and stuck them on the knee cap. So now the knee cap moves with lower leg panels and exposes the mechanism inside.
I finished adding plates on the arms for now. I may add one last detail for the elbow, like a custom elbow guard that will be mounted on the elbow condenser so it will move…
Pardon for the very frequent updates. So I managed to knock one off the list by adding a hatch mechanism for the forearms. I dig a groove for a rod to fit in. Took one of the…
I wanted to fit the limbs together to see how the overall proportion is at the moment. I was very pleased on how it turned out. I always felt that the torso of these 00…
I wasn’t looking for a way to broaden the torso and found a great way to detail it. Using some of the spare hands that came with the 00 seven sword and tacked them on the side of the torso. Also added some caps on the inner shoulder for detail.
Dude! It was your sinanju stein that I was trying to compete against the last time around. Then you got bumped to advanced and my heart was crushed beyond repair at the notion of me not having enough skill to even compete in the same level. I’m sure what you have in store would be the one to beat this year. I can’t wait to see it myself.
Did some forearm detailing. I cut that panel that has an ugly seam line. That panel I cut will be stored for use on a different part that for now I have not decided on yet. I’m still trying to figure out how to lengthen the biceps.
This weekend was very good. I was able to scratch build some grills for the chest. Made the whole chest area more robust while trying to maintain the features of the Qan[T]. It was a bus scary since I’m cutting and sculpting parts that I know won’t be useable if I mess it up. Overall I was pretty pleased.
Some more progress for this weekend. I mounted the hinges on the body after sculpting them. Had to sand off some detail so the panels would close properly. Also used a polycap…
I started with the open hatch mechanism on the chest panels. After some fitting, I went with the scissor style hinge that would move both the top and bottom parts to open the…
Thanks for the step by step on the armour adding – I just learnt something!
