An update on my Kampfer Amazing build. I just clear coated a few parts, including the head. It’s already dry to the touch and it’s looking pretty good. I’m very tempted to put together the head. I’m anxious to show it off to you guys.
My new cannons also came in today. And just as I feared, the peg that needs to go into the backpack is to small.…[Read more]
What I have decided to do, is instead of using the peg the cannons came with. I’m going to glue in a piece of runner into the slot where the peg is supposed to go. Then fill it in with putty, sand it smooth, and paint it. I figure that should be a lot more secure than gluing an extension onto an existing peg. I’ll just make one for the right side,…[Read more]
I put my 1st layers of paint on the Kampfer last night. I painted all the gray parts and the head, along with the spikes on the shoulders. I’m going to do some detail work on the frame and head. When I get the head all done. I’ll show you guys the custom blue I’ll be using.
What you all recommend to glue a hard mounting point? I believe that I’ll have to modify the Kampfer Amazing’s binder brackets to fit the new cannons. So what would you all recommend? I don’t think the cement will hold under the stress. I’m thinking super glue.
Dlinker: The pieces that attach the binders to the backpack. I’m thinking that the attachment that comes with the cannons isn’t going to be large enough to do the job.
Well, the cannons comes with a peg to mount them. But I don’t think it’ll be long enough. So I might have to make it longer or retro fit the ones that come with the Kampfer to the cannons.
^ That might work. Get some plastic or brass rods and make them longer that way. Retrofitting the KA’s should work too, if it’s just a matter of moving parts of it around and fusing them together.
Things are really busy here, and I’ve had almost no time to go onto the web. Here is just a picture of the Sazabi, since I’m impatient. I got a dust piece underneath a waterslide, and it’s bugging me real bad. The thing is, you can’t even see it.
Another good flat finish on this and the decal work is seamless, although the one on the shoulder is showing a bit, but that could be due to the lighting on that area.
Don’t worry about that decal. If it’s hard to see for you, then it’s nearly impossible for everyone else.
Here is an update on my Kampfer. I’ve got everything but the legs and weapons de-nubbed. And I’m about to run out of rods. So, I’m going to get the frame work for the legs, and the thrusters de-nubbed. Then I’m going to paint all the gray parts and thrusters. Detail and clear coat them. That will give me enough rods to finish out the armor pieces.…[Read more]
I’m going to wait for a long time before I get one. It looks great, but somehow I’m all spent in terms of the Unicorn design. I guess that’s what happens when you get four RDs, one of the HGUCs, and the Metal Composite figure. Too many of the design on my shelf.
Yeah you’re telling me. I have the current HGUC version, So I’m going to get these to finish it all up. Might spring for the FA Unicorn Mode just to say I have them all. haha
I’ve got too many kits on my wish list to worry with that one anytime soon, and my Ka just got ordered. I’ve got a decent backlog right now too so yeah…
So, here is my Playing with Plamo contest entry. The AGE-2R “Black Blade”
Looking back, there a few things that I would have done differently. Like I would have airbrushed the clear green instead of hand painting it. It was my 1st ever kit that I have airbrushed. I learned a lot while doing it, which is exactly what I wanted to do. Though I…[Read more]
Thanks guys. I’ve put into a bit more of a dramatic pose after the shoot. As if it were rushing forward for a shoulder tackle. I learned a lot from this kit. I hope that I can what learned here and make my Kampfer Amazing look 10x better.
