missile pods?
nah, how bout beam reflector funnels… (if only i knew what the heck i was doing when it comes to hand painting; i suck at that game)
they’ll eventually be…
Looks fine from here. It looks like the back of the missile pods have some wear to them, so you could have fooled me. So it’s not bad hand painting, it’s an awesome painting job with weathering 😉
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get that cool effect on the red at the front of the pods? Looks really great!
thanks for saying so! as long as no one looks at them too closely & realizes that ‘weathering’ effect is just a fluke, i guess i could go with that. the red on the front are actually jewel pieces made by HiQParts. they can be found on hlj (http://www.hlj.com/product/HQPVCDOME-R/Sci). first time i’ve used them, and i’ve gotta say i like the look…[Read more]
Another update on the kitbash. Frame is about 75% done, just need to finish the arms and the backpack. Backpack will take some time cause I have to mod it to get the tallgeese thrusters and the fuel tanks back there.
Thnx, with all the joint modification that i needed to do i really hope it comes the way im thinking. Hopefully i will have the frame finished by the end of the weekend.
I was able to get the tallgeese shoulders mounted on the stein arms. This is the only mod for the arms so the rest is a straight build. Nominal articulation loss and the joint is strong enough to hold the weight of all the guns I havd planned
anyone know a good online shop that sells modelling spray paints (preferably tamiya) and will ship to an APO address? i’m stuck on some random rock out in the middle of the atlantic for a handful of months and can’t seem to find any suitable paints in my area for the models i’m working on right now.
Yeah it was a bit of a process with a fair amount of cutting. I posted some more detailed pics of that process in this thread a little while ago. There is a full detailed WIP on my FB page if you are interested
So this is how I managed to get the delta plus legs onto the sinanju stein waist with minimal loss of articulation. Also most of the leg frame is finished up at this point.
What kits are you mashing if you don’t mind me asking? It looks kinda like a rezel and delta plus maybe? And either way it goes together well 😀 do you plan on painting?
Delta plus leg with the sinanju stein leg thruster. The piece will also include parts from the tallgeese EW and the GP03S. Total paint job with a white and two tone of grey, some metallic detailing and red accenting.
Nice Group logo! Recently watched a re-edit of the prequels that combines them all into a single 3 hour movie. It was way better that the original prequels, Jar Jar Binks was completely removed, but even then it kinda sucked 🙁
Interesting idea. This Delta could turn out great (or not). The big question about it. Will it transform?
PS. I cannot wait to see the legs assembled – cause right unless you heavy modify the steins trusters they will look awkward (im not sure if they will hide the orginal Delta leg thrusters ).
All in all good luck with the build. And if its…[Read more]
Well I can tell you that it will not transform. The legs are the only parts of the delta that I’m using. I didn’t mod the steins thrusters yet but when I test fit the part of the thruster that connects to the arm it looked good and didn’t completly hide the delta thruster
I’m confident that it will look good when I’m finished
So the first modification in this kit bash was trying to get the sinanju stein feet onto the delta plus legs. Since both have the female side of the connection, I needed to graft the post from the bottom of the sinanju leg into a poly cap of sorts to replace the actual poly cap from the leg of the delta.
I’m going to smash these 4 together and see what I get 😉 there will be a full WIP on my FB page for those interested. More posts once I get to some of the modifications
Well now i just have to wait for HLJ to get the RG Wing Zero back in… At least i can look at pretty pictures and try to learn Japanese in the mean time.
well this one is finally done, until the water slides i ordered come in. So much weight from all those weapons makes this one rather limited when it comes to poses. Those fuel…
While im waiting for a package full of plastic to arrive, i figured i would get some work done on the nu ver ka. Im trying to get as much done before the kits for my monster kit bash come in.
So I got a bunch of plastic for the holiday and i got a few (less than half) of the weapons on the clear unicorn. I think its time to start on the pink and green nu with some…
The FA Unicorn is looking great, have you thought about getting the PG Unicorn? Also, that’s a really cool colour scheme for a Nu, it’ll look really nice with your Sazabi.

Thank you very much for replying on how you manage to get the red on the missile pods. Much appreciated!
