I’ve got the all clear from Syd to use a 3rd party resin conversion kit on my entry.
AS long as the base kit is official and bought from HLJ theres no problem.
I hope they make it in time to give you enough room to work without rushing! This is why I wished HLJ had announced the opening date of the competition a month or two in advance. This way we would of had time to think about what we wanted to build and have enough time to order the stuff!
I’m planning on just EMSing it in at the end of the month so I should get it within a week with plenty of time to work on it. I’ve already started testing out some ideas and parts on my Form IV 1/100 barbatos (Since it’s mostly the same kit) so I won’t waste as much time with planning and experimenting when the Form VI comes in.
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 placed my order and it was “In stock” and now it went to “back ordered” in my open order. So I guess I just made it though. 😛 The order put another kit into “Low stock” too.
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…
[YMT-05 Hildolfr] progress update.
Just snap fitted tank and did scene planing. Look ok. Now it’s time to take models apart and do some shopping. Need paints and some parts for modifying Zaku. In the meantime will prepare Hildolfr for painting – the usual stuff – sanding, putty, more sanding… Also will think and learn how to make sand diorama.
So the premise of the diorama is a confrontation. Good, that is always interesting. If I manage to enter that is what I will do as well.
The problem I am seeing is the placement. If the cutting mat is the base of the scene then your models are in parallel and perpendicular to it. Parallel and perpendicular do not translate well for…[Read more]
Thanks for the input. I just wanted to fit models on a mat so I can move it freely on a table, Of course diorama will have different setting. I think I need something bigger then my cutting mat, Hildolfr is quite big 🙂;)
aw hell yes.
look forward to it 🙂
Never seen this type of model before? Is it from an anime?
It’s from gundam wing series
Thanks. No wonder I have never seen it, I am strictly a ‘CE’ timeline guy when it comes to Gundam!
You might want to watch out. Using non-Bandai third party stuff is not totally ok in every circumstance.
No third party here, it’s all my designs with 3D printed parts
So you’re molding your own plastic and 3D printing your own stuff?
