there’s actually some months between each photo, but in the last weeks i’ve done all the basic build, i’m on vacations now so i’m ready for gluing all the parts and sanding.
If you find weird that I’m cutting all the pieces first is because I’m making a video of this project and needed to do so:)
Here is my starting point.
Basically it was long ago, when i opened this boxes for first time and model it self is semi done now, but anyway, every story needs beginning.
Main idea was to make sort of Exia ReIII and keep all joints as they are, even while adding something new.
Result – we would see together. 😉
Inner frame done and weathered with a bit of starship filth to imitate grease and grime. All armour and weapons painted and glossed, just a bit of panel lining to do with another top coat and I’m calling it.
I cobbled together the kit for a photo before I begin some serious work. I’ve already attempted to start on some modifications to look like the Fuchikoma from the GitS comic,…
I would love a proper fuchikoma kit,i know you get a clear fuchikoma figure/ toy in the GHOST IN THE SHELL Solid Box Set but that set is around £300 now.
But anyway it will be cool to see you make your own,i will follow this one with interest.
Thanks for the comment! A figure would be nice too but I agree, a kit would be amazing. I think there are resin kits but they are really hard to come by. I hope my kit will not disappoint.
I’m not too fond of the out of the box green myself and I will definitely be changing the color. I thought of going with red but after seeing all the color variants in the comic I’m really not sure!
I don’t think I deserve to be in intermediate, my second kit build in a decade and my first time airbrushing one (and really airbrushing in general) but I don’t think airbrushing is allowed in beginners so here I am. Doing the ever sexy barbatos lupus like I assume a lot of folks are. Love this guy and love that sword.
Quick update. almost done with the gundam unit. Custom paint and decals, builders base, and i may even ad a few custom weapon systems. the GP03-2, Iron Fox custom. if i can get a few days off this week i should be back on schedule
Build progress, almost there. Finished main assembly and started painting. Couple of things:
In all of the completed build photos, its not really “complete” as I am missing…
Thanks! I painted the undercoat Tamiya chrome silver and used Tamiya smoke (I think) for the top layer. It’s not final, but I did physically chip the top layer off and then added some red-brown and rust pastels on top.
At first I had the perfect kit in mind to post…but I realized I’ve posted a WIP online before.
However, I had this one on backup for awhile and did some work on it…
WIP 06: Masked up the blue thrusters on the bottom of the feet and finished off the grey pieces. Masked up the vents on the legs and also added an extra rectangle…
ok… so i wanted to take the shoulder pads from the DEN’AN ZON for this build but didn’t want to ruin the kit so i made silicone molds and made copies… turned out pretty…
WIP. Kit is entering the home stretch at this point, with nearly all of the painting done. A lot of the work now is test-fitting and touch-ups, which is especially true of the…
