I am going for an “abandoned in the desert” theme. Have to add alot of damage to this beauty. I feel a bit bad about it, but in that way, the hidden details under the armor will come to light.
Continuing with the hard work the gundam takes form more and more imposing, the design of the wings is already defined. Today I will put leds in the eyes and in all the clear parts
I have modified the proportions enough to make it more balanced but I think I will have to enlarge the armor of the waist
Yup, been wanting to make a gampf thingy for years, so seemed like a good time.
Pushed all other projects to the side for this too.
Would be cool if you joined, though I wouldn´t mind missing the competition 😛
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
Found some time for first drybuilds. I got so many ideas while building it.
I recommend this kit, it is so much fun. And in 1/20 you can go completely nuts with the details.
I highly recomend it. Ordered the Scopedog almost a year ago, for this project, but it is still backordered. So I changed to the brutishdog. Even the boxart is amazing.
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.
Added a skirt from a Tamiya 1/35… Tank, forgot the name ^_^
Also removed the sides and added some visual interest.
And added a trench for the Gampfs spine, which I lined with plastic to create a sloped, raised area.
All in the hope of creating a more interesting shape than the egg was at first.
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
I got my barbatos built up and have started transfering the parts I’ve been working on over to him. The shoulder joints are modified from a graze kit I messed up the painting…
Forgot to mention – guntank has been upgraded with side skirts and extra armor in front. It’ll be battle damaged as well. Sidewalk completed before wrecking it up…
See more tank traps and start of concrete barriers.
Okay so finally made some progress. Finished snapping the upper body together. Luckily I also have a Sinanju that I haven’t touched and remembered I can connect the bazooka to…
Thanks! No but that kit is beautiful though. If you copy/paste “China UC 1:100 MSN-04 Sazabi Ver. Ka Extra Fit MG Conversion kit 沙煞比 高達” on ebay you can see it. It’s a lot more subtle than that. Your kit is looking excellent by the way! I’ve never seen those pieces before. Can’t wait to see it fully painted!
Oh, thats the side 3 resin detail up kit 😛
I had that one, but sold it when I saw the ID one
If its an original cast, then you’re in for a treat, side 3 kits are REALLY well produced, however some chinese studios are recasting them with varying degrees of quality -_-
Hi Everyone!
Starting out a diorama with the much maligned Guntank!
Diorama will be a cityscape where the guntank has taken a Zeon checkpoint. The Guntank is rolling over a…
Yeah it’ll be a challenge to bring it all out. I’m replacing some of it and hiding some with removable skirts but I may leave a panel or two off to show off the tread work that I plan.
The Origin HG kits are some of the best in their category and they are all CE timeline to boot. They have a feel of ‘common place’ military mecha of the future, just like tanks and aircraft are common place today.
The anime is also great and is up there with ‘8th Team’ and ‘War in a Pocket,’ as regards down-to-earth military animation shows.…[Read more]
