I started cutting out the parts for the legs, but there is a problem. One of the parts was broken out of the package, meaning I HAVE to order a replacement. There is no fixing it, I’ve had enough stress fixing broken pieces.
No problem, mate. 🙂 I almost overlooked it myself, haha. Might as well use EMS though, right? Sometimes it takes me a month to get parts from them via SAL. :/
Yeah, I’ll go with EMS. These parts hate me, don’t they? Haha! It certainly isn’t convenient, but I am not going to give up with this kit. You will not defeat me Gunpla!
Don’t worry. I have a tendency to do that with every other model kit. Just curious, which part(s) of your Crossbone did you break (that is, if at all)? It seems that the major knee joint is rather fragile on all of the Crossbone models.
Work on this kit has been rather slow due to time constraints. I have started cutting and de-nubbing the parts, and I think I already need to order at least one replacement, due to a simple mistake I made early on. I don’t think I did a great job on the nubs, but everything will hopefully work out in the end. The nubs on the torso are…[Read more]
Unless the nub marks are glaringly obvious (and by that I mean a big white mark on a dark-colored part), there’s a good chance they won’t be noticed. You’re using the hobby knife to de-nub, right?
Hmmm, depends on how big of a hole. It maybe noticeable to you, but it might not be for someone else. I did something similar on a couple of my kits and I don’t notice them until I look for them.
I’ve gotten most of the frame work painted up and detailed. I panel lined the joints in the legs and added some bronze details. I think it’s turning out pretty good thus far.
I also painted up the gold parts last night. They will get a clear coat tonight. The parts on the chest will need to be taped off and hit…[Read more]
So far I’ve been using what cans I have left to use them up and get rid of them. However once the armor is started, it’ll be all airbrush. I’ve got my Tamiya paint ready for thinning. And I also was able to pick some Alclad stuff to try out.
I’ve got some more pics of the new suits set to appear in Shin Gundam Musou. Like the Strike, the Impulse can swap between it’s Force, Sword, and Blast packs. Same goes for the Akatsuki and it’s Oowashi and Shiranui packs. Also, it looks like the Jet Windam will be in the game. One can only hope if Neo’s custom Windam will be in there as well.
