I was surprised that there is some additional movement for the 'feet', but since not everything is clued together yet, you'll have to wait till it's clued, in order to see what kind of posability I'm referring to.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicsyhCrlEdaBch6mEr12CZNRsH4nojcN5-ZYfm0bBeq6sfUrr6N0RTnV2HGVvYAdpWJeqdjFl89e_PuELYbI50SlG1PyGILqGvCS70-gF8cXcT8Xq_6l0dPTTnRWX0qg1pXLm_zWL91K0/s1600/psyco1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicsyhCrlEdaBch6mEr12CZNRsH4nojcN5-ZYfm0bBeq6sfUrr6N0RTnV2HGVvYAdpWJeqdjFl89e_PuELYbI50SlG1PyGILqGvCS70-gF8cXcT8Xq_6l0dPTTnRWX0qg1pXLm_zWL91K0/s320/psyco1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">head currently put together using masking tape (how will I paint the eye-piece?)</span></div><br />
Clued almost all parts together, but will have to remove the seam lines next prior clueing additional parts onto them.<br />
(I have the feeling that this is the most time consuming part in building this kit)<br />
Also modded it's left arm - I tried to make it de- and retachable, but it's just a way to complicated, so it will have a permanently detached arm.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhahKp4fykkkegmLvZ2ECTWwZVzl1_gn3ITa7NarKPADMi4aAPWiO6-i-zePc3CGmKhNCYNEP-zkE47ZmkW4nhhFjyXIBPpQW-Tl5Z9uUnWsKq7qqPSGkIzDzlbSoF-8DX50amHxsqBDc/s1600/snap008.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhahKp4fykkkegmLvZ2ECTWwZVzl1_gn3ITa7NarKPADMi4aAPWiO6-i-zePc3CGmKhNCYNEP-zkE47ZmkW4nhhFjyXIBPpQW-Tl5Z9uUnWsKq7qqPSGkIzDzlbSoF-8DX50amHxsqBDc/s320/snap008.bmp" /></a></div><br />
Added alot of wire for the arm - still able to shorten it, if it proofs to be too long.<br />
Besides the arm itself, I also modded the hands - I don't wanted the slight bend original fingers, so I used parts of the sprues to make my own straight fingers, like on the box art - also drilled holes on the front.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUiJ6NgyK60ROMJqdQFCBxHWMJJ2aFe09cC5mZpTOe_jrVUdxTKc8Vfw4JYNedIcvOS6Qs1o4l6p7KeYhPXKfOg4WpgDhUk_p7vs4rTt_dPfRNxzPKwaZ2PBDnZV2Rcima5jkYCswtQxI/s1600/psyco5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUiJ6NgyK60ROMJqdQFCBxHWMJJ2aFe09cC5mZpTOe_jrVUdxTKc8Vfw4JYNedIcvOS6Qs1o4l6p7KeYhPXKfOg4WpgDhUk_p7vs4rTt_dPfRNxzPKwaZ2PBDnZV2Rcima5jkYCswtQxI/s320/psyco5.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Will either be used for addition detail, or for leftover Beam Sabre effect parts - time will tell.<br />
<br />
Well, that's the modding done so far, but how's the posability of this 26 year old Gunpla?<br />
For the arms, they are quiet good -altough no PE for the Polycaps, it still has<strike> the same</strike> a slightly better posability than the HG GM[G] from the HG 08th MS Team line.<br />

<br />
Well, anyways, a small update on the PsyCo Zaku.<br />
Since it doesn't feature snap assembly, building will take a while.<br />
I only clue a few parts at a time, waiting for the clue to dry, and sand the excess clue in order to remove the seamline, prior adding other parts to it.<br />
Well, this results that I was just able to get both shoulders and the inside of the head done (the piece where the mono-eye decal will be applied to).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0lmBrKh22T0zwRPP7MjNVKbUc9UpmDCXLiG92sVJS6Wtu8_9QJKI5WG_S2LysgZQCjCpT2joRhoXjdfA-AHajfcbytniMvQ60Rjyhoqj4aHW_VtGOtsmvleFG82mcnZH4fnYvFdWeJQQ/s1600/psyco3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0lmBrKh22T0zwRPP7MjNVKbUc9UpmDCXLiG92sVJS6Wtu8_9QJKI5WG_S2LysgZQCjCpT2joRhoXjdfA-AHajfcbytniMvQ60Rjyhoqj4aHW_VtGOtsmvleFG82mcnZH4fnYvFdWeJQQ/s320/psyco3.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Currently thinking of a way to make the arms detachable (since the arms are like the Zeong's wire guided) and the best way to paint/build the head.<br />
<br />
So Far for the progress, now a look on some contents of the box.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe0Z4y0vLfuiazGQ-N0oFyexES7EKmXcP1Kql2Efua0eIRw6EwLTBoN9e2ScQvMHYuApggZtq9SvUbXQpMmlnhSy5N3-wapBna1vMxmYRVdcko56te7CzAQxHVhTsymOizoawtIP-Iep8/s1600/psyco2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe0Z4y0vLfuiazGQ-N0oFyexES7EKmXcP1Kql2Efua0eIRw6EwLTBoN9e2ScQvMHYuApggZtq9SvUbXQpMmlnhSy5N3-wapBna1vMxmYRVdcko56te7CzAQxHVhTsymOizoawtIP-Iep8/s320/psyco2.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Of course you will get the construction manual - it feels surprisingly familiar if you build older High Grade kits like the GM(G). Well, some difference - the construction manual will focus on the construction alone - nowadays, the manual also contains backstory and such. However, You'll get a 'mechanical file' of the 'Sycommu'[sic] Zaku - well, basically just a printed cardboard (this makes me wanna collect more MSV kits). It features alot of backstory aswell aswell a guide on where to apply the decals. <br />
<br />
speaking of decals, a small sheet of waterslide decals is included aswell<br />
<br />

alot of 2's and arrows - one mono-eye - that's about it.<br />
the MSN-01 at the bottom just seems to help you to recognize that this decal sheet belongs to the PsyCommu Zaku (since the MSN-01 is linked to the BANDAI) - or if you're making a custom display base.Ghosty-chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16244540122224527644noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5572060632079884397.post-52591466954203540522010-04-15T14:35:00.004+02:002010-04-15T18:41:52.722+02:00Back to the future!More like back to the past<br />
<br />
2 weeks ago, I ordere a 1/144 <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN01345">PsyCommu Zaku (HiMo) at HLJ</a> - it was said to be 'out of stock' back then, so I ordered it, hoping that they might get some sooner or later. (Although I had doubts)<br />
Well, 1 day later, checking e-mails, I got mail that HLJ got my money for this item - wow, they had atleast 1 in stock!<br />
Today, I received it - the mold looks good, has a small sheet of waterslide decals for detail, but besides that, it's one old kit (...but wasn't able to find any info about the original release date*).<br />
What does old kit mean?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg9n2uvReWGKwY96opncfR5mOMlLkh4ai70pYd9D1egfi8BTIzQI2pYj0-Q21bXW8RDPTy7ifqJZMw1FulF1wtwL3U4FH2AmOzj-5YVW5xNlqn614lT4KVirGTXm6y8xKtyyTMEj5cbG0/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg9n2uvReWGKwY96opncfR5mOMlLkh4ai70pYd9D1egfi8BTIzQI2pYj0-Q21bXW8RDPTy7ifqJZMw1FulF1wtwL3U4FH2AmOzj-5YVW5xNlqn614lT4KVirGTXm6y8xKtyyTMEj5cbG0/s320/1.jpg" /></a></div><br />
everything is molded in one color (white in this case), only PS plastic (therefore no PE Poly Caps for the joints). alot of seam lines etc.<br />
Since it's an (almost) all-white kit, painting will be easy, and masking will only be required for details, like the thruster and red stripes.<br />
Not build yet (currently working on the MG Ball base), but I hope, that this kit from the 80's already has the same quality in terms of 'fit', from their nowaday snap fit kits.<br />
<br />
(... oh my,... just got a stupid idea,.... which requires a 1/144 zakuI, Hi-Zack, Zaku III, Geara Zulu, Zeong, Jagd Doga, Sazabi and maybe in fall this year Sinanju,...)<br />
<br />
*edit: Should have taken a look on the runners earlier - the year this model was first released was 1984 - 4 years after First Gundam and 1 year prior Z GundamGhosty-chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16244540122224527644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5572060632079884397.post-14266205155780964252010-04-15T11:28:00.000+02:002010-04-15T11:28:17.538+02:001/100 RB-79 Mobile Pod Ball 'Ver.

Because it's the Clear Parts campaign version!<br />
<br />
I always wanted to paint/build a model like that, and the 1/100 MG Ball was the only Gunpla from the clear parts campaign which featured plenty enough clear parts to accomplish this.<br />
In fact, the Ball has an additional A-Plate (which is clear,... obviously), featuring all parts for the hull of the mainbody.<br />
While removing the masking tape after painting, I was pleased with the results, however - I masked the wrong half on one part (and I first noticed this while assembling the Ball).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdc9H6K5_jUcN7iZgZZrMHv08lO7t8hQaregDohWSddISp4Pjf9AxP-paQ-0yMmg7csyq2VTq4_PlZ_qaxxd1kLKD0gqMwH2lXIZz7-hZf1RPHZopqC5lc7bjAP2ZMkhUkqQ5AYVM9G4c/s1600/4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdc9H6K5_jUcN7iZgZZrMHv08lO7t8hQaregDohWSddISp4Pjf9AxP-paQ-0yMmg7csyq2VTq4_PlZ_qaxxd1kLKD0gqMwH2lXIZz7-hZf1RPHZopqC5lc7bjAP2ZMkhUkqQ5AYVM9G4c/s320/4.JPG" /></a></div><br />
And I wasn't able to apply the masking tape at the exact middle of all parts, resulting in some minor inconsistencies.<br />
<br />

Also painted the innerframe of course - but sadly, alot of detail got overshadowed by the clear parts and the chrome painted grid.<br />
<br />
Besides the clear parts, I installed 3 LEDs (one white and two green), illuminating the cockpit and the side,... windows I suppose.<br />
However, the base isn't finished yet - I gotta find some way to hide the batteries and switch inside the display base.<br />
(And need to practice painting the 1/100 scale figures)<br />
<br />

Starting with plamo-like figurines:<br />
This month, my first Kotobukiya Plamo will be purchased - the 1/1 scale (OMFG HUGE!!!) <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYKP-117">RRX-7.8 Combat-san</a> (included model number due the obvious Gundam reference) from the HoiHoi-san franchise.<br />

I wasn't able to get some info on the exact release date so far - only able to confirm the april release.<br />
Although I don't have Combat-san yet, I already preordered <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYKP-118">Pest-X-san</a> awell.<br />
<br />

Again a Kotobukiya kit, Pest-X-San will be released in june this year - again the enormous 1/1 scale, again towering roughly 13cm for the price of 3.000 yen - well, more expensive than the average highgrade Gundam kit, but let's wait for Combat-san to see, if the figure/plamo is worth the money.<br />
<br />
Still taking a look on posable figurines, I pre-ordered one (thinking about a second (one to play with, and one to collect) <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/MAX06130">Figma Black Rock Shooter</a> from Max Factory!<br />
<br />

Just 2667 yen excl. tax (2800yen incl. tax) - Kotobukiya,... why is the 13,5 cm Combat-san/Pest-X-san plamo more expensive than the prepainted 14cm Figma figurine?<br />
Anyways - includes the ridiculous large Rock Cannon, the blade, eye effect part thingy, and a 2nd stand for the cannon. So far, it looks really good, and will be my first Figma figurine.<br />
<br />
For the fix posed figurines, in the next few days, the <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/SEGH2327">Hatsune Miku 'Premium Figure'</a> will be released (or put into ufo catchers for people to spend their money, getting the figure).<br />

This time featuring a blue color scheme instead of the green/cyan (I prefere the blue one) and it's 24cm in heigth!<br />
<br />
Last, and with least information available at the moment, is, again, a prize item from Sega - a <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/SEGH2368-A">Misaka Mikoto figurine</a> from 'to aru kagaku no choudenjibou (reerugan)' ('a certain scientific electromagnetic rifle (railgun)') (July release) <br />
<br />
Will I be able to escape the maelstrom of figurines? Who is 'Two-Face'? And why are banana yellow, and not red, like pepper, tomatoes, strawberries, cherries? And will we ever get a MG Geara Doga?

</div><div style="text-align: left;">The MSM-03C Hy-Gogg - what a <strike>pretty</strike> <strike>ugly</strike> interesting Suit!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Debuted in the first few minutes of the first episode of 'Gundam 0080 - War in the Pocket', it was followed by serveral video game appearances and plamo of course! Currently, the most advanced plamo available for the Hy-Gogg is the HGUC version. I'd like to see a MG version of it, but I'll talk about it later.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Back to the Hy-Gogg itself. The Hy-Gogg is one Suit which, similar to Xamel, Z'Gok, Aguy etc., isn't that much humanoid as Zaku, Gundam etc.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Starting with the height, it's the smallest MS* from the OYW I know of, measuring 15.4m. The main reason for this is the fact, that the actual head was immgrated into the upper torso, which itself has the same height like a Zaku, but fatter (afterall, it also contains 4 torpedo launchers and 2 120mm machine guns). </div><div style="text-align: left;">Two extremely long 'flexible arms' are attached to the torso, covered by two huge shoulder armors, which can act as a shield, similar to the Zaku Shield. At the end of the arm, you'll finde two big hands, each having 4 'vice claws' and one Mega Particle Cannon (explaining the size of the hands).</div><div style="text-align: left;">The hand can also be equipped with a 'Hand Missle Unit', which looks like a huge propellant tank, but actually just seems to cover the missle head, in order to prevent accidental ignitions.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Equipped with hand missle unit or not, the arm can retract and the shoulder armor can fold down, making it more streamlined, improving underwater movement. </div><div style="text-align: left;">The waist and leg aren't that special, so no need to talk about them.</div><div style="text-align: left;">The feet however are shaped like a plus/+. which fold it in order to improve underwater maneuverability.</div><div style="text-align: left;">All those things are what I like about the Hy-Gogg, therefore I had to buy it!</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyways, (somewhat) onto the model itself!</div><div style="text-align: left;">The Hy-Gogg contains 4 runners (3PS 1ABS) + PolyCap set nr. 123 - well worth 1200yen in my opinion.</div><div style="text-align: left;">One nice feature is on the A-Plate - although the eye is fix posed (-), it's a part, and not a sticker (+), clear red (+), and even fluorescent! (+) - illuminating the dark pink/bright red eye with an UV LED results in some nice pink monoeye - bandai, I know this kit is about 6 to 7 years old already, but please, I want this kind of clear red/pink eye with new model kits!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Speaking of 6 to 7 years, I feel that the mold was getting old, resulting in much more loose parts.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Bending the arms to the sides, they will fall down fairly fast. The left hand won't even want to stay in place - it feels like I missed a Polycap, which I didn't (otherwise the joint wouldn't connect).</div><div style="text-align: left;">The upper knee joint is quiet loose on both legs, making it difficult to perform some nice dynamic poses.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Well, maybe it's just my Hy-Gogg - anyway, since it will be fix posed eventually, I will clue some parts, ensuring that they won't move (that) much after being finished.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Drilled a hole with 2mm diameter and fixed the feet using a 2,7mm screw from below the display base, nothing fency.<br />
With the feet mounted onto the base, you can do some more dynamic poses (proper photos to follow)<br />

<br />
Well, for painting, I used a mixing dish, water for thinning, some gloss brown acrylic airbrush color, Revell Aqua Color 'Dark Earth' (flat, acrylic aswell) and some brushes of course!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib5F7RFkVKZ2fm6Gvw-jhTedwalji2AZah63Zj7KhJOSdEHYR8uZwZDT5MYPj8Tf84Ropg8t4Egw825O4BGKDF2iVTDHPGQBS5Sps7UBccniWizT2GFhdCrZ0iKNXVwcH5IpygYKFiWa8/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib5F7RFkVKZ2fm6Gvw-jhTedwalji2AZah63Zj7KhJOSdEHYR8uZwZDT5MYPj8Tf84Ropg8t4Egw825O4BGKDF2iVTDHPGQBS5Sps7UBccniWizT2GFhdCrZ0iKNXVwcH5IpygYKFiWa8/s320/5.jpg" /></a></div><br />
First, I thinned some 'Dark Earth' so it has the same viscosity as the airbrush color (like milk) and painted one layer of paint on the epoxy. Next, painted the the inside of the foot with the gloss brown color.<br />
Well, that's about it.<br />
Why I thinned the Dark Earth color? With a high viscosity, the paint isn't fully covering the epoxy, resulting in some shading of the surface, plus it results in far less (or none in this case) brush strokes, after it dried.<br />
<br />

Satisfied so far.<br />
What's left is to mount the, still to be weathered, foot onto the base, which will be done next.Ghosty-chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16244540122224527644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5572060632079884397.post-65045383144453654402010-04-03T19:40:00.002+02:002010-04-03T20:07:06.354+02:00HGUC ZakuII display base<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Returning to Earth after 2 spaceborn Suits</span></div><br />
Have been working a long time on my HGUC Zaku II (recently finished painting it), and I'm about to weather the Zaku and mount it onto the display base.<br />
After my <a href="http://ghostychan.blogspot.com/2010/03/hguc-hi-v-gundam.html">Hi-v Gundam</a>, I decided to do again some more dynamic posing for the Zaku, but first of all, I had to build myself a base for it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbgmwKL7VzGZNuQfp_FeTveFodYbGtvVa4iutNQ_RlqpTwl5SqGfGqEVK8pKxeYkI_zmUx35-RYozy61s5FgkVjpIrLNHze1werx3dehPLYl05ivwO5E5FjKnV8OfNomeIAM2iXNrtdws/s1600/1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbgmwKL7VzGZNuQfp_FeTveFodYbGtvVa4iutNQ_RlqpTwl5SqGfGqEVK8pKxeYkI_zmUx35-RYozy61s5FgkVjpIrLNHze1werx3dehPLYl05ivwO5E5FjKnV8OfNomeIAM2iXNrtdws/s320/1.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Again, I used a base which was included with an HG00 Gadessa kit and such, like I did with my <a href="http://ghostychan.blogspot.com/2010/03/hguc-geara-doga-slightly-weathered-and.html">HGUC Geara Doga</a>.<br />
Instead of puttying the holes, I clued a piece of 0,3mm Plaplate on top of it and cut the excess styrene using a design knife.<br />
Afterwards, painted it with a gloss brown acrylic color (the same brown color I used for my old HGUC Dom Tropen) in order to emulate a wooden look - looks quiet good in my opinion.<br />
Anyways, masked the edges of the base, used some spray clue (or how to call this) and applied artificial gras on top of it.<br />
Well, since I will permanently fix the Zaku to the display base, I want to have some footprint-effect aswell. How do I do that?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGEpMXjE0FPFVUV8IN-db2R7o5GZGT2KfIBCpVfMHbaSbEBYbt7qXTMQXN-Fi_HAh4Q1M4zoQxeJbbOF3cUYlzDdNYoP3VR25TWxfXvcqU0OzlFPXp1KBS2dUvbodqIzQlOV_-BzXVlII/s1600/0.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGEpMXjE0FPFVUV8IN-db2R7o5GZGT2KfIBCpVfMHbaSbEBYbt7qXTMQXN-Fi_HAh4Q1M4zoQxeJbbOF3cUYlzDdNYoP3VR25TWxfXvcqU0OzlFPXp1KBS2dUvbodqIzQlOV_-BzXVlII/s320/0.JPG" /></a></div><br />
For my attempt, I'll be using the Zaku foot of course, some plastic wrap, epoxy putty, the display base, some water and of course some tools for sculpting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVE1FOQ4SM6DlvxVE1pp9lSqHm4Gd-7HNUzlkM1Uh8A6jT9PP9Kp5d1D8neL8CH6VqXdXyeW7AVqa4ID0P9MeN2KjtqMQtNQVeHhw-Fbz_fkvmNTTc8yjmjV8QScUX8kq70xj42UuXNkw/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVE1FOQ4SM6DlvxVE1pp9lSqHm4Gd-7HNUzlkM1Uh8A6jT9PP9Kp5d1D8neL8CH6VqXdXyeW7AVqa4ID0P9MeN2KjtqMQtNQVeHhw-Fbz_fkvmNTTc8yjmjV8QScUX8kq70xj42UuXNkw/s320/2.jpg" /></a></div><br />
First, take some epoxy putty and make yourself a 'sausage'. Once the sausage is completed, thake the foot, wrap it in the plastic wrap, apply the epoxy sausage on the edge of the foot, which should be seperated from the putty with a layer of plastic wrap of course, and push it onto the ground.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvcp0QBx7fQK_RdgO86mqKoqUqL0pb3oqADLRo-nH9DgUIxGCAoqMVw4jVRWpPRd4QOMt2mOYEVpRCUh96-l3ZeUL6hDbiJDp_ViFJAmQLjx6-pCxO-uz5OUS1pc1BHNYY6IV2ce9Dw14/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvcp0QBx7fQK_RdgO86mqKoqUqL0pb3oqADLRo-nH9DgUIxGCAoqMVw4jVRWpPRd4QOMt2mOYEVpRCUh96-l3ZeUL6hDbiJDp_ViFJAmQLjx6-pCxO-uz5OUS1pc1BHNYY6IV2ce9Dw14/s320/3.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Now you can sculpt the putty carefully, but I don't recommend taking the plasticwrap off the epoxy now, until it fully hardened.<br />
Epoxy Putty is quiet sticky and can be difficult to sculpt, however, if you wet your tools, the adhesion of the putty will be eliminated, allowing far easier sculpting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguHujuPdR6A151iUsAazse86KULcSDIH4O_0jtIjg7IZ2WeQn7jDbZILe6CRt4teTGp5P_5lWLd-qOIsC0o5foC1J1D_Puthm60UAY66hNmxZjqFhDo93TAqyhRmEsBA-asbgCxs7iPSg/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguHujuPdR6A151iUsAazse86KULcSDIH4O_0jtIjg7IZ2WeQn7jDbZILe6CRt4teTGp5P_5lWLd-qOIsC0o5foC1J1D_Puthm60UAY66hNmxZjqFhDo93TAqyhRmEsBA-asbgCxs7iPSg/s320/4.jpg" /></a></div><br />
If you're satisfied with you work, you have to leave the putty to harden for several hours - I will take a break until tomorrow.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Finished my HGUC Hi-v (nu) Gundam I've been working on - not much of a wip, since there wasn't really any worth mentioning,... or I am just to lazy for such (or both).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Although I used chrome color before on my <a href="http://ghostychan.blogspot.com/2009/11/here-comes-chrome.html">O-Gundam</a>, I wanted to know what my major mistake was.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Basically, what I read, is that I sprayed the chrome color using a too high pressure. Usually, I use 2 bar for ordinary colors, and 2,5 to 3 bar for surfacer - however, back then, I used 2 bar for the chrome aswell. Last week I read somewhere that chrome colors should be applied with about 0,8bar. With that in mind, I painted the silvery parts with my Mr. Color Super Metallic Chrome Silver. The result still isn't perfect (I don't know how good the mirror effect can be done using (this) chrome color), but by far better than the O-Gundam has.<br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: left;">Since it's the expensive 'Super Metallic' Color from Mr. Hobby/GSI Creos, the color won't come off that easily, and you don't have to 'buff' them to get the chrome effect (polishing the chrome color with a q-tip)<br />

</div>You might notice some defects with the black paint - but small model, and using the black enamel paint and lighter fluid for details won't work very well all the time - looks like I need some smaller sized q-tips v_v'<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Why G3? Why a gray Hi-v Gundam? Since I'm into Gundam, I agree with Yoshiyuki to have the Gundam painted in with a 'low visibility gray' color scheme. With the white/blue Hi-v, I wanted to have it in some kind of 'G3 Colors' like the the older MG Gundam G3. On the other hand, I don't like the tradition of Gundams with some pure white dedicated to the protagonist, and gray one for the villains (like Gundam 0083, with the captured GP02 having a gray color tone instead of white like the GP01).</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<ul><li>Gold for pipes/thrusters</li>
<li>Sensors for the BackPack Camera and BeamRifle Targeting Sensor</li>
<li>Pistons</li>
</ul>How do I paint the camera/sensor? Masking and painting would be one way, but like with the HGUC Gelgoog Marine, I experienced some Issues with removing masking tape after clear gloss was applied (although I left it to dry 2 days!!! T_T ) therefore I'll stick with another method.<br />
For this, I cut pieces of PlaPlate (0.3mm type) in the shape of the sensors - clue them on masking tape and will paint them with chrome and clear red/blue (trying to get a pink tone).<br />
(atleast chrome will be applied with my Airbrush, since I will use it for the pistons anyway) <br />
<br />

Cutting itself isn't that difficult, but since they're small, you should breath carefully - otherwise you might lose the part you trimmed for about 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
How small? Here's a comparison with a 1 Euro coin.<br />

I built myself a base for my currently under construction HGUC Geara Doga (Rezin Schnyder ver., but will be painted in the original green colors)<br />
Basically, I used a base which is/was included with either HG Gadessa, Gaddess, Garazzo, Arios, Susanowo, Masurao, puttied one hole (more or less well,... more less), painted it black, applied one layer of clear, applied 4 water slide decals ( <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN960236">Gundam Decal vol. 72 - Neo Zeon Char's Counterattack</a> - the MS name, it's model number, faction it belongs to and the plamo manufacteurer) and finally applied another layer of clear, sealing the decals.<br />
Depending on the angle and the lightning, you won't notice the defects, but if you want to see the defects, check out the picture below.<br />

Well - next time gotta take more care with that (honestly, even with mr. surfacer 1200 I didn't noticed the defects)<br />

Weathered my RX-79(G) Ground Gundam only by whashing it, drybrushing the weapons and thrusters, some additional dust on the feet and finally some soot below the thruster and knee vents. enjoy!<br />

You might notice a crack on the face mask - I was shocked to see that!<br />
besides that, my only complaints that I have - should have done a better job with masking the knee spikes and vent, but besides that, I'm totally satisfied with the work.Ghosty-chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16244540122224527644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5572060632079884397.post-12757439009093979002010-03-13T21:30:00.000+01:002010-03-13T21:30:20.758+01:00RX-79(G) painted......and again hated that the masking tape released itself on some locations<br />

For the pipes, the usual hole drilling and brassrod bending - nothing fency.<br />
For the waist, I clued about 10 layers of 0,3mm Plaplate together and clued this plaplate stack on the lower end of the torso. Drilled a hole for the peg and sanded everything to fit and look quiet natural, after being painted (I hope).<br />
Last but not least, I scribed some lines on the additional waist, which are continuing the original panel lines. - well, I find the the Gundam now to have a more sleek appearance.<br />

For the shoulders and chest, I added some plaplate. I applied them in a way in order to emphasize the asymmetric design of the chest and helmet of the RX-79(G)<br />
Also added some <s>brass</s> aluminium rod I had left, which has a slightly larger diameter. Placed above the chest vent, giving it a bit of steampunk in my opinion. <br />

Still need to sand some excess cement away - unless I can think of some other detail ups, this is the final version of my RX-79(G).<br />

Lust, but not least, a picture of the fully weaponized Gundam.<br />

I started working on the RX-79(G) Ground Type Production Gundam - I removed the seamlines and clued some hands, because they're really loose. Well, the trigger finger/hand is holding a HyperBazooka, which is NOT included with the HGUC RX-79(G) - it's included with the old RGM-79(G) Ground Type GM.<br />
<br />
I have to say, it fits almost perfectly.<br />
<br />
Well, besides seamlines and weapons, I added some brass rods to his head (additional antennae, and a pitot tube, so the Gundam Pilot knows, how fast he is jumping ^_^<br />

<br />
Another reason I'm currently working on the Gundam - I ordered mr. mark softer and setter to improve my decals, but unless they arrived, I don't want to continue/start working on models I have waterslide decals for ^_^'<br />
<br />
edit: Ok, I added a bit of pla plate by now :oGhosty-chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16244540122224527644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5572060632079884397.post-22521498378797143012010-03-03T15:42:00.005+01:002010-03-03T21:50:39.335+01:00Tanks moving out!Finished the weathering of my 2 M61A5.<br />
...and realised that I need a better brush.<br />
Instead of just painting the panel lines with enamel paint + lighter fluid, I 'washed' them.<br />
well, still looks good in my opinion.<br />
