ok... my turn to show what i've been doing!
this is a pretty old kit that i have... might as well
do it now OOB since ver 2 will be out soon.
the pics will show the parts that have been worked
on... mostly it is the crazy seamlines, mold lines, sink
marks... the works. you name it this kit's got it.

The kit will be done in a clean look concept... maybe
like fix style. with some decals and stencils to give a
custom look. was thinking of going for a damaged zaku
or at least one which has seen some battle but, oredy
have another one planned for that style. enjoy the pics guys!

Here's the zaku all snapped and ready to go! at least
he looks fierce in this pic.

Marvellous seamline right through the arms and (not shown)shoulders
[Image: P2110130.jpg]

Nice generous amount with the thigh, leg, and feet as well.. Em112

I drill the female ports and trimmed the male pins on all my kits so as
to ease test fitting and also when applying cement as you will see later
[Image: P2110135.jpg]

Good thing to remember when using extra thin is to leave a very very
small/fine gap to let it run through. Too big and it wont move, too small
well it won't get in through the groove.

Squeeze em!! Handy to have some clips around to hold parts together
while the cement dries, which could take from a few hours up to a day.
Unlike superglue cement jointed parts will not crack or split when pressured but not as quick drying. You'll need pretty strong clips as well to hold em together cos they might split a little and you'll end up with a cemented part with a hairline down the middle. wasted effort.
thats why i loosen them a little to ease the squeezing process.

another flaw in plastic kits... the sinkhole or whatever you want
to call it... ever present even in the best kits. not too obvious for some
ppl but to nitpickers... it'll show up after painting. only way is to sand
your way down or apply a thin layer of putty/surfacer to level the area.

Gambateh!

Didnt know of using clips to squeeze out the excess cement, that was a brilliant idea. Smiles9wc

Learnt something new today again.

Thanks for showing Em58

I'd be more likely to use clips to clamp the pieces while they dry rather than squeeze the excess glue out.......

or u can use these clips/clamps

BAN U, ai mai? Em120

can lah boss.... the first one still in progress haha!!
no need to ban kua... so selius meh?? heehee...

current update....
here the sides have been shaved down for dunno wat
reason other than esthetics... looks a bit better no?
[Image: P2190174.jpg]

same here... armor has been trimmed at the edges for
a more realistic scale...
[Image: P2190173.jpg]

seamlines have been covered and checked with surfacer
here you would need to rescribe the panel line
[Image: P2190172.jpg]

again panel lines need to be rescribed after joining and
puttying.
[Image: P2190170.jpg]

fully surfaced and ready for painting!!
[Image: P2190176.jpg]

this part is the masking area which could be avoided
by modding the head... didn't do it because wanted to
keep this as simple as OOB would allow it... also because
i'm lazy... clapping
[Image: P2200179.jpg]

as forest gump would say..."it happens..."
the peg broke i'm not sure why but needs to be
fixed thats all i know...
[Image: P2220180.jpg]

heres what the original one looks like... managed to
rectify this with cement, luckily this part is made of
PS... not the soft plastic so it joined pretty strong.
[Image: P2220181.jpg]

one picture after the basic painting... you'll see i missed
out the white stripes on the green part crybaby:-
had to redo that part because i was over eager to paint him..
[Image: P2230183.jpg]

painting and some decaling done.... i think the color is a little
bright, will try to deepen it later with a light coat of smoke..
or clear with a few drops of black...
[Image: P2240188.jpg]
