PLAMO: Re-WiredWolf - Plastic Modelling, Share & Learn

Hi guys! Just want to share my current project. This time its an Aura batler HG kit, got tired of the usual gundams. hehehehe. Im quite excited with this build since its only a fun build and I'll have the chance to play around with the painting and try and learn some different stuffs or techniques I saw from videos and mags. My only gripe with this kit are the joints, unlike gundams they are made of a brittle plastic material (pardom me I really dont know what its called), that tends to break or loose easily. Right now im thinking just to fixed pose it.


I think Im going for this simple pose.

i bought a couple of dunbine kits recently. neva tot i'll see a WIP of it here. this might b gd reference

knight3k: thanks bro! wtched the link and it was very informative. I love the toothbrush technique!

UPDATE:



Decided to fix the joints (crotch and thigh area) since its very weak. I replaced it with Kotobukiya option parts.


saw, drill and attach! new joints!


attached the sockets using epoxy. will cover it with epoxy putty when it cures.

Update:


Filled the legs with epoxy putty to secure the internal parts and to make it a little heavy so it can stand easily even with a heavy back.


Added texture to the claws, thighs and armors of the kit. (I got it from Maestro's tutorial)

Keeping a close watch on this thread!!!

thanks cyberwill75! :D

A little update:


filled the large gaps with SGT.


painted the insides of the wings before sealing, i'll just mask then later.

UPDATE:


Surfacer works and refining the weapons a bit.



Well, I really dont like the rubber parts of this kit. Since Im going for a fixed pose I'll just cover/replaced it with epoxy putty.


Here's the result! I still retained the bio-mechanical look of it.

UPDATE:


More texturing on the wings/backpack(?). I just used Mr. Surfacer 500. Next... priming!
