HG00 Gundam Nadleeh

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:21:29 +0000

I manage to finish this side project of mine. Even though its a bit cold and rainy these last few weeks. My main concern was the possibility of "frosting" due to the weather, but it all turned out pretty good. You can call it an OOTB finish, I just did a few panel lining and details to it. So there enjoy! Comments and criticisms are always welcome.

Thanks!

Colour Cockpit Photos

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:21:37 +0000

Found this link. Has full colour photos of the cockpits of many modern aircraft such as the JAS-39 Gripen, Su-35 Flanker, F-117 Nighthawk etc. Useful for painting and detailing work for the AMS modeler.

And since we're on the topic of cockpits, here's my favourite site for the cockpits of US aircraft. Posted it before but here it is again for reference.

T-55 Main Battle Tank

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:05:52 +0000

Realizing that more work would have to be done to accurize my 1/72 AMX-30 to the -B1 variant and that it might not make it to the deadline, I decided to work on kitbashing my 1/72 Trumpeter Type 59 Main Battle Tank with a T-55 to come up with an accurate Iraqi T-55 that would represent the T-55s that the Coalition Forces encountered in OIF (Gulf War II)

The kit:

Working on the Running Gear/lower hull:

Attaching the Tank Tracks. I used CA glue to attach the tank tracks and 0.5mm steel wire to simulate track sag:

Also started building the turret and trying out the fit (dry fit):

1:1 Fabrique Nationale M16A4 Commando

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:43:02 +0000

Some of you know that besides being a plamo otaku, I'm also an airsoft freak.

After 6 years of tinkering with the looks, I think I'm set with this configuration. Until the next cool-looking accessory comes along of course Also after 6 years, this is no longer OOB. Out of the 80 or so parts, only the gears, bolt release (non-functioning), safety, trigger, trigger guard, magazine release, gearbox, charging handle, nozzle, gears, tappet plate, motor and pistol grip are original.

Internally, it has also been upgraded so instead of making a small dent on a coke can from 5 feet away, it'll easily go through and through. Might even be able to go through from top to bottom of a coke can. This ain't no Nerf blaster folks...

Probably Greek to most folks, but I just wanna list all the external modifications I have done. Going for a civilian practical shooter 'look' here:

* G&P KAC-style TTB muzzle brake
* King Arms 11.5inch outer barrel
* A&K front sight
* Just barrel mounted flashlight mount
* Surefire G2 Nitrolon with CREE 80 lumen LED bulb
* Magpul PTS MOE handguard
* G&P ladder rail covers
* Magpul PTS AFG
* King Arms gas tube
* King Arms delta ring
* G&P M16A4 metal receiver
* Dytac Aimpoint T1-style Red Dot Sight
* Dytac AD-style SOCOM QD Mount
* Magpul PTS EMAG
* Magpul PTS PMAG ranger floorplate
* G&P Troy-style flip-up rear sight
* G&G Side Receiver Sling Swivel
* Dboys buffer tube
* Element Magpul-style CTR stock

Putty Issues

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:24:20 +0000

Hi all, I've been reading through some of WIP threads and saw some of using putty. I have been using Tamiya epoxy putty, the one in orange and white colour. After i knead it into the desired shape and wait for it to cure, I seem to have problem using sandpaper to smoothen the surface area. What am I suppose to use to smoothen the surface? What colour does the putty suppose to turn into to know I have knead enough? And what putty would you all recommend to use?

Gemballa Mirage GT transkit for Tamiya's Carrera GT

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 04:13:19 +0000

Just recently I've purchase the Gemballa Mirage GT transkit from GeronimoWorks

I know that this is a very nice transkit, judging from what I've seen on internet images, no warp or shrinkage, minimum bubbles & flash, so I want to share with you guys what's inside & clearer picture of the resin parts

For those who do not know, this is a Porsche Carerra GT

and this is the Mirage GT tuned/modified by Gemballa

very aggressive!

This is the transkit's box, inside are filled up with foam to protect them

Inside you'll get resin parts, metal transfer, photo-etch parts, decal, metal tube, reflector sticker & instruction

Decal are printed by Cartograf

The resin parts

Close ups

I've measure the side parts, no shrinkage, and only test fitted the rear bumper, no warp and does fit with the chassis

most probably will start this project next year

BTW, is this the correct place for this thread? if not, mod please move it to the appropriate section, thanks

GP03s with Weapons System -Tial Type-

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:59:03 +0000

Been working on this since my GM Sniper II is 99% done... just waiting on the feet covers to arrive :D

Originally wanted to do a modified HGUC dendrobium but am not able to get a hold of one, so pulled out the 1/100 MG to satisfy the thirst.

Basic Idea is to create a weapons system similar to that of the 1/144 GFF (FIX) Figure except without the dendrobium gun and generator and with some of my own design/ideas mixed in...

Sample image of the 1/144 GFF/FIX GP03s w/ Weapons System

Current progress on the weapons MLRS pods (recasting them) but out of good resin so this is on hold while I do up the Stamen itself...
The size and how they will mount to the GP03 will be more similar to the MRS system of the HGUC GP02a...

The Stamen... I first began adding 1mm plapate strips to the center cockpit after blocking the hole on the top with a .5mm strip. The styling is loosely base off the older orange Anaheim Journal GP03D prototype which I love and will incoperate bits of it into this build...
]

The torso was beveled by sanding and I also laid out the rough shape of the shoulders again, based from the prototype's design...

While the cement dried I detailed up the torso, gathering ideas from Keita's EVO freedom (the dual vent deals/sensors) on the chest) and busied up the surface making it a bit less boring... the collar was also partly removed and rebuilt to add a more intersting shape and make it a bit taller as well.

The shoulder is pretty rough looking in the first pic and is refinned a bit more. The details on the shoulder vents in 0, so i cut out the vents and will add a small .05 strip inside there with option parts behind it. The surface details on the face of the shoulder are lacking but it will have a nice decal using up most of the space so it will be left alone...

Center attachment for the backpack is modifed and opened up. This creates a nicer line and allows me to detail the inside making it look streamline.

Arms getting detailed...

Details on the back of the body, the square shape on the peg will be removable and is sandwiched between the body and the backpack. It will be the attachment for the weapons system hopefully...

The coolest part about the gp03, the tailbinders... detailed, and a bit more details added making it look more like a booster.

Macross - Tactical Pod Glaug (with LED)

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:42:47 +0000

Finally digged this very OLD kit out of storeroom. For those of us who OLD enough to remember the original Macross (30+ years ago), this is one of the coolest "bad guys" in the show.

I actually tried to do some minor mods, and FIRST-time doing heavy weathering.

As the kit is very PLAIN, have to mod it, else will look very bad. The mods done:
- Extend ankle joints so that feet/let can tilt more (for open leg look)
- Mod the joints to the 2 "chïcken legs", so that legs can be spread apart, and in a V-shaped
- Mod the intake ducts on legs
- Mod Intake and exhaust of 2 side engines
- put aLOT of panels lines to the legs
- replace all the RED sensors
- Mod cockpit so that it is removable (taht took me a few nights of cutting....)
- Last but not least, added a small LED to the central "eye"

Overall, I am quite happy (althrough not perfect...). Comments welcome (especially the mods and weathering).

The kits started like this:

Thanks for viewing...
