Your welcome, and looking to see what will be your concept on 1/100 IJ

[kaix]

qb bro, nice! you're gonna do a custom weapon for your 00? what's your choice? maybe we can help each other out. i'm gonna be using this one as reference



as for the IJ, i don't think im ready yet for mg. incoming xmas + too many kids = dead pocket hahahah.

rainero bro, i still need candidate two and, or maybe three. you remember what i said last time? i really like the legs! ;D

[qb]

Not sure yet but I do like the Ax idea. I think a lochaber ax woud suit 00 really well... ;D

[raps]

Good luck, so it will like a sniper rifle?

[kaix]

qb bro, indeed! come to think of it, a gundam wielding an axe is rare no? i am expecting a looong chat when we meet friday for the astrays hahah

raps bro, i'd use the gun as reference for scratchbuilding a... i dunno maybe a shotgun or something hahahah. for a melee weapon, i hope i can replicate the axe and make it double-sided

[Lotur]

very nice updates pre! im impressed with how you dedicate yourself to your wip, with the photos it seems as if i was there viewing the progress myself!

id love the axe weapon pre as a choice like qb, looks a lot like an unorthodox long rifle, less conventional and more originality points

[kaix]

General Lotur ty for looking out bro! hoping to reach that scratchbuild stage after modding the thigh, knee and ankle articulation ;D

[kaix]

update:
Lower Body Mods


thigh part split in two. placed a pc socket on upper part, locked in place with epoxy clay, then a rod on the bottom part.




sanding madness to get the edges off and make a round effect.



for the "realistic" knee bend, i started cutting plaplates.


exact size to fit on the back of the knee armor.

[蠍座 shinn]

[kaix]

some updates:
FEET BEND MODS


the original strutcure. this gundam won't be transforming to ma mode, it would possibly be more melee based because of the weapons in line with it so i don't need this one. instead will go for an mg-like feet that will bend upwards


gonna reverse the structure. the red mark is to be cut off.


when flipped upwards, the upper armor part is static and in a fixed position, making the feet go on a default position before. i sawed off some of it for the feet to bend up.


after some test fitting, i find the upper armor still slightly blocking the upward bend. so i sawed it all away.


the result


parts comparison.
left modded, right default.

[kaix]

BONUS SHOTS!
this pose looks so real





gonna do left part next ;D
