WIP Nu Gundoom - Part 3

Huaaaaaa.. Easter holiday finish already and I haven't finish my kit.. ToT Toally out of my planning to finish this kit.. Anyway, I didn't do any paint job because I couldn't find sutitable time for me to do the paint job.. Paint job will take at least a day I reckon (including setting up the table etc and cleaning the stuff >.<).. So instead of waiting to find a good timing for painting, yesterday night I build the feet.. The feet is preety good in term of detail, but the articulation is very limited I can say.. Don't know what to talk here, solet the pictures do the talking.. :P

LEGS

Front look of the feet.. Preety masculin I can say..

Filling the seamline with putties and cement.

DETAILS

The details on the hip joint. Will detail it with gold and silver paint later on..

Nice panel lining and detail on the feet armors..

Even they put a pair of piston on the joint.. Any suggestion what colour should I use??

ARTICULATION and OVERALL WITH THE BODY

The top joint can move preety good but the lower joint doesn't do much..The ball joint on the feet is preety good to support the legs mobility..

The picture from the front..

Front View.

 

Side View.

Rear view.

Height comparison with HG RX 78-2 Gundam G 30th version.. You can feel it how tall this kit is..

Overall, I really pleased with this kit. Altought the joint is not able to do acrobatic pose, and  big seamlines that pushed me to use putty instead of cement, the design and proportion of the leg and panel lining are awesome. It took me around 6 hours to do all this. Sorry some of the pictures are not well focused, because I took it around 1 AM last night.. Hope you guys enjoy it and comments are more than welcome.. ^^

WIP Nu Gundoom - Part 2

I know the easter holiday is almost finish, yet I haven't done much with my Nu gundam.. I think it's because I am playing with my game too much >.<. I am planning (again :P) to build this kit in 4 stages.

1. build and paint the head,body, and crotch areas.
2. build and paint the legs
3. build and paint the hands
4. build and pant the accessories

I am going to do it like this because I am afraid that I might loss the parts since the parts are a lot (14 runners for HG?!?!?!). So, atm I am at 50% of the first stage and this is what I have done so far.

 

 Finish cutting, sanding the whole parts for stage 1.

BODY

 

Body part from the front.

Shot from 3d angle.

 

 Another shot from top.

 

Back shot of the body.

 

Side view with backpack attached.

 Backpack shot.

HEAD

 

From the front, it's simillar with normal HGUC Nu Gundam, but..

 The detail from the back is just AWESOME.

SKIRT ARMORS

 

Filling the front and side skirts with epoxy putty and back skirts using 0.3mm pla plate. After that tried to make panel lining. (1st attempt to make panel lining)

Overall body pictures with skirts attached.

.Nice detail at the crotch piece. Will detail it later with some gold and silver paint.

Some parts that I didn't assamble during the WIP because they are to small and I am afraid to break it. >.<

So this is what I have done so far. Waiting for the rain to stop before I can start painting it (It has been raining for almost a week in Sydney ToT). So stay tune with this WIP and I will update this blog when I finish with painting the kit. ^^
