TTB WIP 2

Project TrailBlazer 2nd Update =D

covering my works throughout the week, so there's quite some stuff this time ^^

first of all

OOQ COMPLETED (old news already ^^;;;)

actually painting starts before Rezel, but i put Rezel into priority that time. spent 2 nights painting this, and another morning for lining, decals and topcoat.

now, the main stuff here. the dio itself.



OK, i lied. have some photos of OOQ first XD

face closeup. you might think this time the paintjob is smooth, well, yes, but some parts, they aren't that smooth. the head isn't glossy enough, so the lining went quite messy there.. masking for the head went nicely, and i love my 0.15mm saw, that thing is a gem to deal with OOQ's head seam =D

ok, he's gonna cut you head off XD

gun mode looks better, with the sword held that way =D

ok, the dio, seriously XD

MDF and acrylic rods =D

dont want a large dio, so just 30cm X 30cm.

cut that off~~


now, for the placement of the stuff. mark the hole.

drilled the hole

mount the rods on.

OOQ at his position ^^


next, ELS

added another strip of pla plate to increase the volume of the arms. later, i cut the arm half as it is a bit too large for the dio, so this ELS might be a bit of my own design ^^;;;

first part of puttying. yes, epoxy putty, this thing is going to be very heavy ^^;;; btw, for that amount, it takes half a pack of Bondite epoxy putty, which is my last supply of putty.

so, resupply then

*puts on sunglasses* YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

and yeah, a bit of stuff in using putty ^^

cut both resin and hardener equally

roll them into strips and roll them together

and knead like hell until you get this. sometimes people use a bit of water to make putty more soft during kneading, but i didnt do so as water might make it a bit messy, so i only use water to smoothen up the surface.

and you can do this. knead it into this kind of sheet of 2mm think. see how soft it is, so that it conforms with my palm :D


bam. looks like need a lot of clean up and sanding after this

as for the arm, i need to make air bags so that the putty will be less compact, reducing putty consumption and make it lighter.

so knead it into this. this is remarkably soft

put it on the arm

and cover it all.

a bit on Jinx

mark it, and drill it forgot to snap photos of hollow'd Jinx XD

diorama setup.





so, it left only to paint Jinx, work a bit more on ELS and the asteroid surface itself. dunno if wanna make small ELS or not. depending on time, for that. i dont use GNSV Buster configuration, as it is a bit too heavy for my OOQ, so yeaa

That's all for now !
