been a while since my last post. to be true, i have no idea what to post here, good thing i still got this. and yeah, you can say this post is severely posted late
screw that, it is an obligatory for me to post this up. my first dio anyway
and so, behold The TrailBlazer
(really sorry for this gallery, kinda rushed on it,so yea, not so nice looking background ^^;;)
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.
well, yeah, reposting something from previous Jinx WIP, only that i include this with a video and wanna make a more detailed post on it
basically, design and construction of HG GN-X is somehow different than a regular Gundam Type, mainly due to its unique chin. when i first acquire this kit, i do wondered for a couple of times to figure out any mod so that seamlines on the head can be sealed and the face can be painted easier. good thing i hit it in the first shot :D
first of all, parts layout
the GN-X is the modded one while GN-XIII is the will-be-modded one XD
first cut. the 2 pegs near the chin part. dont need them, as they are the main hindrance for the reinsertion. cut them away
next, the horizontal bar at the back of the face plate. dont really need it, so cut it off BUT retain the vertical bar. it is okay if you want to remove the pegs completely, but i prefer to retain the vertical bar so that the face is more secured later
how it looks when it is cut. and view this video on how the reinsertion should be (sorry if it's a bit blur ^^;;)
as you can see, the forehead orb helps to secure the face too, and so, seam lines on the head, dealt :D
