1/60 PG Strike Gundam Head [Anime Version]
Messing around board last week and I decided to work on a random kit. The subject is making the 1/60 Perfect Grade Strike Gundam that has the evolved styling look more like the anime design it had well, in the anime. To do this I would be using the 1/60 HG Strike Gundam. Starting with the HG head I quickly gutted the inside removing everything (pegs, slots, holes) and removed a lot of the thickness from the inside the heads outer wall, this all was done with the goal of fitting the PG Strike gundam’s inner head frame and LED unit inside it. I also took the time to carve out the front head vents so that I could let the PG’s vulcan guns show through. I utilized the PG eyes and face as well. Currently in the pictures above I’m using the HG strikes V-fin. I may keep it after slimming it down or I may just use part of the PG’s V-fin. After getting everything snug I ran across a simple problem, The seam line. In order to access the LED switch and batter you have to pull my modified head apart. The solution I figured was to do a stylize removable back section of the head, I did just that and cut out an area between the vents. Now I can remove the seam line and still access the LED switch. I later added some panel lines to break up the large panels. Above you can see the Anime Strike’s head on my old PG Rouge’s body.
More progress on the GP03s+Weapons System
Moving slowly. Life crashed again so been slow. Last night I packed up a lot of kits i didn’t think I get to and put them back into storage to sit only keeping the few I plan to do right now/next with me. Sad but, there taking up space.
Moving along the GP03s has well… I forgot to update this post but, in short it has come a LOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG way since the last post on it. The Stamen itself is pretty much done… Just trying to work out the last few details. The weapons system pretty much became scratch-building the entire UC0099 Anahem Journal version of the Dendrobium. About 1/3rd the way done with it. I ran out of the gray I mixed up and have no clue how I mixed it as I’ve been using it since March or whenever I started on the Shining Gundam… I don’t want to buy enough paints to make the next batch right now, so just taking everything as far as I can without it.
1/60 PG Strike Rouge
Pretty much OOB, had to fix the torso joint (just epoxied in a koto ball-joint) since it was broken upon purchase, slight color change to get rid or the weak pink look and some custom decals I designed based off the 1/144 Comic Region figure’s… I originally planned to pair this with the 1/60 G-system IWSP pack… but after ordering and receiving the kit I sent it back as the cast itself was horrifying. Currently waiting for them to restock the IWSP so I can try again…
