Custom Zeon Respirator and updates on my work area

Today i bought a couple of new tools for my work area and decided to personalize my respirator and my tool tray. I also created my own spraying booth made of sheet of plastics. I designed my Tool tray based on the current tools that i always use. Made it using HIPS (High Impact Sheets) which is very cheap compare to Tamiya Plastic Beams. I putted some Hooks that holds my Pliers and Side Cutters. I'm not sure if i have mentioned this but i also bought another table :D (I got four tables now in my work area). I'm currently getting addicted pimping my work area rather than my kits. I also move the computer table to the other side of the room.

New tools:
Decal tray
Table Vise Clamp
Tube cutter
Clear Visor
Personalize Respirator
Personalize Tool Tray

00 Uniqx Commision WIP

This will be my commission build for a friend, He is also a modeler and joining BMKWC. It seems he really like the concept of his previous entry and this time he want's me to build it. The main idea is combining Gundam Unicorn and Gundam 00 Quanta. below are the photos of his previous entry by combining, Unicorn, GNX, Exia, and Double 00 Gundam. The concept is great but there are some flaws on the finish build, probably that's why he would need my help on this.

One thing i can say about the MG 00Q. GET IT! the kit have no seamlines at all! What a great job bandai! i was able to dismantle the parts of the 00Q even without using a knife or looking in the manual. Preparing the parts for removing nub marks and painting.

before i continue on this WIP i will finish my SD Knight gundam first. So stay tune! this will be a fast one.

SD Knight Gundam - WIP II

don't know how to start this second WIP of my SD knight, i'll keep it brief and short.

the first part of this WIP i extended the legs/foot to change proportions, and i feel the proportion is still not enough and i need more articulations. XD (silly hands)
Photobucket

i saw the part in two using a micro-saw and put a PC part in foot and a ball joint in the legs
PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

i modified the skirt armor as well

This kit is originally a SD valla knight gundam and includes the normal knight gundam version. This kit includes the shield of the knight gundam but without a holding part and a holster for the sword. I modified the shield so that i can use it.

current proportion

and the proportion is not enough, so i decided to add articulation on the body.

i cut the body in two (quite difficult because this kit is small unlike the new SD's today)
Photobucket

i'll be using this ball like parts from an old toy i had.
Photobucket

i cut the balls on the side and trim it to fit in to the lower part of the body

and put the other ball joint on the upper body

current proportion now and the possibilities of the articulation done.
