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)


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


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)


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


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.


here is the proportion - transformation

SD Knight Gundam - WIP

Here is another quick project from me, At first i really have no plans posting a WIP but i think i should do because the process is really simple yet very effective in my opinion. So I hope you'll enjoy this wip and learn something new. :)

Here is my new project SD Knight Gundam. as always i worked again on a kit that nobody care to mods or to built XD. So i hope i'll be able to give this little guy some respect.


one of my concern on this kit are the arms, they are really small and no articulation at all. It looks like some free toy from a snack or a candy. So first thing to do is add some articulation

i cut the arms in two pieces separating the upper shoulder and arms.


i cut the inner side of the arm to serve as a space for the PC part that i will use.


now this PC part we often disregard and apparently only being used in necks, what i did is cut both male pegs at the bottom and cut a hole on the side part This is where the peg of the arm will slide through.



now to show how it will work, just put the pieces together



as you can see the ball part of the PC part serve as a connecter to the upper shoulder and fits exactly on it.

On the body i replace the orignal PC part for the legs with a longer one just like the one below

it adds a little length and to add more length on the lower part of the kit. i added some parts to create a simple legs structure compose of (Balloon sticks, PC part that will fit inside and a 3mm round plastic beam from tamiya)


and here is the result


proportion wise it looks better, arms can now move and show some action pose. Hope you learn something new on this.

currently i can't continue on this kit for now because my AB's needle is broken T_T. need to replace the part first

Here is my entry on the previous Mechapinoy F144 contest.

First i plan to do a simple OOTB build but it seems my hands is very itchy to do mods. I only got three days to finish this so keep the mods to minimal like added panel lines on the body, added koto's msg to replace the eye and add some tamiya bearings to the thrusters.

This is also part 1 of my next diorama operation capture jaburo. I'm still undecided which kit should i do next the gogg or acguy? Well keep visiting this site so that you won't miss what kit will be next :).

Mechapinoy F144 and IPMS

Here are the result of the Mechapinoy F144 this year.

Mechapinoy F144 is being held every year and one of the most awaited in house contest of Mechapinoy. You consider it a simple competition but a very tough one because of the very strict judjing about the basics in modelling including removal of seamlines, paint finish, and even weathering. So i'm quite proud on my finished entry on this. It's the first time i've done pre-shading and first time i like my paint finish hahaha. Below are the results and the photos of the other entries and the IPMS event are on a slideshow below this post. Congratulations on all the winners and to all who were able to submit and compete on this yearly event!
