Hey all, here some tests for turrets.
I'd like more the upper pics solutions but If any rocket turret bite comes in your mind feel free to post, i still need inspiration or maybe some bites to modify

Hey folks i'm back with a new episode of my diary, posted also above with other episodes.

- Completing legs magnetization
- Making of a scratch built rocket turret, shields and details.
- Making of antenna with wires and needles
- Deatailing with metallic net
- Creating a new head with riptides parts
- Dry assembly of the upper body

below some pics i made during the assembly.
I liked the idea of making a kind of Zaku forebear for gorund purpses.
There is still a lot of work to do, i hope to post soon some update even if chemo
and model making aren't always good friends.
On next step will try to build an openable chest and some inner gears and stuff and completing the torso details.
Then will move to legs that actually have become too thin for a muscle mech like the one i have in mind.
Thats all folks, hope you enjoy the video.

hey all,
I'm back with some pics. Can't always show all the footage in my videos or they would be terribly boring
but sometimes to make a short and dinamic video i can loose some good takes showing intersting work.

So, just beacuse i'm carzy, at this stage of the work I decided to build an inner frame of the mecha,
here some pics of the early stages. I wish this idea would came into my mind before i had assembled
the main body, cause wasn't an easy task to determine the correct size of inner pieces from the outside.
Anyway finally i made it up with some tricks that I will show you in my next video. Here the cockpit chassis
at his early stages and some tests to let it slide inside the chest of the mecha.









At this point i need a pilot to check the size i have left to detail the inside of the cockpit.
So first of all i need a seated pilot and because there is no one around (looks like Bandai
didn't produced seated pilots lol..) i gotta build it sticking the legs of a figure to another one.
This will cost me two figures but the little Frankenstain looks nice tho... Will try to use the
other cutted figure somwhere else.. nothing goes to the trash can here
Some putty covered the missing parts you may notice and solded the legs nicely after some
plastic glue.












that is all for now, the next video will be out soon so stay in touch.
Thanks for watching and feel free to leave a comment.
