| Here's a rough pictorial showing some of the steps I took in making this. Only took pictures of only certain phase though, but anyway. | |
 |
This show all the basic pieces after being baked. The shell has gone through some cosmetical slap of junk parts, and texturing already. |
 |
The head (if you can call it that) with simple panel lines and some "facial" features to help accentuate the face area. I originally use a simple big ball joint to hold it with the main body, but later alter it with double ball joint to add some mobility, when he was casted in a stop-motion shoot. |
 |
I had to label each leg as not to confuse one with the others. The ones for the front have 3 toes, while the hind legs have 2. Toes are joined with using amature wire. A quick and dirty way of articulating parts. As with the head, I used bal joint to attach them, but also changed into double ball later. |
 |
The housing slot for engine is carved with chisel. I had to destroy an old 1/24 car kit I built some 15 years ago to salvage this engine. (T_T). Other stuff includes the 4 minus molds on top, a couple of radome-like device on the front and some more panel lining to organize them all together. Oh oh, the gray stuff is, of course, the good ol' Tamiya Putty. |
 |
Looks decent enough after priming. I went though a few rubs of fine gritted sand paper, and it's ready to be painted. |
 |
And then a few hours later, he's done.
