Shawn M Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Managed to get the fuse closed up, wings and tail on and polish out the inside of the canopy to make it MUCH more clear. I've only had to use the smallest dabs of filler on this kit, Im quite impressed. On sunday I entered a 3 hour build challenge at a locak Anime store to build and finish then submit for judging a Gundam Barbatos kit. It was enlightening,fun, different and yet had some total BS factors to it lol I was not able to complete my entirely articulated figure model in the 3 hour time span Im a slow builder, whatta surprise lol! Now, the contest judging was..well...different. Its allowed to bring items from home for use in the judging, which means people brought dioramas, other built gunpla's etc. It also appears that you dont have to build your whole kit if you do this and just use some bits n bobs... I dont really see how this is applicable when you're all supposed to build the same thing, but to each their own. Good experience, wont do it again in this format though.

Shawn M Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 I actually "finished" the Kate last night, in quotes as I decided NOT to paint it and leave it in raw plastic minus the cockpit and engine. I've started my "vanship" kit that Im turning into a racer, which will be done up in a paint scheme like an old Bugatti Grand Prix car (blue with metal accents) mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 pics, just for you my friend Shaka Kate (naked!) Shaka HI, mpk and mywifehatesmodels 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 then I started on Tatiana's Vanship from the anime series "Last Exile". My plan is to bash it a bit into a Bugatt Grand Prix car inspired racer. I took the front cockpit and moved the controls to the rear, then added gizmology to the front pit. then I shaved off the portals and hand/foot holds on the "fuse". There was also an amazingly fine mold seam right between the louvers that needed to be carefully removed. mpk and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radders Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I need a 'NON-LSP thread' as I have tonnes on the go but I don't want to steal your idea! Great thread though mpk and Shawn M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Thanks Radders! I was able to get a lot of sub assembly done on the Vanship this weekend and have completed the reshaping I wanted to do on the fuse. Im loaded down with band practices this week, but will try to steal some time to get pics to keep Shaka happy mpk, Radders and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
