I found some things that looked promising and proceeded to.. well. see for yourself.
In order to bring my idea to fruition I had to mutilate some pieces. Such as the torso part of the frame.
Now you see it...
I then grabbed my trusty pin-vise and completed the next step.
This now allows the other spring I purchased to slide through.
And those pieces I cut off at the beginning of this thread? They form the 'belt loops.'
I was commenting to a fellow gunplar the other day how I am now at the point where I am second guessing myself and wondering if I should stop now and quit while I am ahead. His reply was very succinct: "You've gone this far. You might as well go all out."
And he was right.
So I got the shoulders and glued some seam lines.
Then I grabbed the plastic again.
And also glued the seam lines on the back of the arm part of the frame.(You can see in this picture that I forgot to put the poly-cap back in before I glued it together. Oops!)
Took him to work this morning for a final test-build shot before I start the painting. Pretty much any white you see in the shot is a modification I have done.
Now that I look at it. I did a lot of stuff! Let's hope the final result is worth it.
AWESOME. That waist mod made ALL the difference.
ReplyDeleteDon't second guess yourself mate. Mistakes can be rectified with a bit of hard work and are good for the learning process, but you will never know if you never try. =)
You certainly is doing a lot for this kit, and it is really paying off. I can foresee your mods making the musha mk-II much more samurai than it already is. I hope to see this in person when I meet up with you later. Pls finish it before hand. =)
