Trying my hand at an old OC mecha from my early Gundam Wing fanboy years. Most of the design so far is made from modified reverse-engineered PS2 Tallgeese and Victory Gundam game models. After doing organic figure designs all these years I’m now finding out that geometric designs are kinda fun and (sometimes) quicker. Also, this thing is inadvertently gonna be kinda big compared to the GW 1/100th kits out there, as I didn’t plan out a proper scaling before making the legs. Oh well, it’s from a horrible edgy fanfic written when I was 15, no sense worrying about ‘accuracy.’
>>11889791That does look like it's 80% legs....
>>11853293Where do you get stockings like that from?
Any good place for transformers customs
Soon...Just have to spray a few more coats on his metal arm which is drying outside, and for the Cobra symbol decals to come in. Looking at the picture I could work on making his gardening glove less sloppy
Also trying to color match this this GI Joe neck for this fish monster face using Gundam Markers.This will either be really cool or retarded
Im also more or less done with the mutated arm guy who has no lore and is not a OC and isnt anything at all outside a fun art project and someone to fill out Crystal Balls fraction.Paint just wont stick to the feet well though. But I'll also put a Cobra fracture sticker on him... somewhere... and maybe give him a shotgun to explain why his vest has shells
Also bought this blank body for something else but I had this extra head so its a shame the skin colors don't match so I could have a Classifed Mr T. Don't have a brown light enough either (I could buy it I guess but I was gonna use this body to make another monster guy anyway) to go over the figures skin
>>11890135They had a retro Recondo at DD's or Ross today, that must have been mistagged because it was $5.99 so I grabbed while I was looking for other fodder part. I don't even have any interest in military displays but those make great fodder and getting them like this, retail, new, is just so much easier than trying to get knock-offs from Ali or some other Chinese e-commerce site.>>11890124With the markers I have bought (which are discount KO gundam) but either alcohol or metallic, and I test them on random plastic, especially when I am trying to layer colors.
>>11890088NTA but I would assume you could find Barbie (or similar) soft goods. Before I found some cheap Marvel Legends soft goods lab coats on line (which all absurdly sell for the price of a fodder body), someone suggested a Barbie lab coat, which was only $3 on ebay.
