SHITS HAPPEN!: Lost an important part to the FATUM Unit of my IJ!

As I finished sanding the last few parts of the FATUM/Backpack of my IJ this afternoon, I noticed that I am missing something...below is a scan of a manual from DALONG.NET, I encircled the part that is missing..

I was about to panic because I wanted to finished working on the backpack before the year ends. BUT! Instead of panicking at my room like hell, I decided to think of a way to somehow IMPROVISE the missing part. I then decided to use an old/unused PC/Polycap from my SF kit..and here it is..

I then cut the upper part using my hobby knife, and shaved it to fit in the wings at the backpack, glued it afterwards using a super glue (Mighty Bond)..

Test fitted it, and it perfectly fits! yay! :3

Lesson learned! If you happen to lost a part on your kit, don't panic yet, instead..think of a way on how to somehow "improvise" that missing part! ;)..till then! :)

What's Inside The Box: HG Shaldoll

Mr. Pink tried using 'Future' Pledge :D

I was looking for a cheap alternative for gloss topcoat to do my panel wash on my IJ since Bosny's Clear Gloss is too thick for me, and remembered that I saw on sir DC23's blog that he uses this Future Pledge to do the job, also, I asked sir T.V.A. *The Virgin Angel* with regards to using Pledge/Future for topcoating before panel wash..and I bought one right away XD..anyway, here are the photos of what I did on some scraps XD.. What I did was painted the part chrome and then, applied Future/Pledge on it.. Verdict: Seriously, it's so EASY to use. You don't have to do something like mix it with other stuffs before applying on the kit. You don't have to even worry about brush marks/strokes since it's self leveling. And it's shiny! XD So, if you guys are looking for a cheap alternative for your gloss coat, I highly recommend this one XD.. Till then! :D

HG Shaldoll Ver. Odium WIP #01

Did something to my HG Shaldoll :D (This is btw, our Brando Bell Group Build) First of, this is what I plan on doing on it's backpack. Next, I did some cutting on the backpack in order for me to attach the thing that will hold the TA's boosters. Then I trimmed down the part that will hold the Tactical Arm's boosters, so it can fit in. I then attached the boosters on the backpack of the Shaldoll. Next is, I worked on the head. The eye lens for me is too big, so I decided to make it a bit smaller somehow :). Using a .5mm HIPS (High Impact Plastic Sheets) I did this. Sanded the putty I applied, and primed it to see if there are still something to work on. Still needs a lot of work on the head though haha :)). Removed the design on the body, and replaced it with a koto part. And oh! Look! It can transform now! haha! I also added wings on the shoulder armor, still working on it. Till next update~
