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! :)

MG Blitz Gundam Ver. Amuro

Hello! My long gunpla break is over. And yes, finally done working with this guy! This kit also marks my return in Gunpla after going on a hiatus for almost a year and a half (moved to playing airsoft) . Photo(s) we're taken by " Modus " (of ModPink Design Studios), a very close friend of mine (He's like my brother from another mother hehe). Everything we're hand-painted using Tamiya Acrylics. And I swear, this will also be the last time I'll handpaint using Tamiya paints. I will be switching over to either Citadel and/or Vallejo paints. Tamiya paints gave me a headache. Seriously, I have to strip and paint most of the parts OVER AND OVER AGAIN just to make it right. Weathered the kit because I plan on making or putting it on a diorama. Not sure when, but you bet I'll work on it after my next build. Anyway, I now present to you... My MG Blitz Ver. Amuro! Thanks for viewing~ Still need to work on my h...

WIP: Operation AMRe: MG ARF 05

Hi guys! Been busy fixing stuffs on our newly opened shop! anyway, I did some updates on the project. Started working on the MG 00Q I got a month ago. Yep! MG 00Q, don't get confused because the MG 00Q is actually part of the project :D..so here's what I did: The idea is to make the 00Q heavily damaged. Did initial damages on the cockpit, and checked if the knife of my ARF will fit in. Then I used a pentel pen to mark which and where will the damage be placed :D And here's the final result(s): Will still add damages on the head though :)..and will work on some internal details to make it more...realistic(?) lol..anyway, that's it for this update! till then! :D
