WIP Bearguy Update PT02 (2weeks update)

FINALLY! After sanding for a couple of hours, I DID IT! lol..

Ayt! To clear things up on what happen on this kit, I'll give you guys a breakdown..

If you remember, I applied 2layers of .5mm HIPS(High Impact Plastic Sheets/Polystyrene) on the whole rail system of the 'mono-eye' of the bearguy to somehow cover it up. Unfortunately, after RE-APPLYING for almost 12 times, the said rail system is still visible. SO! I seek guidance from MP (MechaPinoy) and of course, at MAC (Mech Arts Community). And so, they pointed out my mistake. That I should use a 'Epoxy Putty' to fill up a large gap instead of using a 'Basic Putty', since when a Basic Putty cures it shrinks thus making the rail system of the bearguy visible no matter how many times I tried to re-apply/re-putty it lol..

Then! since there are no hobby shops nearby my place, I did ask them if there is an alternative for it that I can get on a Hardware/DIY Shop! Lucky me! there is an alternative for a hobby grade Epoxy Putty, which is.....a Pioneer's Epoxy Putty (Aqua/Wood/Metal). Went to the nearest DIY shop here at my place, and grab one of the Aqua type :)..

And so...here it is!..

First thing I did was remove the 'Basic Putty' in the head.

Then, sanded it down and applied the Pioneer's Epoxy Putty (Aqua Type)~

I know! I applied TOO MUCH putty lol..I let it cure for a day, and trimmed it down using my good old Hobby Knife, then sanded it down! LIKE A BOSS! XD

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! XD

I also did some seamline removal on some of the Bearguy's parts :D..

Will prime these parts this morning! Till then! XD

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~
