WIP: Operation AMRe: MG ARF Update #4

Hi guys! Finally! an update for this guy :). Been very busy on some school related stuffs like working on our Graduation Multimedia Presentation during our Graduation Rites, and I'm also in charge on our Digital Annual/Year Book of our batch, so Mr. Pink is super busy atm! Since our Team is on a break as we speak, I decided to work on my Astray. So, here's what I did this afternoon after eating lunch and the past few days :).

First of, I used the Kotobukiya Piston's I ordered last week from Sir Migs/M1gs to somehow add detail(s) on the waist part of my ARF.

I still plan on adding more details to it. That's it for now.

Then after attaching the upper body on the waist, I noticed that the left leg is a bit wiggling for some reason. Until I checked it out and I found a broken peg :O

Well, luckily I remembered that we had a 'how-to-fix-a-broken-peg' topic before on our Facebook Group. So I gathered up all the materials that I'll be needing on repairing the broken peg :).

A cement, a superglue, and a cotton. Yep, a piece of COTTON! :)

First, I cemented the broken peg/part.

Sanded it down after letting it cure.

Covered the whole peg with superglue and applied the COTTON!!! XD

That's how I did it, that's how Stephen PRO does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far XD. Credits goes to "Stephen/PAPA P" XD.

After fixing the broken peg, I started cleaning the left arm from nubs. As I'm planning on using the left arm as a testbed for the paint that I'll be using for the whole frame.

Painted it afterwards :)

That's it for now! Will now try to work on the modifications on the legs if my schedule permits me to :). 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~
