MSA-0011[BST] Gundam WIP2

This update is a long over due one I suppose, but you will have to forgive me as I have been side tracked by Space Marines and the like for a few months now. So I give you WIP 2 for my Resin Booster Gundam. A few pictures from the work I had already completed so you can remember what I had done. I have not completed any of the final detail work, still working out the pinning and all that. See below and enjoy.
Below: The intention of this photo is to show you the fill in work I had to do so far on the shoulder.



To get the head to sit right, I took some Pla-plate and stacked and cut then. I added in some putty to clean up the lines and gaps, I still need to sand it all smooth though.
Beyond checking out my use of sticky tack to keep pieces in place, you can also see where I had to add pal-plates to the chest to fill in gaps.
This is one of the upper booster units completely pinned, just need to do some scribe work to it.

Here is something I am still debating. The gap that is created, I am not sure it I like it or not. If I have to fill it. That will mean a lot of putty work and glue followed by an obscene amount of masking(not that this thing isn't already going to use 2-3 rolls.
You can better see where the gaps are in this super bright picture.
Well, I am off to super glue my fingers together some more.
As always thank you for stopping by. T.G.

  2. Yeah this one is big, but a lot of fun and super challenging. Plus I still have to SB a base....I am not how do you say....a scratch builder of any sort.
