Just a small update on my MG Zeta commish. This is my favorite technique these days, I started doing this on my PG Zeta I think and I call it armor trimming. This technique gives the armors a more Evo looking look even without pla plating. It also removes the boring straight lines of armor parts. Notice how the simple yellow vents transformed into a better looking vent with the armor trimming.
A couple of trimmings needs clean up though but will just add a few more of these on the leg armors and arms before pla plating. So next update will be a pla plated MG Zeta. I will now focus on working with this kit for the next few weeks. Btw, I just use a fresh art knife for this. ; )
Anyways, here are more photos of the kit with trimmed armor parts...
Thanks for dropping by! Til' next post! :)
nice technique! i like this! i think i'm going to try it on a hg 1/144 to test it out.
ReplyDeleteThanks bro, just curve it out with a fresh new art knife. :)
ReplyDeleteA surprisingly simple yet effective technique, I must say! Looking at the photos you've posted, it looks like this could also work on straight builds without any paintjobs.
ReplyDeleteI think it could... no pla plates means it does not need painting I guess. :)
ReplyDeletehow do you cut such clean lines???
ReplyDeletedoes the thinness of a tamiya knife help?
YES! the Tamiya art knife blades are perfect for this.... ordinary X-Acto Art knife is too thick for the job. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, i've been trying to do this for a while now, but i always end up with crooke lines and just plaplating over it :s
ReplyDeleteA really sharp knife will help bro. :)
ReplyDeleteAs a business owner, you would have thought about how best to safeguard your assets by putting procedures in place to protect what you own. But I have always felt that challenging times bring out the best in individuals and in organisations. It's a quick, easy, stress-free, and efficient way to get the equipment you need on a temporary basis. Some forklift training companies are in it for the short term, to make quick cash, and dont really mind how skilled you end up at the end of the day - which in my opinion is dangerous, and could lead to death or injury for yourself or for people working with you. - Since most forklifts steer from the rear it is a good idea to test drive one in an empty, open area with no people and no objects around in order to understand how they turn.
