2012 Mecha Contest WIP - initial mods


2012 Mecha Contest WIP - initial mods photo

Started a little bit of work on my 2012 Mecha Contest entry for the modified plastic category earlier today. Not much progress actually. I stripped the PG Aile Strike of it's precious 30th anniversary clear armor parts and started with the basic shapes of the chest and as usual the crotch.

I also started a bit of work on the huge weapon which was made of 1.2 mm pla plates, 8mm clear plastic rod and a 5mm plastic rod. I basically need to scratch built huge armor pieces and sort of design my own. Scratch building on the fly without much reference adds to the challenge and the fun of this project. I hope I can pull it off. Needless to say I only plan to use the internals of the perfect grade kit and will not use any of it's armors. Maybe I will end up with a naked kit. lol

Anyways here are photos of the initial mods...

Nice one Don. This is gonna be huge coming from that basic shape!! :D

But since you would be building a design of your own, wouldn't that be like making a concept build instead?

Yeah realized it is like making a concept build. I hope I pull this one off bro. My first time to try this. :)
