WORK IN PROGRESS
Planned to fill the skirt armor with epoxy putty and add more details. For the side armor, it would
be easier to put a piece of pla-plate to cover the hole.
be easier to put a piece of pla-plate to cover the hole.
Took a piece of pla-plate and drilled holes with a pin vise. Each holes have different sizes.
Used the previous pla-plate to find out the exact size of the piece of 'connector' (whatever you call that) to
drill a hole in the actual pla-plate which will be covering the armor.
Drilled a hole in the actual pla-plate. Fits perfectly in the armor.
After sanding it properly, this is how it looked like.
Noticed that the original piece have an opening at the bottom to allow opening of the armor. Therefore, an
opening must be made too similar with the original piece.
Drilled some holes where the opening will be made.
This is how it looked like after some sanding. More sanding needed to make it look nicer.
The armor can now be opened perfectly :)
Now, to fill the skirt armor.
Used Tamiya Expoy Putty to cover up the hole.
After some horrendous amount of time spent sanding, this is how it looked like now. Damn, this thing is hard to sand.
Traced the shape of the skirt armor and cut out the pla plate pieces.
Did some reaaaally simple design for the skirt amor and cut out the parts in the center.
Unfortunately, both sides are not symmetrical. Ah, what the heck. Closing one eye this time.
