zeo-mare Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) My god its gonna be huge! All that armor on the Gera Doga is sweet as well. Can you still take off all the extra armor plating and fuel tanks or are those now just permenatly stuck in place? Hi Hikuro, no most of the armor is crazy glued on and will stay that way though the arms and legs can still come off because they have polycaps to move with, alot of the armor plates are fully moveable including all the front and side skirt armor. HWR MKII i am not sure yet something tells me that it might have a hard time standing up, i will have to see when i am done. chris Edited May 4, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goshawk Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Man, I wish I could do even close to the work as you do on this model, yesh I am so envious. But that is some awsome work and keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 thanks i still consider myself a rookie on painting, there are still alot of touchups i need to do on it. but thanks for the kind words it gives me reason to continue. i am also going to do a build up of my 1/48 Hi-Nu Gundam and my Wave 1/100 VF-11 Thunderbolt. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeo-mare Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) rest of it. this went slower than expected mainly beacuse i keep running out of paint and primer i can only imagine how long a 1/48 Hi-Nu is going to take me. chris Edited May 4, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Whenever i go to a hobby shop andi think i need 2 bottles for a project i pick up 4 just in case. You always wind up needing more than you think. Looks great man and what the hell are these touch ups you say you need i think it looks perfect there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 there are little details that need to be painted in in the area where the boosters are, there are little tubes and stuff that i have yet to do. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeo-mare Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 it is a 15 pound box, thats alot of resin look at all the parts and stuff. it is going to take me some time just to sand it. then i have to paint it. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 this one is not mine but look at the size of it compared to the MG 1/100 Nu Gundam (which is a pretty big kit among the MG's by the way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hey what's on the CD there? Wonder if its a technical know-how on Resin kits... But that kit looks majorly sweet I envy you alot for getting it, but when you finish this I better be seeing pictures of the Doga and Hi-Nu ready to rip eachothers optics right out.

Highside Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Congrats on finally getting yours, Zeo-mare . Hikuro: That CD contains photos of the completed Hi-Nu made by G-sys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 yea it has some very high quality pics on it about 120 pics total. i also just got the VF-11 kit in, i may do this first because it seems like a easy kit to do. it is very nice looking and very detailed, i really wish we could get a nice VF-11 toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Man we are both having good weeks. I got my Virago from Shadows of the Empire yesterday, my Star Destroyer tonight and probably my Imp shuttle and Falcon tomorrow Good luck on that 1/48th man I cant wait to see the detail you pull off it. sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highside Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I know what you meant by unstable. It collapsed on me once because I didn't tightened the screws enough. I'm currently trying to attach the back pack to see how it'll hold up. It is most certainly a lot of weight to be carrying on its back. Then again, those long fuel tanks can act as a support.

HWR MKII Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 (edited) Actually maybe you guys wouldknow of a source for good kits of a LEV or Orbital Frame from Z.O.E.? I have looked but cant find anything. 600$ he he thats chump change when your umping a grand for an R/C tank. Not that i can do that very often mind you Edited May 8, 2005 by HWR MKII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 The camera I'm using is Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P7 3.2 MP, which is an old camera I have for around 2-3 years. hmm mine is a 4.0 megapixel from Minolta which is a really nice camera. i got to play around with it more. any tips on how you got your Hi-Nu pics so clear? can you give me the settings that you used on yours? unfortunally HWR MKII i have never seen any Orbital frames for Z.O.E. i have only seen scrached built kits for it and the Anubis Frame, i am going to take more pic sof the geara doga today i finished the legs , all i have now are the arms and some little boosters and stuff. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 (edited) doh i was putting the kit together and it fell it looks like it is way to back heavy so i might have to make a stand for it. thankfully nothing was damaged on it. chris Edited May 8, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Please tell me you didnt scream like a girl when it happened I know how expensive that kit is. Bad model Karma stay away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 Please tell me you didnt scream like a girl when it happened I know how expensive that kit is. Bad model Karma stay away! almost i managed to catch it but it still landed on its back and some of the peices came off but it was all a easy fix so i am going to make a display stand before i take pics of it. but it is looking real good now, i also started the wave VF-11 which rocks. i may see if i can get the YF-19 next chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 well i made a display stand, it stands perfect now. i need to do the little details on the legs and put decals on it the arms are currently primered and awaiting pait. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWR MKII Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I was thinking it may stand better once complete some of these kits are designed like that. But then again maybe not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 unfortunally the back is way to heavy there was no way it would stand up the joints in the legs kept getting loose and the leg would buckle resulting in him falling backwards i did not want to wreck the paintjob i may try to get some sort of Zeon Logo decal for the base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No specific settings, I think it's just a matter of lighting. BTW. maybe the weight on front and back of your Geara may even out once you attach both arms with weapons and shield?

zeo-mare Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 i thought about that, but i think it is better this way with a display stand. it seems like the legs are more loose around the ball joints so even with the extra stuff leaning to the front it seems like the legs cannot hold it up anyhow. i will probably make a display stand for the Hi-Nu as well. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
