macroadster Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) I have been trying to build individual parts for a VF-0S Gerwalk. I tried to make small parts out of resin recast of other plastic models, and also eproxy putty. Unfortunately, both methods didn't work for me. What would be the best method to build small parts like this? Edited May 29, 2005 by macroadster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeo-mare Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) those look like Gundam hands, probably spare Master Grade hands. you can by hands like the from Hobby Link Japan. they are called Manipulators, they have many different kinds and styles in both 1/144 and 1/100.

EXO Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Styrene tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stamen0083 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Specifically, the hands in that conversion came from the MG Gundam GP01 or GP01Fb. The High Detail Manipulators are static display pieces and are not articulated. They look a hell of a whole lot better though. The arms were built from styrene tubing cut to shape.

macroadster Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 It might be easier than I thought to recreate this. My first attempt was using Styrene sheets, and tried to roll it into a tube. That didn't work too well. I didn't know there were styrene tubes for sale. Silly me. How about the joints? There got to be something on hlj that I could use. I just don't know how to use hlj navigation very well. Thanks guys.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
