WIP 4 - 1/144 OO raiser

I've added a small vent cover and hide the elbow pegs. By using MSG kotobukiya parts, Cut it in half and placed in the elbow joint using plastic cement.Added a few PC-116 Vents from kotobukiya.

I've also added panel lines in the chest area. These 1/144 kits are very tough to hold on, the smallest dymo tape barely holds on to it.

Even the smallast dymo tape can cover most of the 1/144 gundam kits

 

I've scribed the lines using Hobbymate's Multi Purpose Pen Scriber. After that, follow-up scribe of the chisel to add edge to the panel lines. Dymo tape and pen scriber are a tandem!

WIP 3 - 1/144 OO raiser

Decided to change the vents I've installed in the past as it was sticking out like a sore thumb. fashioned out a vent out of 1mm and .5mm pla-plates. completed adding plates to the side of the GN drive.

 then decided increase the width of the feet by adding 1mm pla-plates around the foot. My plan is somehow increase the size of the feet and legs to compensate for the size of the xn- raiser.

WIP 2 - 1/144 OO raiser

I've just took a break from my PG build. It's been almost two years since I've work with this kit, it needs more attention. I've added pla plates on the GN drive shoulders and a vent, but having second thoughts on keeping it. On the Legs, I've scribed panel lines on the knees. I've added 1.5mm thickness on the foot to make it more flat footed.

WIP 1/144 OO raiser

thanks everyone, as to my surprise today, the 1/144 kit has a pretty good articulation as compared to the 1/100 version. the only part that i tweaked is the waist part to add a little bend to the torso. the balance of the kit without the o raiser is great. how i wish they re-issue other 1/144 kits like God Gundam and Gundam X. now i will be concentrating on the mods on the overall look of the kit, i hope it turns out good.
will be sanding the tip to add space for flexing.

the bend before sanding..

the bend after sanding.. i think that i only added 7-12 degrees of bend.. barely noticable... errr!


one advantage of the 1/144 kits is their weight.
