PG 1/60 Wing Gundam Zero T.V. Version WIP 2

Update on PG wing Zero tv version. Fitted the HG wing zero parts to the PG frame. Most of the HG parts fits, while others need some modification. I've used the PC parts of the PG skirt to hold the HG skirt. Used the same gimmik as for the PG version.

I've extended the groin part of the HG to fit the PG frame. Added some pla plates to cover and extend.

I've decided just to use the Original skirt of the PG instead of the HG. HG skirt doesn't fit right in my own opinion. Just converted the PG skirt and patched up the middle portion to look close enough like the HG skirt.

PG 1/60 Wing Gundam Zero T.V. Version WIP

Since I've built the MG Wing Gundam Zero T.V. version for a client, I'll be building one for my own colllection, but this time its a Perfect Grade. I'll be using a 1/60 HG Wing Gundam Zero T.V. Version and a PG wing Gundam Zero given to me by Toymaker .

I've collected Gundam kits since 1996, and almost completed the whole Gundam Wing model kit lineup. I've been an avid fan of XXXG-00W0 or Wing Zero and for my childhood dreams, I want to convert the 1/60 wing gundam zero with the frame of PG Wing Gundam zero EW.

By size comparison , there should be less problems fitting them to the PG frame.

Leg comparison, there should be no problem fitting them to the frame. 

Finished attaching the leg parts to the frame.

WIP 3 wing, MG Wing Gundam Zero T.V.

Snap fitted most of the wing parts, combining the MG back connector with the HG wing parts.

test fit, seems to high for the shoulders

After test fitting, I've decided to lower the backpack by using the one from the HG. I took the 
connector and cemented it to the HG one.

After building the connection, I've decided to increase the wing by adding pla plate tips to the end of the wing.

Finishing Fit.

The Client just wanted me to put the kit together as He's the one going to paint it. Definitely there more improvements to this kit bash, needs more detail. Next time, I will definitely keep HG legs and improve it so it can fully transform to bird mode. My friend from Singapore gave me a PG wing and that will be my next project. Maybe I'll skip the MG build for later.

WIP 2 torso, MG Wing Gundam Zero T.V.

Did the part separation based on the structure of the MG frame. I've divided the HG shell into three parts, separating the middle section from the side for the cockpit opening gimmick.

Created pegs to attach the middle section to a part of the MG torso to hold it in place. this makes painting easier and does not require a lot of masking.

Also attached the left and right portion of the torso to the MG shell. puttied the uneven parts.

Next, I've used the HG shoulder joint and fitted it to the MG arm. Combined both MG and HG shell for the arm part.

Created pegs for easy removal for painting

Added a few details to the waist part. I've used the original Shell of the HG for the waist. added a few MSG parts.

Next is the wing and backpack connection.

MG Wing Gundam Zero T.V. Version W.I.P.

I've kitbashed two kits, a MG Wing gundam Zero EW for the MG frame, and used the outer shell of the HG 1/100 wing gundam zero T.V. version to make a MG Wing Gundam Zero T.V. Version. This my first Foreign Commissioned work and the client wants to paint it himself, he just want me to convert the kit into a MG.

Separated the moving parts of the legs using etching saw from Tamiya.removed all pegs inside the shell to fit the MG frame.

 


added almost 6mm of Pla Plates to the MG frame for it to fit inside the HG shell.

I've recreated the peg that holds the knee part. the original peg was too short because of the leg extension.

Now finished with the leg part, seems to be no problems with the articulation.
Next: the Torso modification.
