Up first is my AMT 63 Vette....the kit is from 1988 and is a nightmare of miss molded parts and thick or thin plastic...the window support beam was broken and small wing window support bent...
Two engine options....I went with.....naw...show you later...lots of work to de-chrome....and get parts ready,,,,probably why this has been on bench so long....
Stock option with drag wheels...for my straight build...and my test hood with Boyd mettalic orange paint
option one aftermarket wheels
option 2 aftermarket wheels
Sword preview...shield part is Gray metallic...gun platinum
Tamiya Metallic blue to the right....below the leg in progress...Boyd...and Tamiya paints....Shield in both positions
On the table....PG Zaku...just cutting some parts and looking...lots of stuff...can hardly figure out directions on this one...crazy stuff
This is the newest build on my table...the Sword Impulse Gundam....this post will be the first of a few...to show progress...and my own style of building
Here is The Sword Rocking out the song Freya,...this band has been the sound track for this build along with my Pandora Doom Metal channel....Good Tunes and Gunpla go hand in hand
Popped open the box and here it is...ah yes...fresh and ready to be opened and the journey to begin....I have a new exacto and my sanding pads on hand....above ...I mark off each part as I start the process...cut, then trim, then sand....the shield takes form...
the pics are of the upper torso...I cut, trim, then pre fit...to make sure everything is right...and visualize my color scheme....below, this pile of parts will make up a leg...this kit has very good articulation...so it is good to preview this before committing to paint
Here the kit has been put together, notes taken...so I know what will need extra attention on the painting and rebuild....
Parts laid out in section specific trays after the anneal process.....
