I'll have to put this on ice for now. The detailing is taking longer than expected and I don't have the time to work on it just yet because of my workload in the office.

Torso updates:

Right and left shoulder armours have been shapped. Just needs to be refined. Fin was added (which I'll be replacing later on...)

Trying to determine which shoulder armour looks better together with the fin.

SD RX-121-2A Gundam TR-1 [Advanced Hazel]

START DATE: ca. November 2009

I got the SD GM Custom a while back (around 3 years ago, if memory serves me right). I had since planned to convert the GM Custom to an SD Advanced Hazel. Never got around to it until around a couple of months ago. Wanted to join an SD contest with this but it seems like work will always get the better of me. :cry:

Here are some WIP photos:

1/144 ZGMF-1000[H] Hunter Zaku [p01]

START DATE: 19th October 2008, 14:23h

This'll be my second WIP. The first is still pending completion. What's the result of 6 months being a bum in the company of a PSP? Zaku Warrior ala Monster Hunter. :P

Moster Hunter places you in the role of a novice hunter who, in the quest for fame and glory, must accomplish various quests. These quests will unlock various armors and weapons; these and other items are created from the remains of slain monsters by carving off their horns, scales and bones. The idea was (and still is) to create a swordie and a gunner. This WIP is for the Blademaster; I have another FG Zaku Blaze that I plan to use as the base kit for the Gunner.

The base kit is a FG Zaku Gunner Lunamaria custom. I've sketched a design and I'm making improvements & changes as the build goes.

Let's begin!

First, the chest and torso. The collar was extended, and the torso "trimmed":



My initial design for one (of two) swords:
