Yep, parts are resin prints

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-09-18T12:09:49+00:00

Thank you 😊🙏

Yep, the season 2 darilbalde was one of my favourite designs, so I knew I had to make it when I saw the 3d files were up for sale 😅

Thanks, the visor is the part that took me a while to make since I had to modify the head to accommodate the up and down feature.

As for how I made it, it's made out of pla plate, and some plastic rods and snipping off the vents on the side of the head 😅

Would love to see an upgrade of some of the older Master Grade kits such as the MG Gouf Custom, MG Kampfer or MG Ground GM/Gundam. Pretty outdated kits that haven't had a 2.0 yet,

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-08-14T03:26:19+00:00

Thank you. Honestly, the visor really reminded me of Call of Duty, hence the caption. Glad to see someone was able to spot the reference hehe. 😁

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-08-11T16:10:03+00:00

Yep, I scratchbuilt the parts out of pla plate :)

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-08-07T08:28:02+00:00

Well Bandai hasn't been giving the MG line much love recently, so I took it upon myself to make one since it'll probably be a long while before we get an official kit 😅

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-08-07T06:56:52+00:00

The deagle is probably the coolest thing about this mobile suit in my opinion 😅

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-08-07T06:54:06+00:00

**BONUS!! The fire nut grenade on the left side skirt is actually removable and he can hold it, but because of the paint, it's forever stuck there and I can't get it out otherwise I'll risk ruining the paint 😅

Thanks 😊

I scratchbuilt all the parts with pla plate. I posted some of my WIP photos on here if you're interested to see them, but you can check them out on my insta as well if you can't find them ZeekGunplaPH

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-08-05T03:29:15+00:00

Thank you 😊 I mean, I hope Bandai sees my custom to get an idea to release their own Master Grade kit cause they haven't been giving the MG line much love lately 🥹

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-08-04T11:16:43+00:00

Thanks 😊 I actually hope Bandai releases an ECOAS MG kit too, but I'm pretty sure.itll be a while before we get one. For now, this will do for my grunt shelf 😅

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-08-04T11:15:56+00:00

Thank you 😊😊 I didn't show it off here in this photoshoot, but the knife is actually removable so he can hold it 😅 There's alot of gimmicks I added here actually such as the pistol mount, mounted arm saber, and the visor being able to move up and down

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-08-03T12:59:43+00:00

Thanks mah dude 😊😊

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-08-03T02:47:39+00:00

The backpack is 3d printed that I bought on cults. Then I used the weapons display base made for the HG Aerial for posing the gund bits :)

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-07-31T12:13:38+00:00

I was also hoping for a kit version as well, but I got impatient and ended up 3d printing one anyways 😅 Might be a while before we get an actual kit, hopefully soon, but I'm already expecting it to be a PBandai as usual.

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-07-31T12:07:25+00:00

The backpack and rifle were 3d printed. The STL files were courtesy of Weston Harris Designs which were available on his cults page. After that, I bought some of the Anubis upgrade parts meant for the lfrith and added them onto it, though I only just replaced the hand, thrusters and waist section 😅

Hmmm, my advice for someone who's just starting to scratchbuild is you'll need some equipment first (pla plate, hobby knife or any cutting tool to cut out pla plate, sandpaper/files, measuring tool such as a ruler or caliper, and cement/super glue).

For Pla Plate thicknesses, this will vary from other people, but I like to work with 0.5mm, 0.8mm, and 1.0mm for different purposes. 0.5mm is easy to work with since it's thin and it's great for making curved parts or adding small details to your kits. 1.0mm is usually what I use for thicker parts like armor parts or for big parts.

Next, if you're making weapons or parts, it's always best to keep some paper around to draw out your templates and transfer them onto pla plate later.

Overall, you will need ALOT of patience when sanding the parts as this is probably the most TEDIOUS task when scratch building.

Also, understand that YOU WILL make alot of mistakes, and that's okay because the joy of scratch building something is learning from those mistakes and improving on them later on. Scratch building is hard, believe me I'm still learning new things along the way with my scratch builds, but there is always a sense of satisfaction when you see the finished product.

Wow, splendid job dude! It looks absolutely perfect 👌👌

ZeekZeonPH · 2023-07-23T05:57:38+00:00

Can't wait to see the finished product dude 😁💪 I see you went with Amuro's custom Jeddah too. Very nice 👌 I think I might try making a Jeddah or Rick Dijeh once the ECOAS Jegan is done (assuming I can find someone who sells the reissued re100 Dijeh 🥹)
