Hey guys, after a long hiatus from gunpla, I want to start a new project for the Spoiler: click to toggle What I did on the sides of the Zeta was sand down and add a piston then add some pla plates. It still needs a lot of refining for the plaplates look random and out of place. What I plan to do is make it into an evo design, (sand down every part .03 m, haha just kidding).

Thanks WenHan I took some pictures today with what I have done; used my point and shoot. The quality is not that great haha. I am going to reshape the cockpit. I extended the skirts a bit and I abandoned the sides that I was planning and I will be going to use hydraulic looking things instead. It's gonna be quite a bit of sanding hell for me. :\ Spoiler: click to toggle [the fat gas tubes will not be the hydralics, I just needed something there so it wouldn't be empty.] Edited by Deku, Jun 10 2010, 07:32 PM.

Did you strip the paint off the plastic? Cause I see cracks on the plastic. Also, welcome back. Oh yea, when I have a huge chunk of putty right on the kit, I get a very low grit sand paper (150) and sand like crazy until it's flat.

Nope, it was never paint. 150 grit? Weak sauce, I'm going to use some 50 grit lol. |

Sanding hell... I had to bust out the 60 grit. Well, now that the sanding is over, I will be adding details into the chest+pelvic areas. I don't know what to do with the cockpit I reshaped, any ideas on how I should reshape/add detail to it? Spoiler: click to toggle Edited by Deku, Jun 10 2010, 07:32 PM.

For the cock pit, make it more triangular and longer. Extend the feet, and add big pistons on the lower leg to maintain balance. |

Heh thanks guys. Noted on the pistons on the feet. I don't thing I'm going for the triangular look though. Thanks Ben! Spoiler: click to toggle This one took FOREVER... I decided to go back and redo what I had because I just thought the first time around it looked like crap. C&C welcome. Edited by Deku, Jun 10 2010, 07:31 PM.

Haha I can think of many who are better than me, Gao. You know, you're better than me at painting, that means I can say that you're one of the best painters on this forum ^^ Recently I was invited by my friend to go to AX this year... Well, I have three weeks, let's see if I can get this done. I spent all day trying to finish the torso and hips.. I couldn't finish it, but I got a lot done, which I am content about. Well here's some pictures of what I did:     Good thing I held back on scribing the chest today.. Hopefully tomorrow I will have time to try it with the knife. C&C is much welcomed. |

A year later... Reboot! I'm planning to finish this in a month for Fanime. Let's hope I can get my motivation. I've already cleaned up my room and created a whole new work space that would facilitate my modeling. I hope to find out a way to build pistons and fix the skirts still. I'm open for suggestions. On second look, I see a lot of things need work. x_x Edited by Deku, Apr 19 2011, 01:04 AM.

Good luck with this in the time frame you have! First time viewing this topic, and i love what you did to the backskirt! Maybe some vents on the ends of the front skirts? |

@WarMachine395, Thanks! Glad to be back. @Vektar, Haha, can't wait to see you at Fanime then! Make sure you enter! I think I've gotten a bit rusty. @Squee, Thank you man! I think a month will worth since I have Spring Break coming up. I can probably work on it while I recover from party days aha. Thanks for the idea on the skirts! I've been spending time cleaning up and removing some old mods while trying to improve the external shape of the Zeta. I've rebuilt that vents that need a lot of cleaning and tried to slim down that huge cockpit hatch. I'm planning to finish up some more mods then start detailing the front chest. C&C welcome!

   I just finished a bunch of reshaping and such. I think that hiding a bit of the zeta's face will give it a more menacing look so that's what I did. I also tried to hide that ugly cockpit joint area as well as make the Zeta's chest vents look more pronounced. That's pretty much how the front coronal area of the zeta's upperbody will look like sans detailing and cleaning. C&C welcome. edit: clarification: The chest doesn't cover THAT much of the face, I just had it propped up when I took the pictures. It actually only covers the gundam mustache.

  Alright, so I've gone into detailing some empty space in the chest. I'm going to add pistons and such after. I also sanded down the top of the chest due to some criticism. I switched out the cockpit cover because I found something better that could be used. Sort of a small update. C&C! |
