HGUC 1/144 Palace-Athene
I'll be joining the mono eye group build in Katoots.
So I guess I'd be unwrapping my Palace-Athene for this one.
Pesky tiny seams that lingers even after the extra thin cement treatment.
Slap on a bit of Mr. Surfacer 500.
Repeat if you can still see the seam emerging from under the paint.
Then sand it down.
Snap fitted.
Scribing some additional panel lines for the head.
Sketch with a pencil first.
Done, using a "big head" pin attached to a pin vise.
Planning to add some plaplates to the groin regions.
Stick a masking tape on it and mark out its shape.
Then draw your design on it.
Testing to see how it looks with the masking tape.
Cut out the masking tape, stick it onto the plaplate and use a pencil to outline the shape.
Cut out the shape and cement them to the intended areas.
Ok lah, simple design which is not too difficult to cut out.
A potential seam when the two chest halves are combined.
Covered it up with a small bit of plaplate.
Progress so far......
That's it for the chest.
The deeper panel lines on the chest are done using the back of the hobby knife so that it'll end up with more of a squarish trench than a V-shaped one.
The arms.
Just the addition of recycled bits of plaplates and some extra panel lines.
I always have a hard time figuring out where and what kinda panel line designs to add.
Lower torso.
Progress so far......
