Next project that I am starting. The inspiration/plan for this one is mixing the mecha form from gundam with the gritty style of Machinen Krieger. In short this will be a study in both textures and weathering.
With the progress here on the foot as an example piece, my plan is to do a heavy cast texture on the dark color parts and a light texture on the pink pieces. This will then be unified with a weld bead between the two.
For the inner mechanical parts with be a dark metalic, (have not decided on color yet), with some colored accents. I also plan to add some weathering in various places where it would seem appropriate. Will figure the specifics later.
One area i am think of modifying is the center nozzels. This is because they are to large for that position and prevents the outer puece from properly fitting.
Been a few weeks away from this project, was out of town one week and was not feeling geeat the other, but made a little more progress. Got the head done and attached. One thing i did decide on was to use the alternative antenna fin as it looks more in line with the look i am going for. Plus im thinking i might run a wire from the tip to the other ornament on the back of the head ala aircraft antena wire.
Been away from this project and finally got more work done. Big thing is got the arms done. With that i started marking which areas will get what level of work, specifically a lighter or heavy coating. Will make sense later.
Got the weapons done and started marking out where i want to do some damage. The pencil unfortunately does not show up that well on the blue in the photo but its there.
