Naran Baatar- Builds a New Kit for a New Character.
« on: Feb 21, 2018, 08:40 PM »
Hello hello again,

So the other half and I have decide that we really want to have a single set of kits that pair nicely with one another. We when back and forth on era and design for a good long while now and while it is still very much so winter. Some process has been made toward completing these two kits. These will be "new" characters for the both of us. I am making a directed effort to make this kit VERY different from what I have done before. Still a long way to go before everything is done. But I have gotta to the point in the build that I really need to get a W.i.P fired up.

Anyway pictures!

Plates shaped and the base bronze color in place


Post highlight and first round of washes


Weathering and Detail work started




Armor vest, kama and sash.




Custom take on the EE-3 Blaster


Still have a TON to do, the belt is also made and I will be rigging up the chest and backplates together in the near future. Flight suit should be here by tomorrow and then I will do a full soft goods kit up. Beyond that need to finish shaping the shnees, work out a plan for the gauntlets, wait of my fancy blue mirrored visor to arrive and do a whole lot more detail painting and soft good weathering. But progress is underway. Feels nice to be building again

Not started yet, her kit is still only in the soft good stage and well since it is her W.i.P for her third kit, I will just build the thing, running the W.i.P is her job :)

So are the chest and back plates bolted together or strapped?

They are articulated, so "kinda" bolted together. The attachment point on the under plate has range to allow chicago screw to move.

Thanks Mi'ix, that is very kind of you to say  :)

Minor update, finished the base paint work on the EE-3 tonight. This coming week should be a big work week as it is going to be sunny and above 40 degrees and I also have the week off.

Anyway picture!

Frist full soft good kit up plus cod and torso armor, still some find tuning needed with the strapping. But it is nice to start to get a rough idea of what things are going to look like.

I am thinking I am going to change out the sash for a different color as while I was aiming to keeping the kit within a rough color range the blue of the sash is just too close to the flight suit and is cause a trick of the eye and making it get lost. So I am going to which it out for a deep red sash I am thinking.

Anyway pictures!








More updates soon!

I agree. Swapping out the sash for a different color would be a good idea.

Did you guys make the spats?

Nope, they are an amazon buy. Right now they are just a visual stand in for a pair of boots riding boots that are on order.\

Minor update, the shoulder armor is done as well as the gold detailing...

As always pictures.

Minor update...been working on the wife's kit for a bit.

Did most of the major detail paint work. Still have sigils and symbols to add into the open spaces. But things are well in hand.

At first I thought "that's some funny looking shadow on the left" then I realized its your paint scheme. That turned out beautiful. Nicely done.

So it has been a hot minute since I have been able to work on the kit with the end of the semester and other general life and MMCC stuff happening. But spring has finally come and I finally got a weekend without being buried by work, so I will able to make some process towards adding the finishing touches to the kit. Even since these pictures I have given the soft goods another round of weathering to even out a few spots and increase the weathering in a few places as well. The hope is that this weekend I can get the app pictures taken.

Anyway pictures!
