Think it's an amazing looking custom with great execution. I actually have parts in the mail to build something similar (although I imagine mine will not look nearly this good). Funnels make a lot of sense when you think about how the Stein is supposed to be a successor to the Nu Gundam and Sazabi.
Really, my only criticism is the funnels, and that's because I've never been a fan of the look of the Hi-Nu Gundam's funnels.
so i gotta know how you got those funnels on the thruster pack... from what i can tell you drilled a hole big enough to fit that "ball" peg. but i'd like to know how you got it to stay in place. also can that peg rotate? or did u have to seal it with glue to make it firm perhaps. it looks like once you got it in there you found a piece that would act as a washer almost. or you made one... again i'd really like to know how you did it.
also did you have any issues posing the thrusters? did the funnels add too much weight? if so i might need to rethink my plan...
I'm trying to think of a way to get Freedom Gundam's wings on there. either a similar way you did it or by removing the thrusters all together, i still need to get my stein in the mail. if possible i'd like to keep the thrusters, add freedom gundam's wings, and tweak the fuel tanks to fit Savior's cannons. it's a rough idea in my head but i'm hoping to get it to work.
I appreciate the molder's skill, but the Fin Funnel just seems to be a redundant
ReplyDeleteonly the vfin feels a bit off, may be it should be red or white >__<
ReplyDeleteToo much of a kit-bash for my personal taste but kudos to the custom modified parts holding it all together though.
