1/60 Red Frame Astray Bust
I was planning on replacing the Red Giant's armor entirely with clear parts (aside from the one I got with my original kit, I was able to procure an extra set of clear parts at a VERY reasonable price).
Even with that done, I will still have enough parts for a full head and then some, so, while waiting for the weather to clear, I decided to do a 1/60 Red Frame Astray bust, complete with LED.
Since I don't have parts for an internal frame, and I didn't want to do recasts, I dug out the surplus Strike parts that came with the Astray, and after some assessment was able to discern which parts can be used to scratch build a rudimentary frame.
I also used pla plates and beams as support for the modifications.
Here's a preview of my progress so far (I just started this yesterday). Since my battery is in the fritz, I'll try to shoot the inner parts as I go along.
Using pla plates and beams, I scratch built frames for the next and preshoulder.
I used kotobukiya ball and socket joint and a piece of 8mm Tamiya clear pipe for the neckassembly.
Suggoi!! red LED light makes astray looks good!!
I thought it's supposed to be a 1/60?
My bad, it is 1/60. Thanks for taking note of that...
i think that's 1/60..^^
I'm not into clear frame edition, but its nice to see someone willing to remodel their Gundam with parts for mods.
d@@b
Oh, I'll be painting this one, though, it looks cool as it is...
cant wait for the finished product =)
your plan is to make HUGE LED powered lamp with PG astray as its frame?
neat idea
anyway... how much is your VERY reasonable prize :evilgrin:
I got the extra clear parts SANS the sword and stand at PhP600. The complete set goes for around PhP2K-3K locally. It's not really going to be a lamp, though that's possible if I add more LEDs.
