SD Exia Repair Part II

Friday, June 5, 2009 KOALA
Geh.....forced to go back to picas.
Luckily, this time i've backup up all the setting from my computer, so the online albums havent been affected.
As you may have noticed, all the thumbnails from old albums are now gone.
As i mentioned before, the pics are all in the new album and still available for viewing

Well, worked a bit more on the Exia
To increase some mobility, the arm had to be sliced appart and a polycap inserted to create an elbow joint

Next up was the front and rear skirt armour
Pretty much just divided the front skirt in half, then removed one side
For the rear, had to saw off both beamsabers, and sand back a lil.

The right leg was a bit more challenging. The photo was a bit too bright so cant tell where the expoxy and plastic meet. Anyways, basically just removed the ankle guard and knee cap, filled up the hole, then moulded a scratch knee. Hopefully it would look better after painting.

The damaged gn sword. Im still not too happy about how it looks at the moment.
Any suggestions on how to improve???

Now where what would Exia Repair be without the cloak??
Just got some old cloth, tore it up, then flamed it a bit.
To make the cloth a bit more posable, i inserted some bendy wires into it so it would hold some shape.

Tofu complained about the terminator eye being too big.
Well, this is an SD after all, and sd's have big eyes, so naturally the R1's right eye replacement should be big aswell ^^

Overall, reasonably happy with how this turned out.
Still have some things to work on, like removing left ankle guard, removingbeam sabres from shoulders, and alot of painting.

obviously vu doesnt read my explainations....
theres 3 bendy wires which were inserted into the cloth to make it more rigid and easier to shape. The other effects on the cloth were done with a pair of scissors and flaming with a lighter

you know I was just looking at the broken blade and due to the chips along the side it makes it appear curved and fat. Try sanding it abit to give it a more defined edge but still keep the worned look cos atm it resembles a broken spoon than a blade.
