Just a small update, primed the whole kit.

Another pre-paint modification for the wings.

I also extended the upper body by 2mm, and the neck by 1mm.

Added panel lines and rivet holes for additional detail.

Filled the hollow parts with epoxy putty, then added rivet holes as details.

Back with a new and rush project. Must be able to finish this build within a week for our local compe. So far I have no clear idea what to do with it, maybe I'll just detail it up a bit and adjust the proportion according to my preference like most of my builds.

To save time and avoid masking as much as possible I did some pre-painting modifications, which is pretty basic just by cutting some pegs here and there so I will be able to to slide the parts after painting.

1. Head assembly

2. Thigh assembly

Here's my HGUC Asshimar with an AOZ theme. I only changed a few things and added details here and there, which is not very obvious and just to be a little different compared to the stock or OOTB form. This build was actually inspired by Eday's Asshimar. I was impressed by the way he detailed and modified it.

At last, I was able to finish painting, washing and detailing.

AOZ decals was also applied to match the color scheme.

Now working on a side project, since painting the Asshimar was delayed due to the power interruptions in our area a couple of days ago. Here are some of the preps Ive done.

Pre paint mods on the shoulders.

Carved the sides of the torso and made the seam lines look like a natural groove on the kit.

Also scribed panel lines on the thighs (also on the arms) so it will look uniform with the seam since Im not planning to seal it.

Made some simple cuts on the legs to avoid masking. Will just have to slide the gray part after painting.

Detailed the crotch portion using plates and scraps of wires, too bad it wont be that visible after painting and assembly. Will also put O-bolts later.

I also managed to modify the riffle a bit, building a scope and integrating some details into it.

Most of the parts were primed to check for errors and sanded again. Hopefully this time there would be no sand marks or glue marks left.

-Added MSG's for the monoeye

-Made extra fin

-Extended the neck joint

-Detailed the elbow covers using plaplate

-Made the upper thigh i bit more "pointy", also added round molds

-Added MSG's on the leg armor

-Made pseudo pistons out of rods

-Added IC's at the backpack

Added pla plates and rods on the armors for more depth and detail.

I also managed to modify the feet, also an idea I got from Eday.

Made a cut on the head and placed some .5mm pla-rods.

The original detail on the chest doe not fit my taste so I sanded it down and replaced it with rods and plates.

Same with the crotch armor, made it a little more bulky.

The kit was pretty plain and lots of empty spaces, so what I did was to scribe panel lines just to give it a little more depth and mechanical look.

Starting to build another kit, while Im still on the mood. This one is just a fun build at the same time part of an informal group build with some of my friends at Mechapinoy. Any UC model kit with an AOZ theme/color scheme. I was inspired by Eday's Asshimar build so I might try to copy some of his mods and details... if I can.
