Ivan's WW1 what if trench runner Gundam

[NorthernModeller]

GREETING. Because Jason (Lysus) is evil, he MADE me buy another gundam. I have bought this and should be with me by next week, I know its a cheap kit but I have plans, lie my last test that didn't work out so well, to be a WW1 what if soldier, more than likely german running over a trench or something like that



I would like it to look a little bit like this one I saw online, but less busy

[Timplastic]

Go for it Ivan !!
Don't blame lysus we all know your track record of surfing the net

Love the idea.

[NorthernModeller]

Go for it Ivan !!
Don't blame lysus we all know your track record of surfing the net

Love the idea.

I just can not hep myself, the internet prices are too good to resist lol

[Lysus]

Nice! I was hoping you'd come back to this idea! Glad you could make it

I'll take the blame for ya, you've earned it a little. I AM a bad influence

[SergioSolo]

Awesome! I love the idea. Good luck!

[NorthernModeller]

Its arrived Tonight I start in on the show

[privatepete]

Bang goes my idea good luck with the build

[Lysus]

Bang goes my idea good luck with the build

Heh, don't let it stop you, I want to see BOTH!

[NorthernModeller]

So, we start. I just love the way the bandai kits go together so simple and so many little sub assemblies.





after a few parts, we start to get something that resembles a torso. I am not going to be fully assembling the kit at start because I am going to be painting the Sub assemblies separately.



these builds start to come together really damn quick





I have already done a thread on a previous gundam build if it being put together piece by piece, I did not want to do that for this build as I am going to make more effort in the painting, weathering and vignette stages.

[NorthernModeller]

Right, so he starts to get legs, and then he some how get completed. This is pretty much the "BASIC' build, I am not going to be glueing and dealing with seam lines, then painting the sub assemblies.











BUT I HAVE A COOL IDEA, I want to build him using some wires and such like he has lost his arm and he is on the 'Final battle of the somme" type of feel. I want to make him look like the "Final war machine" of the war

[Lysus]

Interesting! So can't wait for paint and grime.

[rodrant]

Yet I still didn't get the Gundam 'fever' , but it is interesting to see your builds and see the development ! Nice idea there Ivan !

[AdamLuscombe]

Looks awesome

[Timplastic]

Will be good too see this finished with your take on it, stick with it Ivan

[Joesdad]

Massively cool idea Ivanna, but are you gunna finish him?

[Lysus]

Well, Mr I finish On Time Now, how's it coming? One month left to go!

[NorthernModeller]

Well, Mr I finish On Time Now, how's it coming? One month left to go!

Ohh there is plenty of time, he is all built, just needs a dio putting together and he needs painting and weathering up, could not be easier
