Like the previous update on my Sinanju, there isn’t much progress besides sanding and more sanding. While I don’t have any pictures to show, I’m done with the legs and I’m working on the backpack and weapons now.
Some of the parts on the backpack are molded in one piece, but that leaves them with unsightly parting lines. It took a long time getting rid of them. Left: after sanding, right: before sanding.
Same goes for the wing-like pieces. I’ve circled the parting line on the right. It’s really annoying to see a straight line cut across all the flowing curves.
The handheld weapons also have parting lines. Here I’ve sanded one of the beam axes. I’ll have to do the same for the beam sabers.
I’ll upload a picture of the completed kit before tearing it apart and giving the parts another round of sanding in the next update.
*salutes* im too lazy to sand the parting lines…. ToT good effort there mate!
Thanks… Usually if the lines are not obvious, I won’t sand them, but this guy is all curves and those straight lines stand out.
mold lines are a pain… my hands were cramped after sanding the smaller hguc version, i can imagine why the MG would be a sanding nightmare XD take lots of breaks to stretch those hands.
The way I hold my sandpaper gives me the thumb pain you get from too much SMS or playing console games. :s
wow very clean sanding salutes for your effort 😀
Thanks… I think I didn’t capture the surface well enough. Maybe I need to get some extra fine sandpaper than what I already have.
This kit has way above the number of mold lines and seams to tackle. I can understand your pain man…
Haha I hope all the sanding pays off eventually…
