Sinanju: Head and Waist Progress



Got the head completed yesterday. Thankfully there was no gold to paint (just the gun metal on the vulcans) so it was relatively quick. I must say, I really like the design for this head, it combines neat curves on the sides of the head with the angular front mask and horn. Like others have said, can't really see the eye if you don't specifically look upwards. No matter, still looks awesome.

All the parts:



See! The eye does exist! It also turns with the head, but pshhh, like that will ever be noticed.




Working on the waist section right now. This must have the most pieces of any waist I've built, also probably the largest. What's keeping me from finishing this up is all the paint that I need to let dry. Since the pieces are so small I have to wait for them to completely dry before even picking them up again to paint another side. I decided on a chrome silver for the thrusters instead of gunmetal, we'll see how it turns out.

  2. Well, maybe you should! :) It's a really nice kit, although a little expensive...

    Here's an image I made showing how to display larger photos. Hope it helps!

  4. great, it's Sinanju.
    too expensive for me to buy though, and for some reason I don't really like Sazabi and friends.
    But this one is a really great bad ass.

  5. I'm anxious to see how it turns out as well! Working on the arms now, almost done with them.

    Didn't like Sazabi and friends much either at first, but I think they've grown on me.

    Seems like all the mobile suits from Gundam Unicorn are turning out to be badass, I really hope we get a giant MG Kshatriya.

  7. Exactly, can't have one without the other. I'll wait for the Ver 2.0 for Sazabi and Nu Gundam though since Nu's proportions look really strange to me.

  9. Heh, yeah. I would certainly get the Nightingale if they made a MG. But then I would have to get a Hi-Nu... haha

  10. Haha, we'll see once I get through all my current kits. I always did like the funnels on the back of Hi-Nu, and the neat shield pattern.
