SD DOM / For FFF SD Competition

Posted by Whitebase : 25th November 2007, 2:00 am

This is the work in progress log for the SD Dom I did back in 2006 for FichtenFoo’s Forum’s SD competition. I thoroughly enjoyed this build, because I was taking a break from the more serious genre I normally do. I was also using this build as a test bed to experiment on several things which I have not tried before.
First time doing cast iron effect
First time doing weathering
First time doing smoke trails
First time doing small base (soil and grass)
First SD!! _

Here’s how the kit looks like out of the box. Standard SD… Fat, Cute and limited poseability.

 



I cut away the stub on the leg so that I can position them in a different angle.



I test fitted it with a spare 1/144 Dom Tropen’s open palm


Next, I separated the arm from the shoulder to allow for a more natural angle for the pose. I didn’t rebuild a PC joint here, as I was going to make it fixed pose. It will be eventually glued back on in a permanent position.

The original kit came with the visor molded in solid black. I wanted to make a clear visor with some internal camera showing. To do this, I first outlined the position of the visor by scratching a line at the edge of the original black part. This will be my guide for the positioning of the transparent visor.

Next up, I scratchbuilt a makeshift railing for the eye camera using pla-plate. The camera piece is a kotobukiya part.
