Sword Impulse Gundam Build

[Getter 1]

Well the right arm is now done and I decided to get on the head before doing the left arm. Sorry the pix aren't transfered yet besides I wanted to get the head done but not tonight :P

Cerebrave, I got a major compliment for you. I sent a buddy of mine a pic of the build and he saw the pic before reading what I said about it being a paper model and before he read it he thought it was the MG model! :D Now he's an incredible plastic and resin modeler and it had him fooled till he read it was paper. Janx knows who I'm talking about and can vouch that he's not easily impressed! Take a bow CB, take a bow

Be loking for more pix tomorrow with a head :D

I know I said yesterday :P

Well here we have the shoulder and shoulder armor coming together.

I had to make a trap door in the top plate for the side plate to go into for movement allowance. Other than that pretty straight forward :D

Here we have the head coming together. A lot of little pieces and a lot of compound curves but not that hard. The "crown" and "back base were the hardest to do.

Head installed. The white antennas were tough at the top. Very small ridge tofold there and connect with the front panel.

Down to other arm and weapons now :D

Beautiful! lol I want one

[marksolo]

huh? did i see a white edge on the fingers? is G1 a mortal after all?

lol, it is still a superb build, above and beyond anything i can ever accomplish

[Getter 1]

Mortal??? Well yes, but Human, No :P

The fingers are not done quite yet as I only lightly tacked the thumb on as it will most likely need to be re-positioned for holding a weapon.

I haven't done the other arm yet but today I moved onto the weapons. Pix in a bit. I need to print another weapon sheet to fix a mistake......... yes I admitted a mistake MS :P On the Beam boomerangs on the back I accidently put both lefts and both rights together so I need to cover that up :P

[Getter 1]

Ok Goof up fixed and I'm now on the swords.

G1,
thanks for the compliments, but I guess I'm not only the one who is entitled for it. Designing a papercraft is only half the way, another half is to build it, and with your skill, the result is fascinating!

I've just lay down the canvas and sketch it, but you've painted it very well done! Congrats to you too!

I really cant wait the final moments, with several different pose that you can think of!

[Getter 1]

One sword done now minus the beam blade. Got it in a fun pose here holding one of the beam boomerangs (note no blade attached to it). There is no beam blade for the boomerang in the Beta but perhaps CB will make one if some builder wants it :D

I will most likely lock it in a pose later on as it had a hard time holding the BB without a blade. Now granted I built the BB different from design. It was just a 2 pice front and back part but I gave it a few layers of 110 lbs stock in between for added thickness :P Those will be glued to the back later on so it may still hold the other weapons ok but doubtfull. The oversized nature of the weapons will take a toll on the joints int he long run. Still fun to play with posing ATM :D
