If you have a single piece of shrink plastic, you can make it work somehow.

Making plastic boards is fun.

Is the image something you created?

It seems easy to do, but once I try it, I feel like I’ll give up right away.

Is someone going to hold the 1/60?

>>6

That kind of feeling.

I thought about requesting parts from Bandai, but since they apparently have no stock, I think it’s faster to just make it myself.

>>21

I want to learn this way of thinking.

I don’t really think about scratching it…

Next is 1/6.

You’re a pro―――

It’s amazing that it can be done.

Mega size or PG?

Next is machining from the layer!

You can do this much just with plastic sheets, huh…

With this size, it feels a bit lacking in detail and lonely… so be cautious.

>>14

Since it’s a shield, it doesn’t really need to be that detailed…

>>14

Since it’s a shield, it should be functionally correct to be flat.

I might accidentally increase the line details.

>>17

In the Gundam world, it’s almost like a weapon rack…

Especially since Gundam is used for atmospheric reentry, it might be nice if it looks like the underside of a real space shuttle?

Isn’t it cheaper to win an auction for an unassembled old kit on auction than to buy plastic sheets?

>>16

Well, there’s probably the part where it’s fun to make it…

Should we add a filter to the edge?

When you try something and succeed, it becomes fun.

I honestly thought you would use the G Armor.

I used to make a 1/144 scale model myself, but I really felt that it’s necessary to properly create a pattern.

Even something that seems so simple has subtle angles, and it ends up being a struggle to refine it…

Let’s do 60 times again.

I can do it, I can do it.

Awesome…

It looks like you’re cutting parts and then sticking them together, but how are you attaching the plastic sheets?

Is it a type of adhesive that melts plastic sheets to stick together instead of a regular adhesive?

>>29

I’m using adhesive for acrylic.

>>30

I see… that’s helpful…! Thank you!

>>31

That’s the super rare shining one, isn’t it?

I’m envious.

>>31

Ah, Shining looks really nice in the big size~

I really respect people who can create something from scratch.

If it doesn’t exist, I’ll create it!

That’s all a modeler needs…

>>33

It’s just that one word if I put it into words…

If you go from 1/144 to 1/100, it makes it easier to create the dimensions of 1/100 by multiplying the original value by 1.44.

>>34

1/60 is roughly 2.5 times 1/144.

I saw a wild Temurai for the first time.

The details of the 1/60 Shining, which is large yet flat, are increasing.

The star-marked section looks difficult.

It’s amazing that you decided to do a full scratch build.

It might feel different with things like faces, but I feel like I could relatively easily make a shield.

>>44

It’s already like that in the thread image, but I have to consider the slope of the edge, so it’s surprisingly troublesome.

>>45

If you support the area with the beams that are added for reinforcement, then the finer details can be handled with putty and such.

>>48

I think it’s more about whether the parts fit properly than anything else…

If it’s too simple, can’t it conversely make it impossible to cover things up?

Creating a symmetrical and rigid design can surprisingly be quite difficult to achieve with precision.

It’s common to measure the dimensions carefully and cut according to what you wrote, but it doesn’t fit.

Could it be that the nameless one is the reincarnation of Max Watanabe?

>>51

That person is alive!

By the way, there’s a classmate from my vocational school days doing the original character work over there.

A friend said they wanted a huge shield for 30ms, so I made one out of a runner and plastic board for fun, but it turned out to be incredibly flat with no details at all.

Braces and reinforcements are not necessary.

If the joint surfaces fit properly, this shape will naturally provide strength.

Did you really just put together plastic sheets…?

Properly melted and bonded plastic has quite a lot of strength, right?

Building a Gundam shield is quite a hassle, isn’t it?

If you don’t show the kitchen edge, it will look uncool.

You can’t help but think about whether you can make something using a runner.

It looks simple, but it’s surprisingly difficult—like the Federation shield.

While making it, I went, “Huh…? Was it this shape…?” and it really surprised me.
