This is a kit done during last year's Sinanju Head Group Build. Ok photo first:
The story:[/u]
It started off as a joke, a dare during a teh tarik session. Somehow discussion just got outta hand and there born the group build..... silly reason, but at least i had a good time working on it
As to the Unicorn head I did earlier, I have decided to make this, too, into an USB port. After the experience of the first one (The Unicorn), things are pretty straight forward. Just get a normal USB port, dismantle it, extend the LED wire, and chuck into the base of the head.
Use whatever leftover spare parts to decorate and cover n seal up the circuit board inside. Done!
For the chest emblem, decided not to saw it out. Instead, try to have some exercise on my never-gotta-be-good masking skill. The gold part is a reverse wash technique which is pretty widely used on the UC series mecha: spray the whole thing black, then gold. Then use enamel to spray the whole thing again. After that, carefully use a cotton bud to wipe the enamel black off on the parts where gold is present.
Simple and fast project. Lots of fun....
C&C welcome.
