After a few weeks' "hiatus" (ok...I swallowed my pride this time) I have finally finished my Sandrock.
I based the look of the Sandrock on the manual of 1/144 Sandrock custom. In my opinion, it is much better than the one pictured on 1/100's manual.
Just love those huge....curvy............heat shortels. I borrowed my father's slightly used Pylox silver spray can for the shortels.
I didn't able to make Quatre's eyes right...he looks like Sailormoon in a new hair-do.
Since this isn't a master grade, I did not bother coming up with dynamic poses. Aerial poses isn't Sandrock's strong point either.
Instead of having a plain gray cloak, I decided to add a little brownish tone to it. I used the remaining gray and brown poster colors on the palette...soaked the whole cape in it (i used the spray can's cap to mix the poster colors) then waited for it to dry. I used a pair of scissors to add tear at the bottom edges of the cape.
I was tempted to use ballpen caps for the thrusters (something I learned from gmtristan.com link here: http://gmtristan.com/china-blitz-gundam-1100/) but I'm not particularly good at modding. I thought I will only mess things up if I only super glued the caps in place, so I decided to just spray it Pylox silver.
