Jason, im building the NiceN/ Rolando pattern. I looked into scratching it, but its too much for me to bite off buddy as a full scratch.
Basically, im replacing a HUGE percentage of the donor parts laid on the resin. I even went as far to cut off one of the Tri eyes the other day as it was pretty off (and a little scuffed) and that went great, looks much better.
For the eyes, hmm, not sure what im doing yet, but my one thought, was to have the lenses pulled in Polycarbonate, painted from the inside, and applied over the existing.
Thing is though, the props lenses, are just paint, and, not much better than the actual kit, so im on the fence there, maybe just a lot of smoothing, and a good good of gloss black.
Legs, well, id like articulate ones, but i struggle to draw on the computer TBH to make up a set for laser cutting.
As for leg media, i thing alloy is very cool, but not really worth the cost, plexi would work perfectly seeing as they take no load.
If somebody is up for drawing them, id sure pool funds in if a run was arranged Jason?
Failing that, ill just carry on modding the hell out of the head and body, till i can teach myself to draw them up in a 2D file.
Oh and it seems there are a few parts missing on the prop today from the underskirt, mainly on the Tamiya M16 array.
Ill get a build thread up sometime soon, itll be slow, theres a lot to be shaved off and replaced.
