partially sanded the conversion kit, did some minor modification, fully sand the original kit. just need to sand the conversion kit and replace some vernier with g-option parts and should be ready for under first coat!

crits and comments are welcome!!! ( even better , tips and hints!!!!)
did minor angular changes to the head,
1. recess the "night vision" (?)
2. make the "night vision" closer to the head
3. add detail to the mouth piece
4. drill holes on "vent holes" of night vision
5. change angle and slight sanding of "mouth"
6. push "screen" or eye piece further out (1mm i think)

am thinking of making the combat knife for the spartan.... any ideas? or schematic?? cheers ( welcome to comment in 中文！）
any good place to get decal for this spartan.... or is 有heart人 (or decal specialist store in hkml) going to release soon???

overall the experience had been great fun so far, hav not had so much fun assembling a kit for a long long time! thanks again 有heart人  for such great kit!

some WIP for the mouth piece, i just like the short ones better, just personal preference. a bit clumsy, but gets the job done

from 有heart人's sample pic, 看到肩膀的轴心好像向上扬起？
询问有heart人後才知原来另有乾坤！
原以为是复杂的轴心改造，原来可以用原件Parts的小小变动就可以达到，模型的世界真的很有趣呀！
当然有前人的经验分享是最重要的！

update， 肩膀小小的改造。

[ 本帖最後由 seinyat 於 2008-1-4 09:49 AM 編輯 ]

yes, agree, been exploring some ideas in photoshop, might not do all the modification, not sure if some of them hav any impact or not, like the 2 "spike" under the legs is ok, small modification-maximum effect, things like the knee board maybe, the ankle boards seems a bit unnecessary, the use of wave detail parts for the 小腿肚 vernier also seems a bit unnecessary to change as the original seems good enough, just drill holes to make it look deeper. the detail parts on both sides of the knee also seems like personal preference, so might not do it also (partly also excuses for being lazy la )

a bit of update.... not much changes over the weekend, but the small changes demand a lot of work needed to complete the small angle shift of the chest.... darn, its going to be another week of sanding hell... on the up-side, after this there'll be no more major changes!!! hurray!!!!

oops not true, still struggling if i should enlarge the hip thing???? any ideas?
also wanna ask, if anyone knows what are the two cylindrical-thing around the antenna? any body from AFV who can help??? (are they some kind of flare??? )

我估估地都是霧彈/信號彈之類。。。但Not sure，有没有其他（AFV背景也可）前辈可以confirm下？？

tiny little update

any suggestion?
排氣孔移上1mm？ 或？？？
其实排氣孔已经有稍微销薄和挖深了...难道是把它整个换掉？ 对不起，对新手要讲明一点！ sorry...

对我来讲，其实改件本身已好好，是自己手多去改，唯一要向有Heart人complain的是腰间两侧的裙甲而已！

thanks！！
实战中，战车是用它来发射“煙霧",减低视线还是煙霧”彈“，用热能引开D飞弹？？

another tiny little update....

要呀,不过又要等周末,所以进度超慢的
