I started building this Sinanju a bit ago - but had to put everything on hold for a bit waiting for parts. I am using a lot of mechaskunk parts, but I am also using a set of HQO set of metal/brass turned thrusters, head cannons, energy cable links and other tid bits specifically made for this kit. So far, the fit is PERFECT!
Here is the completed head and torso. I stayed with traditional colors on this one - except instead of black and gold I used german gray and brass. The brass needs some work still....sadly, it looks perfect in person, but the macros setting on a 8 mega pixel camera reveals a lot of flaws. I specifically did not want a smooth finish on the brass and went for a more textured approach. Although you cant really see the eye - I used a mechaskunk 1/144 green jewel eye with a metal socket. You can only see it from certain angles.
The decals are Bandai and mechaskunk
The backpack - first stage - main metal thrusters (these suckers are huge and with brass turn rings they are HEAVY
backpack "wings" and smaller thrusters
began working on the fuel pods - I used a slightly pearl white instead of regular Tamiya pure white - as you can see the effects are subtle, but I like it. Those main pod seam lines were a B----CH to fill and sand, fill and sand lol
I also robbed a Unicorn gun - I love the way that thing looks - might use it for Sinanju
and various other tidbits
