MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Ver. Ka mixed with Ver. OYW - WIP

Alright, This is my 4th attempt to put Ver. OYW frame into Ver. Ka kit.
So far I've been able to incorporate the part of OYW frame but this time I'm trying to use the entire frame - from neck to toe so to speak. ^ ^


You see here the OYW frame with its outer armours all removed. You can also see the OYW leg frame with Ver. Ka skin on as test fitting at the top of picture. Although they look similar Ver. Ka and Ver. OYW do not share a single bit of frame and putting Ver. Ka skin onto OYW frame proves to be more of challange...


After bit of playing I've decided to use the OYW face under Ver. Ka helmet to give that big helmet and small face look. -_-;


Here you see the Ver. Ka leg skins with their inside sanded down to fit on the frame.


Here're both foot with OYW frame with Ver. Ka skin. Only the toe sections are from Ver. Ka and the rest are from OYW.


Working on grafting the top sectoin of Ver. Ka torso onto the OYW torso skin. Also some work for more movement with waist. The hatch area also had the middle section sawed out to be replaced with scratched piece.


After bit of head scratching I decided to modify the pelvic area for more greater movement - so it can do high kick! ^ ^

and still in progress...

the next challenge is I'm thinking of extending the leg frame by 6 mm at minimum AND keep the Ver. Ka skin still removable on the extended frame (armour pieces extended accordingly of coz). I've been toying the couple of idea - basically which would be the easiest way to go about. heh

Ok. I replaced the pelvic joint so already have 2.5mm extension there compared to the stock leg frame and also raising the ankle joint on both foot by 1.5mm. Now that's 4mm in total but to get the proportion right I will still need to extend the lower leg section by 1.5-2mm.  Guess time to visit local store for 1.5 and 2mm pla-plates since I ran out of my stock...
