Wing Zero Project Update

After the my initial return to this project, the model looked like this:

Test fit as of December 12, 2004

Beam Rifle:The kit includes parts to build the beam rifle as a single, twin beam rifle. The halves can be separated, but building them as two separate rifles requires additional work: so I made some changes.

V-Fin:

I rebuilt the V-Fin completely from scratch. I used a Kotobukiya rectangular nozzle part to make the centerpiece, and built the antennae out of sheet styrene and polyester putty.

Parts and comparisonTest fitOriginal head and antennae, for comparison

Shoulder Armor:

I wanted the shoulder armor to have smoother curves. The kit parts are a little boxy in places.
