Entry to the Gundam Eclipse "5" Group Build
Let's take a look of the kit first...
Rubber track, but with slot in tabs
each wheel has an axle, but...
....it's not designed to roll, every section of track has these non-movnig wheels...
How it fit on the axle, it seems that there are room to mod the wheels.
Fortunately, the rubber track is thermoplastic elastomer, and it react with polycement. this means I can splice the tracks into continous loop.
Tiny little 4 x 7 x 3mm wheel bearings....
The wheels are drilled out and bearings are fitted in.
then.... suddenly... the "5" theme for my entry revealed to me without any thought of my own...
Ta-dah! 5-in-1!. Of course, each section will need a weapon...
...and that's where Kotobukiya's MSG weapon sets comes in!
Next, LED for the mono-eye. Pink is used, and it's VERY bright. a sectino of the torso is hollowed out for the battery holder.
Prelimary loadout completed.
Everything looks good except for the gatling gun. it's just too oversize. So next is to try the Unicorn Gundam beam gatling guns...
