WIP2::1/60 ASTRAY BLUEFRAME 2ND REVISE (PG REDFRAME SB CONVERSION)

Finally , get back and start working on this PG blue frame conversion since 2 weeks ago , after a 2mths off due to sidetracked to Ma.K and tired after daily jobs ( synonyms : lazy )  :P

Continue the SB of  Tactical Arm -

The main frame structure.

This gun barrel will need to duplicate 4 times.

an overview when side blade mirrored.

The Tactical Arm sword guard & handle

Spending almost 1hrs figuring the size & drawing on the 2mm plaplate.

And get the shape out from the plaplate is torturing my fingers.

Done with the basic structure of the sword guard 

and the Handle

Sword guard & handle assembled

And the most up to date progress - Booster engine

Fin layered by 2+1.2+1.2mm plaplate .

 With recast consideration, the hinge joint designed with open catch .

 The 2 troublesome curvy profile truster exhaust.

Another open catch joint, strengthen with pins.

 booster engine basic construction overall view.

 Test fit to the sword guard.

The multiple angled hinge arm - this one really time consuming as i cant really find a rod with right dimension..

Finally cut the blade into half n config as on backpack mode. 
Sadly , i cant have a joint to make this transformable without detach the 2 parts due to casting mold release issue.

 so far, the Tactical arm over all view.

That's ll for now , till next update :)
