Sinanju Project Day 3
Day 3
After a long rest I went back, finished the cable armor for the waist and went on to the legs. the 'N' trees were all leg parts, so I simply disassembled those into a pile. It's okay, because with the sinanju left and right limbs are identical internally. Must simplify maintenance. ^.^ I'll clean mold lines and sprue marks as I assemble them.
step 6.1, make sure to take note of the assembly order! oops.
then I went and misplaced N-9, the piston that goes inside the heel assembly. I probably won't cut all the parts out at once next time.
Found it! Was on the sprue the whole time.
Feet are done!
This has one of the most complex armor for legs that I have seen on a mobile suit. 23 individual armor pieces, per leg. Yikes.
The leg mechanism is quite nice, lots of sliding and gliding and such.
Hip has some neat stuff, like how the sockets for the legs can be forward or back independantly. Anyway, it's 2AM and I'm done for the day, after putting together one of those new action bases. The Sinanju comes with a special mounting plate for one of these. Tomorrow, more armor cables! \o/
