>>5895452thank you, i'll look into what kits my local hobby stores have.
that's an interesting point about saving money by taking longer on each gunpla kit. i'm just starting to mess around with customs too, so that will probably save more money/time.
how do people usually draft and plan their customs? i've been planning the changes i want to make with blutac and thick paper cut to represent plaplate.
i'm currently converting a man rodi into a gunman from gurren lagann, but i'm havig trouble filling the cavity where the head once was. i'm thinking either a plaplate lattice which conforms to the contours, or some sort of air drying clay or similar kneadable material i can sculpt.
problem is i want the piece that fills the cavity to be removeable so that i can transform the gunman, aka adding a head and buffing/extending the limbs a bit. any suggestions? i think a standard neck PC could be used to secure the filler?
