Rapid prototyping is traditionally done using 3D Printers, hence why you can see thin lines and ridges like fingerprints on prototype parts, denoting the layers that were stacked on top of each other as the piece was formed.

For the record. Anyone wondering why bandai doesn't do more colour separations in the plastics, needs to realize that, making metal molds is expensive. It can cost up to half a million dollars for a mold.(Depending on size and complexity) Even modifying a mold, can run thousands of dollars. Chrome plating, etc... The fact that the kits only cost as much as they do, is surprising. Edit: Slowly working on modding my HGs to run leds. Age 2 eye piece mold: Gonna cast the eye/beard piece in clear. Paint in the areas I don't want to have light show though. This is the piece that's inside.(I have the age 2 normal and double bullet to modify) It's so small, I'm not gonna bother to make a two piece mold. Just pour in clear resin and sand it to the correct shape and size. Last edited by Providenceangle; 2013-03-21 at 14:01. |

Oh yeah, Double Bullet, and here I was scared they weren't going to do one. Just a bit of a shame I recently picked up the high grade. Oh well, it'll look good next to the Zeydra at least which most certainly will not get a master grade to go with the Age 2.
So, guess they aren't as done with Age as I thought which is cool. Now, I shall go back to praying for a Providence in vain on the hope this bodes well for another Seed master grade or two. |

Told you it's only a matter of time . Still, will the MG shoulder strong enough to support the weapons in dynamic poses? It might become loose and droopy over time just like MG Titus' shoulders.
