Gundam 1/100 Astraea Shields

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

I originally put a lot of effort into deigning this but the only thing that's holding me back are the shield arm joints. The ball and socket are great and tight for several days with priming but it will eventually wear out and become loose. I also tried it using a hinge method but it was worse with too many moving parts. I used a variety of flex mix percentage from 0% - 50% but still became loose over time and I just gave up. I eventually just found a decent position and glued them permanently in place. This was designed with a resin printer in mind so if you have a fdm printer, you might have to do a lot of sanding.
