▲ Bau appeared as the first variant kit of the RE / 100 series!
As the latest work of RE / 100 series, "RE / 100 Bow" released in November. It is not only for the first time to create a gundam model at 1/100 scale, but Hiroshi Imaizu, who specializes in adding gimmicks with precision machining, will produce this kit that draws attention even by having the first deformation mechanism in the series!
Enjoy the technology that can also be referred to as the "royal road" of Promeglass, such as gradation paint gathered at a high level and the hand made by the wrist! Let's start by looking at the examples !!

RE / 100 Bow
■ Introduction
This time I made a new product of RE / 100, Bau. This series also came up to the sixth work, but because of maniac product development and simple parts composition, there are plenty of room to add, and it is a secretly favorite series personally. Bow has already been commercialized in HGUC, so the maniac degree is slightly lower, but it became a kit with a good feeling arrangement. So we decided to produce it immediately.
▲ This time we will send you about the work!
Head
Add plaster board to the tip of Tosaka, machining to sharpness by scraping. If these parts are stuck as they are, it is easier to remove the adhesive surface, so first cut off the part side by 2 to 3 mm and paste the plastic plate there, the bonding surface will increase and it will be difficult to remove, so it is recommended.
The camera eye was shaved off and replaced with commercially available lens parts with aluminum tape on the back. Also, the power pipe has a wider intervals of streaks compared with objects in other parts (forearm / knee back), and because it felt somewhat unbalanced, add another streak between each streak carving and set the density It increased.
▲ The head sharp cuts down Tosaka and converts the mono eye to commercial parts. It adds a streak carving of a power pipe.
▲ Kit Framework Photograph.
■ Fuselage
The duct on the side of the chest has seams of parts at the bottom, but it is used as detailed streak carving without erasing. I added a streak carving also in the inside of the duct in the front so as to fit this. Front armor is separable left and right by classic, making it movable independently.
Arm
As for the specification of the kit, it is configured "to remove the wrist at the time of deformation" (After removing it, rotate the base and turn the duct-like mold to the front so that things like connection leaving the hole unoccupied Although it is not.
The other part is deformed perfectly without replacement, etc., this is a bit disappointing impression. However, if the yellow grenade bullet unit gabbally opens, will the wrist enter into the forearm by turning with the wrist on? I thought, so I was awesome so I tried to perfect deformation. First of all, as I tried to size the inside of the forearm, I found that the top part of the wrist fits well in both length and breadth, so I scrape down the frame that is going to get in the way.
Originally the kit doubles as a possession of weapons, because it only comes with a wrist grip-like wrist, so the storage part on the forearm plus the finger part doubling as good looking from the polypate. While fits inside the forearm, I tried miniaturizing my fingers to the point where I can not see it funny when I am in the form of a mobile suit. From the relationship of retraction during storage, the position of the thumb was placed on the side rather than on the front side of the index finger to reduce the thickness of the entire wrist part.
The unit of the grenade is carefully cut off from the connection part of the wrist, and it is an arm made from the plaque material by hand and connected with the elbow near the elbow and the poly runner so as to be movable. I think that it is easy to understand when I look at the photos on the way of the parts composition etc around here.
▲ One of the points of the example, storage of the wrist. First of all, the unit of the grenade bullet with the movable shaft opened opens up.
▲ Then, using the rotation mechanism of the wrist base of the kit, it will be stored inside the forearm without removing the wrist.
▲ If you return the unit of the grenade bullet to its original position, storage is completed without removing the wrist!
▲ The finger part is made by the polypate. In the recent example, there are fewer to see, but it is a technique I would like you to challenge by all means to upgrade your skills.
▲ Arm configuration of the forearm. Please pay attention to the position of the rotating shaft of the grenade bullet unit and how to cut the frame.
■ Legs
A small vernier on the inner side of the snake is slightly sweet for the convenience of shaping, so it is difficult to paint differently as it is, so I made a drill cut and made another part. Made it like a pipe-like part and a plastic material on the market and bonded it from the back side after painting.
▲ The vernier on the inner side of the leg is cut off and made into separate parts for easy painting.
■ Weapons · others
The rifle replaces the sensor part with a commercially available lens part as well as a mono eye. In the shield, the inside of the firing mouth of the five gate mega particle guns, the two on both sides are also shallow because the mold is shallow due to the shaping convenience, so cut out from the other kit parts Launch part of the deep mold Insert and bond (Suimasen in refurbished example hard to reference). It seems that similar items can be easily made with combinations of commercially available vernier parts, so it might be better to recommend it.
▲ The lens part of the beam rifle is converted to commercial parts as well as mono eye.
▲ The right side is kit element. In order to clarify the mold of the outer two mega particle cannons of the shield, the inner one was cut and transplanted. However, since this kit requires two kits, it may be better to finish it like a commercial part.
▲ It is a shield in a completed state.
The work edition becomes here so far. Next time we will send you about painting and finishing.
