Hi guys!

Today I will continue making the piston with the second method. So here are updates on Project Devil Gundam!

Rinse and repeat

This is the part where I grind on making this piston by doing the same steps over and over again.

This is a quick test fit. Unfortunately I am having trouble with the precision of the holes.

And because of that the rods aren't properly align as well.

Adding another layer of pla plates

At this point in time, I don't think my experience is enough to make this sort of modification.

I'm running out of ideas on what could I do to increase the precision of the holes.

Letting cement cure

It's a bit of a shame but I will have to revise the design of the piston a little bit.

The idea is still going to be the same but more simple than this piston with 3 rods.

Drilling the holes

First, I will only use 1 rod for each piston. Although personally I'm not really sure how that will affect the overall structure of the kit when assembled.

Second, since there is only going to be 1 rod I will use a bigger gunpla runer for this one.

Cleaning up

Which is going to be gunpla runer from Neue Ziel.

Third, I will try another different method of combining these pla plates into a piston. I will share this with you tomorrow as I need to experiment first.

So this is my updates for today on this Devil Gundam x Neue Ziel Project.

Keep on building! Keep on steeming! Have a nice day!

Quick access tutorial:

  1. Fixing broken peg using gunpla runer and several tools.
  2. Fixing holes using cement and plastic scraps.
