Currently migrating from tengs.fotopic.net to this blog. Please feel free to criticize or comment on my modeling work. Basically I learnt all my modeling skills from modeling forum and by asking people who do modeling. I had started modeling since 2005 but only completed a few kits.... will pick up a proper modeling course when time permits. Right now for this blog, I will only put up the WIP pics for HGUC Z-Gok cause it will be very tedious for me to load up all WIP for other kits. I will just load up the completed part for the archives. Thanks for visiting my blog...

HGUC Z-Gok/WIP/LED Installation

- LED installation, Push Button Concept -

--

LED installing......my favourite part....for this portion there are a few areas that you need to take note. Implementing the 2 "S" : Size and Space....You need a "LED" of the size shown below and a push button that is small enough for you to accomplish what you intend.

--

- LED -

- glue the LED on the mono eye -

- the orange piece act as the push button -

--

- push button -

- push button location which is made out of placard

and brass rod -

- mod on the orange piece, the placard extension is
secured by very fine brassrod and superglued, a
hole is drilled on the placard so that it can be
secured, see later pic -

- the orange piece is secured by the brass rod, it
actually acts as a pivot for the push button -

- push button secured with super glue -

- cut out a plastic sheet from the CPU Fan box to make

a battery compartment -

--

- the final design of the battery compartment, a
tape is stick on the battery for removal purpose -

--

- Messy setup for the wiring, luckily there are all hidden -

- LED Testing -

- Mod done and ready for testing -

- Short clip on mod testing -

- Mod. on the mono eye position -

- My forum mate (Acguy4ever) had suggested maybe I should reposition the eye by the side to give it a fiercer look. Indeed it look better after the mod -

- Drill a hole by the side and covered the initial
hole by using placard and super glue -

- Mission accomplished! -
