Fixing my compressor

my MG GN-X was delay so long from completion is all due to this compressor.. i think i mention before in some previous post.. the switch and the screw position.. that give me lot of problem.. so now i figured out some solution and fix it.. but too bad.. after fixing these two problem.. another problem arise which will end the life of this pity little compressor..

well.. share some info that how i fix it..

first problem come from the switch.. i guess the the pin inside the switch have loose.. so i try to put some glue to fix it but it seems fail.. so..

Bought some other stuff to make some changes on the wiring.. i don't know what called this tool.. i forget its name.. i just call it the heat pen.. haha.. and the tin.. those material that use to make can..

1 is related to the problem of the switch.. first i cut off the wire that connect in between the switch and the motor.. leave the switch alone and connect the black wire direct to the port of blue wire so that electricity can flow directly without going through the switch.. now.. no more switch that off my compressor.. once i switch on the plug and the compressor will on itself.. but this can be dangerous.. remember not connect any wire or the compressor to any plug to prevent shock by electric while doing this.. the tin and the heat pen is use to seal the connection like glue.. so.. problem for switch fix..

2 and 3 regarding on the screw.. the original screws have removed due to can't provide strong grip which will make motor can't produce enough pressure for the air.. so i change to a longer screw to lock the motor properly.. the length of the screw? see the next picture.. it can be said fix on this problem but the screw will loosen up again due to the movement of the motor.. and the heat that created from the motor is melting the grip for the screw due to the poor quality plastic for this compressor's casing..

well... regarding to the motor and screw.. because i need to lock tight the motor with long screw.. the motor eventually stay contact to the casing.. when the motor work too long.. the heat that created is actually melting the casing and in the same time.. casing which give the grip to the screw will also loosen up.. "the surgery seems successful but the body can't hold long for the organ".. so it will still going to die soon.. zzz

guess i'm really need to spend some money for new compressor soon.. the seller got the stock but i don't have the money for it.. BROKE!!!

Injection Kit ARX-7 Arbalest

alright.. since this kit looks like quite simple to build.. i decided to try get it done before i sleep yesterday.. it took me 2 hours to complete with some WIP's photos..

lets start with the box..



from the box.. some color guide can be learn..
one page of manual?.. two runners?.. and no number on runners.. so have to always refer back to the manual to get the right part.. what a joke.. the runner can use back as stand.. mm.. i like that..
notice anything?.. haha. those legs and tights have empty space in the middle and got no cover on it.. so .. filling in the putty to make it nice is a must.. must learn on putty..
don't underestimate two runners with one page of manual.. this kit does have lot of parts.. and this picture is for the arm unit.. as you can see. it using ball joint for ALL the joints.. and it quite hard to fit in the ball as well.. my finger damn pain when i'm building it..
the body is simple.. enough detail for the head unit as well.. but painting on it will be difficult..
upper part done..
parts for the legs.. looks simple right.. but connecting all ball joint.. you will cry if you don't have a proper tools which i don't know what tool should i use..
TA DA!!!.. the only bad part for the articulation is the tight.. even though it doesn't have any skirt armor but the upper part of the tight is too big and got block by the abdomen.. ..
freeeeeezeee!!!.. note that the palm will come in four types.. the normal palm.. left and right.. than.. additional right arms that holding the shotgun and knife.. so.. basically the left palm is useless.. i was thinking will there any manipulator for this?? XD..
overall.. the kit require lot of work to make it nice.. and those ball joints that expose out can't be cover but there are few things i like this kit is the articulation is awesome.. proportion of all part are accurate.. the design of arbalest.. my favorite.. one last thing need to know about this kit is those joint in between parts are fragile and not come in the right size (connector too big for the hole).. so it will create some seamlines which need glue to fix it..

i will try to share more on this kit when i paint it..

June loot part 2

haha.. got it on yesterday..

-HGUC Stark Jegan
-HG CGUE
-Injection kit Arbalest

the first two kit was in my plan for "get it".. but i saw the injection kit of arbalest and it selling for about RM 30.. so.. curious about it and get it for fun.. for such size of box.. i can't expect much but from product descriptions.. those joint are support by a lot of ball joints and it make the kit well articulated but have to paint the entire kit myself since it doesn't come with any colors..

hope the part 3 coming soon.. and these are my reason that explain why i'm broke now..

MG GN-X WIP 10 part 2

alright.. i know i have been quite slow on posting this few weeks.. well.. have handle some part time job arrangement.. and i will be free soon..

ok.. back to this kit.. continue from the part 10.. finally finish painting the inner frame.. just before my compressor went into critical condition.. currently the compressor was in comma.. have to fix it back soon..


the part that is hard to paint for me is the leg.. large.. lots of hidden surface.. glad that it went pretty well..

to be continue..

MG GN-X WIP 10

alright.. back to GN-X again.. this time is on the paint job for the inner frame.. still left the legs, weapon and feet to done..

well.. i was planning to use silver chrome for the frame at first.. but after seeing Sd Bashee Unicorn from Keita and Falke from Full Metal Panic series.. i'm thinking on some dark color scheme.. which may have some red color.. like what you seen from tsuki's color scheme on his MG GN-X.. so.. i paint the inner frame with Mr.color black steel that mix with Gaia black.. the result is quite nice.. i always been expecting for glossy surface.. like what i saw before the paint dry.. but the paint turn the mat surface after it dry.. so.. should i make it gloss with gloss coat? i'm still thinking on it as i worry that i may spoil the entire paint job and decal because i never coat any painted kit before.. i may buy the gloss coat but have to try before the actual application..





one thing is i didn't paint the entire part on some parts as those area will actually cover by the armor and i'm not planning to make a photo with inner frame show off..




alright.. till here..

the process on this kit may delay till next week as my compressor starting to give me trouble again.. it is in critical condition as the switch is spoil.. then the foundation of the screw had been loosen till i can't even lock one of the main part in the compressor.. have to fix it to continue the process on this kit.. if it die.. it will become my experiment or study on the structure of tiny compressor.. haha.. and i found a alternative tool for it.. the balloon blower which i can only borrow it next week..

to be continue..
