Devil Gundam: Thigh Scratch Building [Leg Modification - Part 16]

Hi guys!

Today I will start building the thigh based on the connector I finished yesterday. So here are updates on Project Devil Gundam!

The idea is very simple. The connector I finished yesterday will be the inner support for the thigh.

And I will cement the pla plates I've prepared previously for making the thigh to the connector.

I need to make a hole on the other side of the thigh in order to make the connector to work.

So by using simple measurement I can pin point where the hole should be. Then start drilling from there and check if the hole is properly align every time.

As usual I start by marking the spot using scribing pen so the drill will have extra grip.

Then using the smallest drill size I have, I started drilling the hole.

And since I don't to redo this later, I check if the middle of the new hole is properly align with the center of the polycap.

I've used the biggest drill bit size I have but the hole still not big enough. So the next size with be manually filed.

Also, I didn't forget to check if the hole and the polycaps were properly align.

Because when you increase the drill bit and doing it by hands you might slightly shift the center of the hole.

Using a circle template I scribed a bigger circle around the hole.

I tried to get as deep as possible and finish the rest of the hole using file instead of the scribing pen itself.

Because scribing pen isn't the best tool to cut through a pla plate, specially thick one like this. So I will mark where the actually circle should stop and manually file the circle later.

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!
