Allrighty, more Hazel pics 4U! It's my birthday today too, I'm 30! (ack!) I managed to spend some quality time on my Hazel conversion in the last couple of days, and was able to build the chest armor, which I've been worried about my ability to actually build. This was made even more difficult by the fact that I broke down and bought the MG Alex, and kept looking at the MG parts and thinking "I could just cast this instead"! But I restrained myself, and only used it for some measurements, didn't even take it off the sprue. Here are some pictures:

As usual, there's still some cleanup to do, but this is pretty close to finished. The orange dots in the chest vents are the halftoned printing from the garage sale sign plastic I'm using. The ink is quite thick, and you can see the texture of the dots, so I thought I'd try to use them to add some implied detail to the vents (not sure if they'll still show up after priming). Next up are the feet, which I've already built the CAD models for...
I'm also working hard on my warning marking decal sheet, the Ultimate Zeon sheet, and decals for PG AEUG Gundam Mk-II and RX-78.
