+====== Maschinen Krieger Luna Gans ======
 This is another design from the Maschinen Krieger universe, modified by the artist 'Three Triangle'. It's not an exact duplicate of the Wave/Hasegawa model, but pretty close and definitely 'in spirit' of the design.

+It's **big!**
+I've had to make extra supports for the legs, since the weight of the resin is clearly way more than their resin construction can cope with. These will be built up into structures that appear to be extra coilover suspension units using brass tubing and coiled wire, just like the fixed resin parts above the knee joints.
+**[Update - 23rd July 2021]** - Primed all of the individual parts, plus those that have had filler applied to see what other work needs doing:

+I'm happy with the seam on the two central sections, the lower hull looks okay too, the only bit that needs a little more work is the head, and it is mainly the underside and a small section on the rear. A small amount of work with a finer file should resolve it.
+**[Update - 1st August 2021]** - Final primer and pre-shading of all the parts, ready for base colour to be applied //(which will probably be a light grey or off-white)//:

+All the major parts are drilled and ready to be glued and pinned at this point, so there shouldn't be any drilling needed once the final paint colours are applied. I'm using the technique I use with most of my Gundam models, in that I'm leaving all of the sub-components seperate and painting them before assembling. Weathering etc will be done once the model is fully assembled, but I learned from painting the first 3D resin print, the [[:blog:models_friedrich_lfs03b|Ma.K Friedrich]] that my airbrush and detailing techniques don't lend themselves to fine control on assembled models!
+**[Update - 4th August 2021]** - Applied an //initial// shading layer (MIG Ammo, Light Grey) to the lower hull, head (bottom half only) and one of the legs:

+These will get some lighter highlights and then some mid-grey camo patterns added.
