Journal

Stage 8 (Posted 2nd May 2010) LAST HURDLE RARRGHHH! So it was a bad idea to leave the legs/wings until the las three weeks but school work's to blame, right?! |
|
Stage 7 (Posted 28th January 2010) Wing Zero has risen frm the ashes... of hiatus. After more than a 'few' months of inactivity, I'm happy to say that the project is back on track! I'm working on it as much as I can in between of A Levels/exams/part time job to get it finished by May's Expo. The whole upper body is pretty much finished, all's left are the legs, feet and wings. Huzzah! |
|
Stage 6 (Posted 17th August 2009) The head is finished :) It has gone from looking like a Spartan helmet to Master Chief to a Stormtrooper to finally... a Gundam head! The torso is also nearing completion and so are the wing frames. |
|
Stage 5 (Posted 21st June 2009) You have no idea how much I hate circuiting. But it's all done with, they light up when I speak. Time to implant these in the chest :) Wing frame's finished. |
|
Stage 4 (Posted 12th June 2009) With the lovely help from the experienced Companion_Cube and K4tt, I'm going to try my hand at circuting LEDs to the eyes and chest so that when I speak/noise is caused they will illuminate. The threshold decibel level will be adjusted so that the generall hubbub of Expo won't cause it to be constantly illuminated. I've ordered all the components needed for circuting, eee I can't wait to apply the Physics that I've learnt from 6th form into a Gundam project! Now the total expenditure has been bumped up to £148 - I will be expect the final cost to be £200 since I still have to buy latex and paint :P The wing frame is looking good so far, it's not as heavy as I predicted it would be and I trust that it's strong enough for me not to worry about them breaking due to the weight of the wings themselves. Pretty good for cardboard I have to say! |
|
Stage 3 (Posted 6th June 2009) 15 sheets of plastazote arrived two days ago; I grinned in glee and got to work. The centre torso mainframe is finished, it's purposefully made small (and bodyhugging) so when I build pieces on top of it it won't end up being overly huge and out of proportion. Photos when I've done more work to it otherwise you'll be spammed with worthless progress photos XD Left glove's finished, right glove is on it's way (I have to do THAT all over again?! It's starting to bore me!) |
|
Stage 2 (Posted 1st June 2009) £110 worth of plastazote has been ordered! First rifle has been completed! (constructed, weighted, latexed, painted, detailed) Second rifle on it's way. Left hand on it's way. |
|
Stage 1 (Posted 28th May 2009) Twin rifles construction begun, got as far as making the inner mainframe and layering plastazote on the outside but then I poured hot glue all over my left palm by accident and now I have a second degree burn :C I can't do anything with my hand in this state so all construction is brought to a halt. |
|
Planning Stage (Posted 27th May 2009) - 36 ultra bright green LEDs to illuminate the chestpiece pending order. |

GOOD LORD PHEEBS! O_O

Ganbatte! I want posed fight photos! xD
0.0 Trying really really hard not to over-squee here but it's so difficult. This was my favourite anime ever and it's the reason I got into anime and manga. What you've done so far is amazing! I saw the hand on the home page and was literally bouncing in my seat with joy! Good luck with this! ^_^
that gun is fucking awesome 0.o
cannot wait to see the rest of the costume!!!! ^.^

O_O The epic is overpowering,
GOOD LUCK!
I love Gundam Wing! 8D I'm sure this is going to look amazing!
Great work so far!!
I'MA FLY YOU.
Oh yeah, two things. are you gonna do battle damage on yours? Also, have you thought about how you're going to do the sphere in the chest? When I made Nanoha's Staff, I bought some clear acryllic baubles (comes in two parts, snap together) spray painted the inside, and mounted that LED unit we talked about inside the sphere. You can probably do something similar, ie spraying the inside of the half sphere green, and have the LEDs behind. That way, you're not limited to just green LEDs and you can introduce some nice effects too depending on the different colours of LEDs.
I'll have to PM you my progress so far.
Anyway, good luck on the rest of the build. Can't wait to see the finished prototype. ^__^
Keep up the great work!
I have considered battle damage, I will consider in more depth when it comes to the painting stage.
Mhm that was my plan, I've left the acrylic clear for now so when the LEDs are done I can see what sort of glow it gives.
Definitely update me with your progress :D
My dear Robin, I am glad to see your new anti Sheriff armor is coming along splendidly! I shall not fear for my safety whenever I am by your side this coming May!
OH MA GOD this is so awesome i must have a photo with you and Wing Gundam Zero is my favourite overall !!
that looks fantastic
This will be beyond amazing!
Progress looks so good Pheebs!!!!
(Y)
your WIP helmet is looking great so far ^__^
I still haven't got round to buying any of that zote stuff, but as you already know, I'm trying hard to avoid it until absolutely necessary.
Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more progress ^__^

I like the "quick photo" update. it's all starting to come together pretty well now. which makes me think, how on earth am I supposed yo catch up now ;p ;p
Keep up the great work as usual ^__^
Have to admit this is going to be a *liiiitttlle* impressive. ;)
How are you doing it? Is that Plastazote? Looks fantastic! You and Xaeraela (can never spell his name! XD) are super awesome at this stuff. :D
Your light up circuit thing has given me ideas for cogsworth. I hope you don't mind if I borrow it for him? You can both have darlek like conversations with each other lighting up.
Tab
Of course Tab, but the credit really should go to k4tt here on cosplayisland since it was he who had the original idea of voice activated LEDs and the original sources of materials.
GO PHEEBS GO 8D
HLY SHIT! This is looking awesome! Have fun doing the wings :P
this is looking EPIC XD
Really coming along well ^.^ and looks just rawksome!
Looking real good there.
Is that the final piece you're using for the front, or did you just use that as a compare to see what it would look like?
I have some spare Clear Acrylic Spheres if you need any
Wow *_* its looking so amazing!!
It's looking more and more epic each time you update the photos ^__^
I really need to get cracking with mine too :S
Keep up the awesome work!!

The kitchen floor is busy being covered with acrylic paint pots, cutting mats, X-Acto knives (oops, shouldn't really leave these lying around!) and various pieces of plastazote ;__;
AWESOME! It's coming along so well =D Nice going.
Lol yes Pheebs, take your own advice and stop leaving knives on the floor >_<

It was an absolute honour meeting and posing with you. Props for suiting up on both days. Just goes to show how incredibly well made your cosplay is ;)
Utterly incredible, can't wait for the final pics.
It was great to see this in person - great costume, well done :-)
Thank you guys for the fun times I had over the past weekend. Final photos will be put up later :)
I saw you when Cosplayfever photographer pulled us away, I was the one with the MASSIVE scythe, i really wanted to get a photo but i couldnt get anyone to hold my scythe to ask you if you wanted me to do a shoot for you like i wanted too sweetheart ):
Really gutted i didnt get any photo's and i didnt even get a chance to talk to you
But you looked really really awesome!
<33 *was in awe*
This was simply amazing.
You are absolutely incredible. The Gundam was beautiful, and kudos to you and your spotters for surviving such a busy Expo! Watching you go up the steps at the masquerade was kind of scary lol.
You far exceeded any expectations anyone had for this. I'm just speechless. You're the most determined person I know, this is phenomenal! To see this in person was a fantastic experience.
You really did look absolutely incredible.
When i saw you, carefully, walking up the stairs for the masqurade i was blown away (and scared you wouldn't be able to get up the stairs)
Every part of your cosplay was stunning.
and as Pez said, well done for surviving such a busy expo (y)
two words PURE WIN
Pheebs this blew my mind! Its too freaking epic!
I wanted to say hi but you seemed so busy. Really a very big well done to you though!
Absolutely wonderful! It was amazing seeing this in person and great to see it on the Sunday too!
SO SO SO EPIC! <3
Really amazing work =) Really glad I got to see this in person! x
Wicked costume, Great to see someone (two someones even with K4tt) finish a Gundam costume in the UK
Excellent. I saw you on stage..looked awesome.
SO EPIC!!!!! you looked amazing on stage too =D
Hey there ^^
Yes I was at the travel lodge by the airport but I wasn't with my mum XD I was with my girlfriend and four friends from home and ireland =) You looked amazing btw! Was it hot to wear? x_x
-Phi
Completely, Absolutely, Totally depressed that I didn't get to see Peedam/Gunpee!!
OTL OTL OTL OTLLLLL
This was so awesome!!! I really love it, you must be have been so hot in it both days :( very big well done!!!
yea awesome job, this was really sick. was cool to see this in person and glad that you wernt living at the glue gun desk like me lol
You were totaly awesome, Its a great costume.
Kudos for wearing it for so long on both days.
Did they let you keep the game? :B
No because I didn't have a Xbox 360, only a PS3 :(
this was insane! i can't believe how little and cute you were in there! you were one of my favorites. i feel like you should have won. :)
You did a fantastic job on this! I missed May expo but saw these photos coming up on facebook and actually thought someone had brought an actual model in!
@AmethystEyes: LOOOL noooo I assure you that I am standing inside it XD;
@Kitsune Cosplay UK: Aww thank you, yes I am actually rather dinky and small when not kitted up in a mecha suit :P
@everyone else: It was rather airy actually, it's a little warm with the helmet on but once the helmet comes off it's fine. My legs... my shoulders... I can't move them even today!
u cosplay was an so amazing is so sad u selling it but was great to see u again
I would be very interested in buying the plastazote!
I will text you tomorrow about it. :)
Was seriously impressed by this costume:3 Shame you're pulling out of the Expo scene... Although I'm not sure how you're supposed to top Wing Zero XD
Great work!
mesmerising O.o
Cheers everybody for the feedback. Kinda wish I was still making new cosplays so I can improve on this one but it'll have to do :D
Congratulations on the award Pheebs! ^__^
:DDDD This was amazing! I saw you at Expo <3
simply amazing o_o
this was amazing!! i was suprised to see how little you were inside that huge costume!!! fantastic work!
This is so epic. I love the finished costume.
WOW!
This is simply amazing!
I remember seeing you in this!! It was awesome!! ^^
Amazing costume i'd love to do an EW group with you and K4TT would be awesome as my Deathsycthe is in the works :]
Woah, that's an insane costume! I can't believe you're in there - I can't even picture how you must be posed within the suit! So cool, and I can't believe you did it on such a small budget (comparatively).
Sweet Mother Of God this is a walking piece of Art i want to steal you ;D
