A<br \/>\nsleek looking OF that has a Geisha-style to it. It&#8217;s a beautiful<br \/>\ndesign even though it has that standard &#8220;cockpit&#8221;.<br \/>\nBelow and to the right are a few images of the design. These<br \/>\nare actually all I have to go off of aside from a few bad<br \/>\nscreen captures to sculpt this. The versions on my HD are<br \/>\nmuch larger than what you see here.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"anInprogImage\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fichtenfoo.com\/images\/02ColorSchemes\/ardjet-large.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"449\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"anInprogImage\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fichtenfoo.com\/images\/prog-ardjet\/lineart-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"313\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"anInprogImage\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fichtenfoo.com\/images\/prog-ardjet\/lineart-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"subhead\">11.15.2006 \u00c2\u00bb Construction<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a few shots of what I&#8217;ve done so far.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m using a styrene and metal frame and sculpting it mostly<br \/>\nfrom Majic Sculpt and Aves Apoxy Sculpt.

Before I can start the<br \/>\ndetailing, I first need to get the basic shape of the unarmored<br \/>\nbody down and smoothed out. I&#8217;ve been slowly bulking up the<br \/>\nupper legs and butt, shaped the shoulders, neck, and back,<br \/>\nadded more definition to the breasts, and more ods and ends.<br \/>\nI decided that to get the shape of the upper legs and lower<br \/>\ntorso right that this would need to be fix-posed. So there&#8217;s<br \/>\nthe pose based on the image at the top right of this page.<br \/>\nMore progress soon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"anInprogImage\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fichtenfoo.com\/images\/prog-ardjet\/ardjet-05.jpg\" border=\"1\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"147\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"anInprogImage\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fichtenfoo.com\/images\/prog-ardjet\/ardjet-06.jpg\" border=\"1\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"309\" \/><\/p>\n\n<!-- Facebook Like Button v1.9.6 BEGIN [http:\/\/blog.bottomlessinc.com] -->\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Ffichtenfoo.net%2Fblog%2Fin-progress-%25c2%25bb-orbital-frame-ardjet%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;font=trebuchet+ms\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height: 30px; align: left; margin: 2px 0px 2px 3px\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- Facebook Like Button END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11.15.2006\u00c2\u00bb Concepts Zone of the Enders and ZOE2 The Second Runner (Anubis) are my favorite giant robot video games.
