1/24 Masterpiece Jazz, finished!

Jarrod · 05-31-2010, 09:35 PM

Well, here he is, totally finished. Beware, lots of pics ahead!

For anyone who may have missed the WIP thread, or just don't remember, Jazz was created using the torso, arms and head from Alternator Jazz, Taimya's 1/24 Martini Porsche 935 Turbo kit, and Bandai's MG RX-78-3 G3 Gundam Ver 2.0 kit for most of the legs, the skirt, hands and gun, and whole lotta styrene.

Jazz was painted using Tamiya Pure White spray, Model Master Semi-Gloss Black, Krylon Silver, and a dark gunmetal mix of my own for knee joints and vents. Additional small details were done in Tamiya Silver and Clear Red, Blue and Yellow. The chrome accents were done using Bare-Metal Foil, and the decals were all provided with the kit.

I'm going to spread the pics out in multiple posts.

**Make sure to check out all the extra thumbnailed pics too!**

Transformation:

Start by unpegging the roof from the rear windows, then seperate the rear halves

Open doors, fold seats forward slightly, and begin to unfold legs at the knee(right leg has been mostly transformed already, see below for left leg)

Straighten out the knee:

Unfold, and clip heal parts together, then slide rear window into the foot:

Swing shin/foot part open, and rotate entire foot assembly around

Close shin and swing foot down into place and peg.

The rest is pretty much the same as Alt Jazz, except the skirt/waist panels need to be folded into place.

During the hood placement, Jazz's head needs to turn sideways so his horns fit. Also, the part of his hood attached to the windsheild will fold down.

that is the signal most epic jazz of all time

I love this Jazz! I think that this may be my favorite custom.... EVER!!! He's sheer perfection! Watching you make him made me realize/remember that I totally freakin' love Jazz!! It also got me really excited to finish my classics-style prowl Jazz I started last summer. Are you going to send your pictures to the customs gallery so I don't have search for this thread anytime I want to drool over him?
