DX Rouze Absorber Mod - Evolution King Plate

The USD25 DX Rouse Absorber... As I should not be getting the DX King Rouzer, I thought I might just make use of the KR Garren Fusion Jack Plate and mod it into KR Blade Evolution King Plate!

Printed out some pictures of the KR Blade Evolution King Plate to actual plate size for reference. Then use thin poly sheet to form the major parts of the face plate motif... Took a long time to figure out the layers as the picture is quite blurred...


Some of the parts/layers have the edges chamfered to get a better profile, though later then realised that the effects are not very good after painting... Parts are then glued to 1 base layer.... As for the "insect legs", I rolled up some small pieces of tissue paper and drip some glue over them to mold them into shape (think paper mache)... Turns out well... except I forgotten about the last pair of "legs"!!!! ... Hmmm.... maybe will add them on tomorrow, for today, just make do with it! Hahaha....


I then silver painted the green parts on the KR Garren Fusion Jack Plate, after which I painted the areas blue with a permanent marker.... Ready to paste the plate over... except the tab att he end needs some work...


Extended the tab with 2 small pieces of polysheet layered to form a good thickness, to paint it black once testing is complete.... And it works perfectly...


After painting and a comparison of the (almost) completed KR Blade Evolution King Plate.... Looks 85% close!!! Hahaha...


Looks good (from far)! Also printed out the Evolution King card on 2 glossy photo paper and stick them together with double-sided tape...Nice... the printed card is thin enough to be stored into the Rouse Absorber's card holder yet rigid enough to swipe (and press the activation switch)...


EDIT:
Added the last pair of "legs" for the "insect"...


Looks better now... No no no, don't zoom in to look, it looks bad with the poor painting...
