Update 22

Now that the 1/100 is done, I decided that for the future works in this project, I'll be working in 1/144 scale, so what am I to do but re-work things again for 1/144 scaling.

Gotta update all the joint and gap tolerances, and adjust all the details for the smaller scale. Minimize some of the part count to ultimately result in a more stable model with what I've learned from making two of the 1/100 scale figures.

So to test the scaling and see where things sit, I just straight scaled the 1/100 down to 1/144. No adjustments, no detail updating, just scaled the pre-supports and ran it (last pic, comparing to a 1/144 Bandai Woundwort Kit)
Workin' through that exercise showed me what kinda parts I could get away with at this scale, and what needed to be tweaked or minimized~ And also apparently *add* details which I didn't model into the 1/100 x'D Right now it's a little frustrating because most of the changes are internal, so it's not that exciting to see, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Gonna also try to do one of the harder Titans schemes for it.
1/144 scale pinstriping is gonna be the end of me x'D

If I can, I'll finish one of the 1/144 builds and add it to the overall project, but if not, I still have the 1/100 entry for the comp, motivation to work through is motivation.

It's cutting it close, but I think I can do it~
