Polycap

A polycap is the part which plays a role as the joining, the maintenance in the joint part of the plastic model of characters such as robot things line mainly. In addition to an article bundled with a kit, there is the commercially available thing for remodeling, own work.

The shape has many short pipe forms, and polyethylene is used mainly, and (there are a ball joint-formed thing and the thing of the shape that puts it together in the use part, and was customized), the materials have flexibility. Receive it, and fit a polycap with the side, and is smooth by inserting a movable axis there; if is movable, can balance the maintenance of the pose. But it is unsuitable for the use of such a part of the weight.

A caudex product of plastic parts same as the main body was used for the joint part of the early robot thing plastic model, but was disadvantageous in that the retentivity of the joint was lost immediately by abrasion (generally it is said, "I get tired"). A polycap is introduced than the "Milky Way drifting by femme" series released in 1983 by BANDAI in earnest and adds it though a problem of the retentivity was solved (after all poorness りが occurs by the long-term use), and, in what I insert polycap joint after assembling painted limbs parts independently and complete, painting work produces the merit that became easy particularly. Furthermore, I establish the technique to prevent it by pouring plastic parts over the joint which a polychief has ever exposed to light.

The use of polycap in the robot thing becomes natural, but some space is necessary by the size of the polycap to get enough retentivity and may produce a trouble for a proportion and gimmick reproduction with the particularly small body mainly on plastic model of Gundam now. As for the adoption of "v frame" and "the MS joint" which I molded into an exclusive poly cap and frame form, trial and error was repeated for a long time, but polycapless realizes making it it by the overuse of product made in ABS resin parts as for making it it Gundam F91 which is a small body in the Gundam series in after 2006 and master grade of cross Vaughn Gundam. But some says that assembling is accompanied with difficulty and is still a developing stage.

In addition, the remodeling method called "a polyrunner" was introduced in "Gundam centimeter flannel" published serially in "model graphics" as technique to get a similar effect in space fewer than a polycap. This cuts the runner (frame) of the materials having the polycap into round slices and I stab metal wire and am axis joint and a thing doing it.

In the scale model, I am used for movable parts such as King Chakravarti or the main battery up-and-down motion in a tank model for a long time, and there is the thing which can perform substitution of the deployment armament with a polycap in a large-scale fighter model recently.

When I am used for a car model, a wheel often refers to a cylindrical thing used for a brake disc, the junction of the drum. I teach a wheel a polycap that I fit a polycap with brakes part and insert the projection of the wheel part, and I am greatly divided into a thing to insert a shaft and a pin in by a product.

This item is an unfinished item in conjunction with the entertainment. I demand the cooperator who corrects it, and corrects this item.
