1:144 HG Custom AGE-3 Gundam - Unicorn Gundam and Banshee Norn Gundam Inspired

This is a project that started as early as November 2012, which was around the same time I was doing other projects. I didn't want to reveal it until now because I wasn't quite sure where I was heading. Finally, I took some time to go back to this project. I'd say modding is 90% done.

Equipped with standard armaments.

RGE-B900 Barace

Gundam Eclipse was holding a Gundam AGE Group Build a little while ago. I decided to enter with this project. I have to say that this has got to be the fastest project I have ever finished! It took me less than three days to finish (in total), mainly because there wasn't that much to work with. I still enjoyed this project, it was a lot of fun because Barzam is one of my favorite Titans mobile suit. I remember always choosing this guy to play in Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam.

RGE-G2707X Desta

Jesta has got to be my favorite grunt suit (?) from the Universal Century. Everything about this spec-ops mobile suit screams out awesomeness. This project was of course based on Jesta. I saw a lot of similarities between Adele and Jesta, which is why I started this project. Again, this was one of those projects that was part of a contest and didn't make it on time. (Gundam Eclipse's 2012 Summer War Contest) Yeah, I guess I need to stop entering contests...

AGE-2N Nero Gundam

Another entry to MAC/Kamm's 2012 Mecha Contest that didn't make it in time. It started around the same time Freedom/Xi Project. Eureka Seven really does inspire me a lot. I love the design of Nirvash Spec 2. It's graceful and just plain cool. I also happen to love AGE-2's design. I happened to notice that Nirvash and AGE-2 have a similar transformation sequence.

RGE-B890 (909) Genoace II "Blaster"

Holland (Eureka Seven) has got to be one of the coolest character of all time. Whenever he appears on screen, I just can't wait for him to do something cool. His first LFO in the series was Terminus 909. It's got "commander type" written all over it, which is awesome. I became an instant fan of this LFO the first time I saw it in action.

Gundam Eclipse was holding a Personalized Grunt Suit Group Build some time before the summer. This project was my entry to the group build. It took me less than a week to finish the project. I was really proud of it since I can barely finish any projects.

1:100 MG Custom Strike Gundam - Cherudim SAGA and Banshee inspired [WIP]

I guess this is a project that I'd aptly call as "a clusterf-ck of kitbash." It was started at the same time around I started my Freedom/Xi project. I was just playing around with my spareparts. Suddenly, one thing led to another...and it became this. I had a tremendous lot of fun messing around with this project. So much fun that it never amount to anything..like Freedom/Xi project, this project is in limbo. 

1:100 MG Custom Freedom Gundam - Xi inspired [WIP]

Right after I finished Kolibri, I started this project as an entry to MAC/Kamm's 2012 Mecha Contest. I was not able to finish the project on time. However, I did not scrap the project at all. It's just merely in limbo right now. I'm planning to finish this some time in the future.

MSN-001A1 (Klb) Delta Plus "Kolibri"

If I remember correctly, I started this project in mid 2011. The project went smoothly for weeks. I painted it, but I wasn't really happy with the way it turned out. It felt incomplete. I left this project on limbo for a few months.

Ex-Strike Gundam [Cancelled]

GM Sniper II Conversion Kit

A cool conversion kit that I've been looking for for a long time! I wish I have the money to snag two because I'm using this one for a mod build..

Anyways, if you're interested, contact: soulosteel@gmail.com Pretty nice guy. Fast communication and lightning speed shipping. No, I'm not exaggerating. This guy is awesome c:

Custom Build #002 Part.2

Here is a little update:

- Aile Strike's backpack is added. It was raised and pushed back a little to give room for the shoulders and the head.

- Gale Strike thrusters are added to the backpack. Top pieces of these thrusters are cut off to avoid friction between the gale thrusters and the aile thrusters above them.
- More Strike thrusters are mounted on the beam saber handle on top. They will be modded later.

- Knee caps will be modded.

- MG Aile Strike feet are added because the original NG1/100 feet are too fat and hard to mod.
- MG Aile Strike hands are added.

That's it for now. It resembles a little bit more like Ex-S now. I'll see you around!

Custom Build #002 Part.1

I'm currently abandoning my previous project because I need inspiration. Finals during last semester also had an impact in this project. Although I do not intend to continue #001, I am not completely abandoning it. Meanwhile I'm going to concentrate on a new project.

Gundam Eclipse is holding a summer contest. Basically, you mod a recently purchased model kit and show it off! The prizes are fantastic, but I'm aiming for the first prize: MG Delta Plus.

I purchased NG 1/100 Gale Strike Gundam in April. Although I'm satisfied with it, the model kit does not look great on my shelf. Later on, it utterly annoyed me because the candy-like colors do not look impressive at all.

I had an idea of turning Gale Strike into a heavily armored mobile suit like Ex-S Gundam. The inspiration came from GFF Ex-S Gundam that I bought in May. I figured, "What if I re-imagine Ex-S Gundam in Seed universe? Although it utterly failed, Seed is supposed to be the new UC, afterall."

I started this project a few days after the contest was announced, which was June 2nd. And, here is the progress so far:

Week one: Head was slightly modified. Torso, back, and waist parts were heavily modified. I used a lot of spare parts from 00 model kits that aren't used. Pen caps (green) were used to imitate thrusters on the back skirt.

Week two: Scratch-built a  beamsmart gun using a rifle that came from Kotobukiya's Weapon Unit #6 as a base unit. A pen (green) cap is used to imitate energy tank. Basically, I used a lot of unused writing utensils to build this gun.

Week three: Sensors and pipes are added to the chest piece. Shoulder parts are slightly modified. Side skirts are modded into storages for beam sabers.

The progress of this project has been halted because my parents are in the states right now. So, I had to put away modelling stuff away at the moment. Also, I ran out of pla-plates. So, until my parents leave New York and I get my supply of pla-plates, then I can resume this project. :)
