The Hind End of Space

Series: Hobby Japan/Gundam Weapons Original Designs

So hey, this is sort of a dream project of mine finally realized. When I was younger, I had the Gundam Weapons special magazine that showcased the Gundam Alex and Gundam ver 1.5 Master Grade kits, which were new at the time. This design was one made by legendary modeller Max Watanabe, whose work I always admired.

The kit was done mostly stock, with the addition of the beam rifle and front skirt armor (both given to me by my friend Michael), and the cross on the shield. The base kit was given to me by mynonsenseistingling as a Christmas present, and I couldn’t be more thankful.

Series: Gundam Build Fighters

Whoa hey I’m back!! I figured I’d lead the marathon with the Gundam GP02A we saw the Build Mk. II take out in Build Fighters. This is a kit I’ve had unpainted for ten years now, and figured it was time to give it some. I wanted to make it more Zeonic, so a threw on a bunch of Zeon and Axis emblems. Consider this the GP02A if Gato brought it back to Axis. I also went TOTALLY overboard with all of the small details, and I think it looks better for it.

Unit: RGC-80 GM Cannon
Series: Mobile Suit Variations
Scale: 1/144 scale High Grade + MSV Kitbash

I started this one shortly after the GM Sniper, but shelved it because I just wasn’t feeling it. My original plan was to do this in White Dingo colors, but after I got bored of that I opted for the African Campaign colors, since I didn’t have any Federation suits in desert colors.

This is a much more difficult kitbash than the GM Sniper, since you need to cut out a LOT of plastic from both GMs to mount the cannon piece on, and it requires lots of patience and LOTS of putty. Overall, I think this came out looking better than the Sniper, but I still hope for an HGUC soon.
