hg iron-blooded arms 1/144 scale mobile suit option set 4 & union mobile worker

the hg iron-blooded arms 1/144 scale mobile suit option set 4 & union mobile worker customized to attach to a figma madoka kaname school uniform version body with a bootleg figma miku hatsune head (without twintails), I modified the back unit so that it can peg into the hole in the back of the figma used for pegging in the display stand, the back unit and sword have been painted and panel lined although the mobile worker has been left untouched, the back unit is rather large and due to this it is functioning as a way of holding the figma up (the back unit is basically working as a stand for the figure) this is due to the figures size as it is smaller than most figma (I think they have it labeled as a petite figma but I'm not sure of this).

when I first saw this option set I thought of doing this with it, personally I think this application of the option set looks great and I will probably do similar things like this again in the future.

RGM-79 GM girl nagato

my most recent mobile suit girl, made using a hg 1/144 rgm-79 gm, figma yuki nagato, and figma homura akemi school uniform ver.

the build wasn't super hard to do and only required some light modding work, I wasn't originally going to use nagato's head but I really didn't feel like using the one I had originally chosen (figma madoka kaname school uniform ver. which came as a package deal with figma homura akemi school uniform ver.) so I bought a used figma yuki nagato to use, I had also originally wanted to use the gm's shoulder armor but I couldn't get it to work so I decided to leave it off (I might try to figure out a way to attach it again in the future, but for now it's alright).

to build it I pegged the arms and legs in using leftover pieces cut from the model kits runner, the back unit was also attached using a runner peg (what I call them) but had to be sanded down a little to fit in the hole on the back unit, the neck piece was basically just put over the neck, the head piece and side skirts had their connection pegs trimmed down/removed and were then glued on, the chest vents were the hardest part as they were trimmed down to be a little smaller and then glued on.

all in all I'm very happy with how this figure turned out.
