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.

rebuilt gm

so after making the field repair gm that I wasn't very happy with I started looking around my house for the box which contained the parts I wanted/needed so I could build a new/better gm, once I finally found the box I wasted no time in starting a new build, I had been shown a picture of a gm that I thought would translate pretty well into model kit form:

this is not my image, it was drawn by DaiGuard78 on deviantart.com

once I found the image again (I had saved it in a folder), I decided to try recoloring it to look more like how I wanted it to look on the real thing, and I ended up with this:

I started with some minor tweaks (mainly just recoloring) and then I ended up redrawing a couple parts

in the end I decided not to try and make a cloak for the kit (because it'd be too much of a hassle for me), and I decided to just leave it bare, I view it as being somewhat of a early version (maybe a prototype) of the original mobile suit (the original artwork), after it was finished I ended up with this:

I didn't use a flash in the images

I mainly used gundam markers to paint this kit except for the red parts which I used some citadel blood red to paint (because I don't have a red gundam marker), I left some parts unpainted as to break up the colors a little bit, I really like how it turned out, a really spooky looking gm which I find really hard not to stare at as it stands out among my collection, all in all I'm happy with it and I'm glad I decided to make it.

parts used: 

body: gm cold districts type

head: rx-79 ground war set (the gm head)

hands: gm sniper 2

scythe: gundam deathscythe hell

custom painted rx-79

I recently bought a rx-79 ground war set and wasn't actually planing on building it, I had bought the kit so that I could get the hover truck and gm head for my older rx-79 kit so I could have the entire 08th ms team (the ez8, rx-79, rx-79 gm head repair, and hover truck).

I was helping a friend clean out his basement and found a couple bottles of nail polish and I got the idea to paint this kit using nail polish, so I saved the bottles I had found and I used them to paint the kit. I painted the blue parts purple, the red parts were painted a darker red, and I used actual paint to paint the yellow parts metal. I don't think I will ever paint another model kit with nail polish ever again, it is very hard to work with and takes a very long time to fully dry.

this kit has not yet been panel lined due to the fact that I can't find my gundam marker so I am currently unable to panel line it.
all in all, I like how it turned out, it's not perfect but it has character and I like the color so I'm happy with it.
