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

field repair gm (the spare parts gm)

so after my last couple of gundam model customs, I ended up with a headless cold districts type gm, after digging through some left over parts from previous kits I ended up with this:

I basically just put random parts together so I could have a full mobile suit, the head is the o gundams head with the antenna from the cold districts gm head (because I used the v-fin on a different model), the hands and gun are from my gm sniper 2, and the shield is from my gm sniper 1 and it has a piece I made from a leftover plastic tree to mount it onto the arm (the mounting piece for the shield kept falling off so I had to make a new one).

all in all, I'm not 100% satisfied with it but until I find some better parts it will have to do (I have an idea for what I might do to it, but at the moment I can't find the parts I want to use on it so it'll have to wait until I can locate the right parts)

rgm-o-79d cold districts prototype custom

I made this using the body of the o gundam and the head as well as the shield from the cold districts type gm.
I haven't painted or panel lined this kit because I'm too lazy to do it.
I call it a prototype because I see this as being something that could be mass produced, I think the parts look really good together and to make it was rather easy, as well the colors seem to match for the head and body (if you didn't know it was a custom, you'd probably think it was made that way).
all in all, I really like how it looks and I'm happy with it.

new project

recently I started thinking about a mobile suit head which I saw while playing MS Saga: A New Dawn and  I started to wonder what suit it goes to or if it was just something that was put in the game as background art:

(I did not take this picture/screen shot)

(I cropped the picture above to show the head a little better)

as shown in the pictures it seems to be (in my opinion) a gm command with a gundam v-fin, I've tried researching the head and I've only found one mobile suit but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this head.

(this is not my picture)

in this picture it shows a gundam whose name is apparently gm command hammerhead gundam (it might be gm command hammer head gundam, but I don't think splitting hammerhead into hammer head makes any sense), I'm not sure if this is a real gundam or a fan made one or if it is suppose to be the finished product from that head and I doubt that it is.

(this is not my picture, this picture is of box art for a 1/144 scale model kit)

so with the head on my mind I decided to make a 1/144 scale model with the head, I purchased a gm cold districts type model kit so I could build it, as of right now I've only just started building the kit and it will probably not get finished for quite some time, but if I am able to find a gm command model kit for a decent price I will use it instead, or I might just make a different version of it.
