kotobukiya modeling support goods trailer base 004 and customized hg 1/144 rgm-79gs gm command-space

I bought a kotobukiya trailer base that I'd been wanting for a while, once it was finished I realized I didn't really have anything to put in it to have it carry so I bought a hg 1/144 scale rgm-79gs gm command-space (otherwise known as a gm command space type), I swapped out a few parts on the gm because I wanted it to be a little bit more custom.

what I changed:

the bottom half of the foot and ankle guard: from the gm cold districts type

the right hand, gun and center chest piece: from the gm sniper k9

the left hand: from the jackedge

the side skirt armor: from the altron gundam 

as of right now neither kit has been painted or panel lined and there have been no stickers applied, although I might paint the gm later on but for now I'm happy with it as is.

gf13-050nsw nobell gundam

a while ago I purchased a 1/144 scale nobell gundam, I had been thinking about buying one for a while and I finally decided to make a purchase.

when I purchased the model kit I was given a free bazooka with my kit, the bazooka also came with parts for modifying other model kits (mainly adapter parts for arm swaps), I couldn't think of any other model to give the bazooka to so I gave it to the nobell and personally I think it looks really good with it.

also rather than just taking pictures of the model kit, I decided to make a stop motion animated gif.

kampfer amazing

I recently started watching gundam build fighters and one of my favorite kits in the show is the kampfer amazing, so when I saw the kit for sale online I had to have it and I bought it right away, once it arrived I started building it, it didn't take me very long to finish it.

so once I finished building it I started taking pictures of it, it was a little hard to get the entire kit in frame so I had to move some parts and every time I moved it I took a picture to see if it fit in the frame, later on when I was going through all the pictures I took I noticed that some of them linked up nicely to make a basic animation, so I loaded them into a gif making website and made the above image.

I haven't painted, panel lined or applied the stickers to this kit, I'm happy with it as it is and I'm glad I bought it.

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.

project idea

I haven't really done much this month, I've not been feeling the best as well as having things to do, I have had a cool project idea though, I was thinking of buying another phantasy star model kit and modding some gundam parts onto it to make a mecha musume custom, but the price of the phantasy star kits at the store where I purchased my previous kits has raised their price on the kits and I really don't want to spend too much so I guess my idea will have to wait.
