Bandai: HGUC 1/144 Zeta Honoo GBF Variant (Completed)

I finally got my hands on the Battle Arms parts that were needed for the Honoo. Here are two of the photos. Unfortunately, the last thing needed to complete it is the Akatsuki's bits. While I do have those, I would rather not use them with this kit.

Here we go, then! And, the "incomplete version" is here; clickie!

Assorted Gundams

I've admittedly had some backlog when it comes to taking photos, and for some reason, I just ended up putting them in Facebook albums. Here are some of those photos, now properly given context.

Bandai HGBF/HGUC 1/144 "Titan Assault" (RX-178 Mark-II) Gundam

Okay, the story here is, I was able to acquire the HGBF parts for the Mark II, and then I figured, why not add Hazel parts into the mix. This is what happened.

Bandai HGUC Nu Gundam: Modified - Mobile Armor Mode

This is another one of my older modification or kitbash projects. One of the big weaknesses I already saw in the original design was that there was no way for it to arm itself except for the fin fannels, since both arms were essentially just support systems for the larger shields.

Bandai HGUC Unicorn Gundam Banshee, Modified: Chimera Loadout

Finally.

This is - hopefully - the last version of this Banshee kit. I'm tempted to buy yet another Unicorn Banshee Norn in Destroy mode just to get a third DE shield, but I think this looks good for now.

For the inspiration to go double-shield, it's the Phenex. Click here.

HGBF 1/144 Cross Bone Gundam Maoh "Crossbone Kali"

I'd have to say, I love the Gundam Build Fighter series, if only for the fact that kitbashing and mods are now fair game and official.

This is one of my favorite mecha from the series, even if it only appeared for practically one episode. First off, it's a Crossbone Gundam, and second... look at that skull on the chest! I've added some more equip arms, so it can handle more weapons - hence the "Kali" term.

In the first photo, the side shot of the backpack pretty much shows it: it's a combination of the Skull Weapon with the standard backpack.

The second photo shows the makeshift "back mount" for the Gun/blade weapon, using the spare two-prong mount from the Skull Weapon, and a modular trigger guard from the Bandai Campaign parts sets.
