B&W Challenge: Mecha Toy Photography, Part One

Since I got tagged in Facebook, I decided that I would do the whole black and white photography challenge with mecha toys. Here's the first one:

Crossbone Maoh Gundam Build Fighter Kit Bash

Custom Modification: Crossbone Kali, ver. 2

The original mecha for this mod is the HGBF 1/144 Crossbone Maoh Gundam. However, for this mod, I've added pieces from various AGE mecha, and parts from Skull Weapons Sets. The idea started out as adding more arms for the Crossbone, but somewhere along the way, it just evolved to this.

Original Kali version here.

Apologies for the wide-angle distortion, am currently using my new phone's digicam, since the usual cam was being used somewhere else. 

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.

Review and Modification: HGBF 1/144 Gundam X Maoh | "X-Niten Ichi-Ryu"

I've always been a fun of the Gundam X design, even if the asymmetrical design took some getting used to. To my joy, the new series, Gundam Build Fighters, has an X variant known as the X Maoh. Thankfully, my friend Zero Four had some stock available.

I decided to get two, and then bash some parts together with some X Divider weapons. The following mobile suit became the result, and I've taken to calling it the X-Niten Ichi-Ryu, which sounds much better than Maoh-Maoh.

Without further ado:
