[WIP] GN-001 DGS Exia Alyattes

[ProjectVirtue]

Hello all,
This is my first WIP thread so i hope you can enjoy it.

I'm pretty sure you're all pretty sick of seeing all the OBB Exia's that have been popping out since the MG release.
So heres hoping that this'll be unique enough to pique your interest.
This is only my third gunpla, and i'll be taking a step into the world of plaplates and modeling saws.
If you recall my previous work, the RX-001 Unicoяn-λ, my taste hasn't changed too much so hopefullly if you liked that one,
you'll like this one too.


This is the original mock up i had in photoshop.

*NOTE: the current stage and vision of the finished product has changed quite drastically.

The original mods consisted of.......
-Change the front skirt

-Add side skirts

-Open the shoulder Flap

-Point out the knees

-(Not in the picture but...) Add a katana

-Custom decals

-The biggest mod, which you cant see in the picture is the addition of a new furnace.
DGS stands for the "David and Goliath System" consisting of 2 independant hyper particle accelerator + compressor units.
but now, its strayed away from that quite a bit. As i keep adding more and more to it ><



Heres a quick shot of it in its WIP stage.
Currently working on the skirt right now, extending it by 3.5 centimeters hasn't been easy for me but its certainly a good
learning experience.

I'll be posting bigger changes here,
For the rest of the smaller ones and more detailed commentary, follow my blog =]

You'll find a lot more info concerning it here

If you have any questions, fire away.
Comments and criticism also desired? (couldn't think of a better word)

Thanks for reading!

So heres the next update.

- Neck mod : Increasing mobility by about 30-40 degrees

- Torso mod : Increasing mobility of the torso by about 45-50 degrees

- Skirt mod : Extend skirt by 3.5 cm by using plaplates

- Head mods : Almost finished version of the head, addition of detailing + painting












A few things i need some opinions on

1) For the V-fin, you see the square in the middle...what color would you like to see there. I considered leaving it white, i also considered hand-painting it metallic blue/green?
2) On the side skirt, i'm planning to have a simple white celestial being decal similar to the principality of zeon decals on the zaku shoulders, approve?
3) About to start on my DGS furnace,  i was planning on make it white with a bit of metal like the original GN furnaces, approve?
