Just decided to post here while waiting for the updated pics to clear the admin check......
This is my entry for this year's Sakura Media MG Gundam Contest. Took me a month or two (a majority of which spent on trying to figure out how to do the LED) to complete. Not the best I could've done, but it was a bit rushed towards the end, and I only got second place with this guy. (If I spent another half hour I probably would've gotten first place and doubled the $100 prize money......)
^-- Front body shot. As you can see, I combined the shoulder armaments of the Sword and Launcher Striker Packs to give more fire power without dropping the mobility too much. I also stole the Gatling Shield off of the IWSP, took off the boomerang (since there already is one here), and filled up the hole with putty so it won't look too awkward. Though, I overestimated the putty......
^-- Another angle, which hides the direct glare from the head sensor so you can see the glowing eyes. The sensor and eyes are the same clear piece, and while I stole the head-splitting idea from Keita, I didn't steal his "clear piece splitting" idea. The cost is that the eyes don't shine as brightly as the sensor due to the LED's direction. Oh, btw, the LED is white.
^-- Closer-up of the upper body, showing the upper body decals.
^-- Right wing "MORGENRATE" decal.
^-- Left wing "CINQUE" decal.
^-- A shot of the back of the kit. Notice all those gold parts that I had to use a tiny brush to brush into...... That almost nailed my eyes.
^-- Shooting with Beam Rifle.
^-- Shooting with Shield Gatling. I didn't mod the crotch joints so it's incapable of doing more dynamic poses (I probably lost points due to this one too......)
