CUSTOM BUILD: BUSTER BLADE "SCHNEIDER"


Here is my entry for the HG 00 Gundam contest created by Painted Hobbies. I used as base my old 00 Qan [T] and beefed him up using various parts from MG Red Frame Astray, SD Qan [T], builder parts, kotobukiya MSG, excess sprue, old stickers and plastic styrene sheets. It took me a month to finish this custom kit. And man, it was a great and fun build! This is just my second custom designed build and definetely its a huge progress over my first one. Check out the final product below and hopefully you guys would love it.

PG ZETA GUNDAM: CUSTOM BUILD

Message from Mario (a.k.a lazer.74)

"This took me about 490 hours of work spanned in 12 months.
This is my first approach to a lot of things and techniques:
- use of plasticard
- armor trimming and reshaping
- re-proportion (longer legs)
- use of metal parts (Vulcans, energy cables, thrusters, vents)
- entire airbrush painting by post shading basically (Mr. Hobby/Mr. Color paints, all colours customized)
- weathering (Humbrol enamels and Abteilung Oils)"
