Mods from stock Bandai HG 1/100 Master Gundam. My first time on BAKUC, be easy ok, Guys. ^-^
1. Base: I used master Gundam HG 1/100, the overall review I give for this kit is sucky. The plastic material is like the one they use to make buckets I gess (sorry Bandai Sirs :p), casting is also the main obstacle, especially in the inner parts.
2. Concept: Dengeki Hobby review on one of it’s modelling contest, they have a Master Gundam MG w/ a sweet metal plate like inner frame for the wings. Decided to make my own rendition on how a Master Gundam should look like, then I chose the Fallen Angel approach to the kit, hence the name Lucifer.
3. Head: The stock Master Gundam head is horrible (I think), had to made a whole new set. Took a phoney Victory Gundam head and had the horns made of 1 mm aluminium wire, superglue & alotta stand alone putty.
4. Sharp thingy between the chest and shoulders were taken from Zoids part. The round bulky thing on the shoulders were taken off, thought of em as a hindrance. The pointy thing on the Binders were from the pointy thing on Master Gundam’s feet.
5. Stock Master Gundam’s hands were replaced with a pair of bogus Legend Gundam 1/100. The stock hands were incapable of grasping on holding stuffs.
6. The additional engine/ blade holder in the back (the silver colored one) were from Zoids part. The black wings on top of it were from the previously mentioned phoney V Gundam’s skirt (I have alotta phoney stuff huh?)
7. I put a couple of rubber tubes from Zoids kit to add realism in the back side of the knee joint.
8. Feet: The Master Gundam feet are too big for my taste, had em replaced w/ fake F-91 feet soles, slimmer yet quite nice. I usually like pointy feet, but I don’t think it’s gonna work on this kit.
9. Wings: Stock Master Gundam’s wings, had minor mods. Put aluminium plates (0,2 mm) to cover up the inner casting imperfections, and had em expanded by screwing em to the binders.
10. Giant blade: Used the Voltaire Lumiere system from HG 1/144 Stargazer kit, put plastic plate & putty for the sharp point. The blade holders are from fake Legend 1/100’s.
11. Colour scheme: Wanna give the back from hell look, after priming, I used Junior 66 (not a common modeller’s paint , found it in a construction store near my house) Crimson & flat white, matte black, and silver.
12. Finishing: Simple panel lining & stickers from Zoids & Seed frame Astrays. Wanna get the ver. Ka approach. lol
