Last up for tonight are a few of my first UC Gundam figure customs. Eventually I want to make a federal forces terrestrial mobile suit pilot and a Zeom Marine diver like one of the guys who helped Char invade Jabrou way back in MS Gundam. Also I've been collecting parts to make my own Cyclops Team from 0080. Right now I'm sort of planning how I''m going to sculpt the heads since I haven't found any likenesses on either SDS or Broken Arrow.
Right now I have my modern interpretation of a Feddie grunt: Last edited by Chris_Animates; 10-14-2011 at 12:25 AM.. |

Next is a Fed junior officer in charge of a tank platoon which was inspired by the character Yandell from the second ep. of MSG iGLOO 2. I kind of wanted him to kind look rugged and ready for battle and tried to apply layers of paint to give off a dusting effect. All I need for him to be totally complete is a head set.

This is my version of a typical Zeon infantryman. The 30th Cobra Trooper was a perfect base.

This final custom is a Zeon scout team leader in the trademark green normal suit. He was inspired by Bandai's first UC Hardgraph line of a scout team on Earth with a hover scooter reconnaissance vehicle. The camouflage scheme came from examples in the M.S. Era photo/illustration book. Other than that he's a stripped down 30th SB and POC wave 3 Duke head with the front of POC Dusty's hat and miliput around the skull.
Hope to make more Gundam inspired customs in the future, thanks for looking. |

KINKO,
For painting, I use model master acrylics since they apply smoothly and have a fantastic color range. Though usually always mix about two to three colors and start from dark to light. So generally I use three variations for the same color starting with darkest for shadow, then a mid-tone , and finally a highlight which dry brush on to really capture the dimensions of the sculpt. Good luck with your customs |

As a gundam fan myself, Here are some things you can do. Crimson guard uniforms painted make great Zeon Uniforms so do the Captain America Hyrda figures. going to 0080 territory, Painting the poc duke jungle head would make a great Garcia. I forgot which one I used but one of those luke skywalker heads would be great for Andy and Bernie. skydive from skypatrol made a great Captain Hardie.
