Hi all,

This is something I completed last year.  I didn't post it up b/c I couldn't get the right color balance on my camera.  It's still a bit off, but it's close enough that it merits putting up online.

This kit is obviously based on the HG 1/144 CGue Deep Arms, which is from Seed MSV lineup I believe.  I replaced the waist/ side armor/ back skirt with HG 1/144 Mobile Cgue, and the legs/ feet with those from... damn it I can't recall   I know I extended the thighs a bit using pla plates and filling with epoxy putty.  I also moved the sword holder to the backpack, and added the shield-gatling from Mobile CGue to complement the rifle on the right hand.  I also added fuel tanks from HGUC Gelgoog Marine Cima Custom.  Finally I added a jewel eye from mechaskunk to the eye socket, replacing the pathetic stock sticker.  As for color scheme, I was trying to get the colors from Crossbone X2, which I know is a weird choice but I like its colors and I hope to someday grab my hands on one.  Decals are from Bandai's SEED waterslides.  Anyway hope you like it!

plus a couple pics of my GMG Zeta... I dont intend to make a formal post on this kit since I dont think my photo skills do it justice.  Just adding them since I took these photos in the same session.

The CGue has some seamlines and paint transfers, but nothing too noticeable. Overall, nice.

There is a seam missed on the zeta gun.

you know for the background, all you need is to go to michaels and get a poster board and lean it up against the wall for a background. There like $1.50 with endless mounts of colors and patterns to choose from.

EDIT:

GMG is what scale?

Cgue is really fresh. I'm a sucker for a gatling. There are a few grey parts that look really plastic - hands, mag, shield handle. Assuming you left them bare? There's a small bit of blue leakage on the round things on the back as well. Far be it from me to nitpick though. I think you've done an awesome job. Of particular note is the colour scheme - the blue and silver really pop, and the gatling heat diffuser look killer. Great work.
