I can't remember the last time I posted a kit to this board, so I thought it was about time. It's just a 1/100 Astray Red Frame with some modifications, an extra sword (for about $120 less than buying the PG :P ) mechaskunk parts, resin hands, and custom paint.

Stunning job. I love the use of colours, but the vulcan channel in the head needs to be cleaned up.

Such that you will see that my progress on Little Plastic Robots will come under heavy hindrance.

I love orange !
It's very good and clean (except the point that Amaterasu mentioned), however it's better to have some decal (my opinion only).

Nice paint job, although why didn't you paint the inside of the metal thrusters too.

What other mods did you do?

Thanks everyone. :D

luckytoffee: Yeah, I agree, I wanted to put on some decals, but I built this kit for my son, and he said he didn't want any (since the suits in the anime don't have markings).

OrganisedKaos: I left the inside of the thrusters bare because I liked the silver/chrome look, which is kind of a running theme on the kit. As far as other mods, I don't know if I remember, lots of little things. The detail on the shoulder armor with pla-plate, the detail on the shoulder itself is all new (which doesn't show too well in the pics). The v-fins were sharpened, the swords were moved from the hips to hang more naturally on the thigh, then I built new attachment points for those, and I changed the detail on the scabbards so one could be turned around and they would still look the same. I also added new forearm detail, filled in the hollow part of the rear skirt armor, and added some detail there. And aside from that it's just a bunch of kotobukiya detail parts, mechaskunk beads and bells, and I think I may have done some work to the joints. That's about it.

Gundamn0b1: The eyes are mostly just photoshop (especially the glowing look). I had added some detail that didn't show up too well, and you can't see them at all in the pics, so I had some fun in photoshop. :P
