1/100 HG Wing Gundam Zero "Repair" Custom


Share | This took me 9 months of on and off work, too much cash for starting up the hobby, and learned many things in doing the project. This is my first ever customized Gundam considered as a start up build or a practice build. Now I know the basics and have the experience and a basis for doing more kits next time. This is already one of my projects which have a big sentimental value for me. Thanks to DC23's basic tutorials, and to those people at the MAC forums who helped me..

Basic rundown of mods:
-added wires to shoulder, hip and feet joints.
-added few plaplates on body and on the inner sides of some armor.
-cut the wings in parts.
-added internal detail on busted leg part.
-changed the "feather" parts into 14 individual movable parts.
-changed the rifle handle with a new one.
-added green sensors to head, arms, and rifle parts.
-made a hole/joint at the backpack for the stand.
-added few bare wires on broken armors.
-reshaped the lower part of the leg.

-repainted.
-weathered.

Other information about the build was discussed in the WIP posts...

Anyways... here's the gallery of the project.

HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero WIP 11




After 9 long months... I have at least finished my first ever custom Gundam. Wing Gundam Zero Repair might be a good name for the project since Gundam 00 is like Gundam W but with Exia Repair, so here's Wing Gundam Zero Repair. (sounds corny?)
.
Anyways... this post would show the painting process and the final modding of the 1/100 HG kit. (IMAGE HEAVY) Pictures were taken from different dates spanning about a 2 weeks before this post...

HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero WIP 10

 

Share | So here it is... the continuation of the process of creating a DC23 PG Zeta inspired diorama. The process was actually fun considering it's a first. The only paints I used for the process are just cheap acrylics and some enamel washes. No hairspray technique or other complicated techniques since I don't have the resources to do it at the moment. Good thing it came out good.

I wanted it to come out with a much lighter shade of gray to blend it well with the Wing Gundam Zero but then I might just have to leave it like that so you put more attention on the Wing Zero and less for the darkish diorama...

HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero WIP 9


Share |
 So it's been two weeks since the last update. I've finished about 95% of all the modding and covering the visible seamlines, the other 5% will be done during or after the painting process. The base diorama is already primed. All I need to do now is to paint the whole project!

I added a few more Sprues, Balloon sticks and wires on the base to make it more detailed. My goal was to make it look like a part of a space colony.

These are mostly diorama WIP updates...

HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero WIP 8

Share | I just reached WIP#8 and I still haven't finished the thing...

So I made some good progress recently and the project is looking good so far. I just started building the base/diorama/stand for Gundam Wing Zero. You could say that the base is somehow inspired by DC23's PG Zeta ver. DC23 which he mentioned to be inspired by Fritz's Sinanju seen on mechapinoy.

So here are the pics of some good progress of the night...

HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero WIP 7

Share|After a lot of haul posts... I have finally posted a good update for my first ever custom Gundam.

I assembled Wing Zero and mounted it into the base so I can figure out what size I'm going for for the diorama itself.

I think 5 months of work is going to be worth it...

But about 8 WIP Posts going on about 10 in a few more days is, I think, too much for one project this small. I should work more on a better process for completing more projects in less time.

BUT YOU CAN'T RUSH ART!!!

HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero: WIP 5

Share|Major modifications - %50 complete...

HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero (Repair)

So I cut the wings into 5 parts each and put them back again modded, with added internal frames and wire mesh. The 3 parts of the main wings are connected via TF twisties because I find it the easiest solution.

HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero: WIP 4

Share|1/100 HG Wing Zero
Main Frontal Wings Modding Progress Update

I cut the 2 main wings in 5 pieces each, I will then modify and battle damage and put them back together with 14 scratch-built feathers. I have still yet to further smoothen out each part though...

HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero: WIP 3

Just a quick update of what I did to the leg.


Since part of "battle damaging" this Gundam required punching holes and taking of some armor, and taking of some armor means seeing the internal framework of the Gundam... I was forced to make my own internal frame work for aesthetic purposes...

HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero: WIP 2

So after a month or so, working on Zero on and off... here's a run down of the progress...

Basically, my plan was to make this Wing Zero heavily damaged as if it survived the last battle from the OVA Endless Waltz.
