I am really happy with how this all turned out and I think I really managed to live up to my original concept. With all the modifications it feels original and different but keeps enough of the GP03’s aspects to make it instantly recognizable.
This surprisingly became one of my most proud builds.
With all the major mods done what I focused on was small mods all through out the model. Things like vents for the chest, panel lining, metal screws and rivets, Kotobukiya and wave parts, and various pla applications.

But then this year’s Summer War Contest was announced and I had no models I wanted to use for the modified section, so I settled on the GP03. The problem comes from the fact that there is a deadline now attached to this “slow build” and that my last big build was my longest and almost my most expensive build. This has resulted in making me hesitate in purchasing extra after market parts as well as changing aspects of my original design. Continue reading
