This is my custom gouf made from an "ms-07b-3 gouf custom"

Now since I am going to be posting lots of pics of this which will take forever to submit let alone typing about ever part I have made or alter I am going to simply post all the info on this one and link all the others to this page to save time

Ok then

This model has the following modifications

1: both shoulder pads scratch built using sprue taken of games workshop model kits and a spare 6 mm ball joint
Spray painted and sand until smooth with white cheap spray paint the finished with matt and Silver acrylics

2: the right arms whip thing replaced with a length of snake chain and a hook attachment made using a knob of sprue and a piece of bent paper clip as of yet un painted

3: left arm wrist attachment re worked with epoxy putty {green stuff made by games workshop} and a piece of sprue for added strength

4: wrist gun attachment scratch built from sprue and what I can only call a Q shaped joint from the kit Spray painted and sand until smooth with white cheap spray paint the finished with black matt and silver acrylics


5: shield with the Gatling gun removed and a unpainted piece of sprue covering the hole Finished with black matt and silver acrylics

6: sword scratch built by gluing several pieces of sprue together using polystyrene cement then filed into a blade and handle then more sprue was filed down until flat then stuck on with polystyrene cement for the hand guard
Finished with black matt and silver acrylics

The rest of the model was finished with yet more black matt and pewter spray paint and gold acrylics

Bravo!

If I collected Gundams as a hobby, I might have tried to use GW tools on them. But I only have a few, and they gather dust in awesome poses atop my television, desk, and dresser. I can see you put alot of time into this piece, but the simplicity of the Zaku/Gouf takes away from some of it. When this is finished, you should try a more detailed Gundam (the best are from SEED in my opinion). If I ever had the time, I'd take my MG Freedom and give it a repaint. The ggod thing is that the MG allows all of the armor to be removed from a 'skeleton'. Allowing the armor peices to be primed and painted with GW paints.

Nice Imperial Eagle on the chest, and good luck with finishing it.

It's okay, I wish I had the time for such projects. I am repainting all of my bad guys from LOTR for my buddies to play DnD. I have to juggle paining Moria Goblins, Uruk-hai, and my Space Marine army, and there is the magical device called my Xbox.
