ASW-G-73 GUNDAM SOLOMON by KONG
From the modeler…
Base model: 1/144 gundam barbatos
Custom: in this project, as you can see i used some house hold materials and office supply ( i like to go green and cheap.. err :-)) )
HEAD: i hate not seeing the evil eyes of the barbatos, i always thought the v-fin is too big so i cut those and give barbatos a new pair of rider antena :-P, i also cut some armor in his cheek plates to reveal his face
BODY: In this part i go for the EX-S macho kind of look, also modified its height by giving him two chome pistons i cut from the runner of my pg strike
RIGHT ARM: not much is done here, i just modify its length by giving him the wrist of the bonus arm youll get out of the box, i also give him new shoulder pad
LEFT ARM: (solomon arm) the piece de resistance 🙂 i go for everything massive and menacing in this part. it is the combination of the two left arm and some plastic plating. i also put led in its palm to achieve gurren/ ironman kinda look and highlighted from the rest of the body with red color to give it more umf, pop, and boom
SKIRTS: at this point im starting to not recognize the barbatos anymore so i just retain it stock front skirts but add the back booster armor with all its gimmick to the side skirts for more beefyness
LEGS: stock shoulder armor goes here, i pla plated the tights give new pair of booster down there by the way the white exhaust if you notice is made from rim of cup noodles
PAINTING: i use bosny grimer gray for the base and hand painted with enamel everything that is not gray :-P, Â for the top coat i use bosny flat clear some dry brushing and some graphite brushing to give him more battle harden veteran kinda look
