HGUC Acguy (Kind of a side project)

We went down to Christchurch on the weekend so I was away from any Gunpla for a few days which was nice to have a bit of a rest. Before we I had already started my an HG Acguy just mostly the body, the inner frame of the arms and legs and the head. I was quite impressed with the detail and gimmicks this has for a HG kit. I started this as a side project kit from my MG Z'Gok.

The plan I had was to make something similar to the Acguys in Gundam Thunderbolt with redesign of the backpack.

Unfortunately due to a slow mobile browser I bought two of these kits but that has just made me rethink my plan so now I will have a kind of team to go with a HG Z'Gok custom I did awhile back.

The inner frame I found was quite cool for this and the movable mono eye was the bees knees. I painted it a whit colour on the back of the clear portion but I might wipe it off and use a red Gundam marker instead.

I finished the rest of the kit in the end and I was pretty happy with the finished product the articulations awesome and I like the extra arm parts too. Oh and there are different weapon options too. I have already started customizing it with a fin on the backpack.

I am just deciding on how to do the boosters at the moment. Bandai is re-releasing some of its Builder Parts range in molded colour which is going to be quite good for no painters like me. So I will pick up the Marine 01 set that has some really awesome hydro thrusters that I can use in place of the original nozzles on the Acguys backpack.

Until next time :)
