Keep it up man. Looking good. So are you using the GFF as the sample? I know you are adding LED lights to it. But what other ways are you going to customize this Gundam. A different color scheme?

There are lots of modification made on this model. The color scheme is also different, w/ mix of black, red, gray and white. Thank you for looking! Will update as soon as I have progress. vic01

Updates!!!!! Got myself 12 strong ring magnets. Lucky it includes ceramic block magnet too. This forearm is the left side w/c I can attach the I-Field Generator. Just lining the panel lines using wash... This is the ring magnet I used surrounded by putty. Actually there are two magnets in there, one below it, to make it more stronger to hold the heavy I-field. The finished I-Field Generator, minus the clear plastic in front of the LED, decals and topcoat. My first lights on part! W/o the I-Field With the I-Field Change of plans. I decided to use the MG's mid-chest and eliminate the circuit that has a lot of LEDs. Upper Boosters almost done. Im almost finished w/ the upper parts. More to come and thanks for viewing!!! vic01

Wowwow. Impressive!
So is that I-field generator being held onto the arm JUST by the magnets? That's a neat way to do it.

Thanks shinotaking and quinjester! Yup, just magnets. I don't want to drill and cut and use some polycaps in the left arm, since I can tell it can't hold the I-Field. It is heavy so better use strong magnets. I also need to put some locking tabs to hold it in position. vic01

Simply amazing. I like the change you made to the Mid section. Although the LED lights were kinda cool, the original mid section just look big.

Simply amazing. I like the change you made to the Mid section. Although the LED lights were kinda cool, the original mid section just look big. Thank you! I updated it! I've been thinking what if the chest still lights up w/o using the orig G-System parts and circuit? I tried... I found an ultra-bright LED light. I took off the ultra-bright LED and put a green LED that came from the original circuit of G-System. Tried it w/ 3V, but the light is not bright. Better use 6V to make the LED lights brightly! Drilled the mid-chest. Put some tamiya epoxy on the chest and the resin part. Will make it more detailed when it cured. Will try to make it more proportional. Lights on! Plan to make an opening cockpit! My rule is, only one pilot for this Gundam. Trimming the thigh parts. Need more sandpaper sticks. Will strip the armor paints to make it more clean. Oh, well, busy busy. More to come so stay tune!!! Thank you for viewing! vic01

whoa, crap this is the best model ive seen since... actually i dont know . Anyways its really cool especially with all those LEDS. The color scheme also matches the model very well and they mix great to! I just wanted to also ask if a 12 year old like me could create a custom model like yours .

arcausalteisen: Yes, you can! Start now and learn. Be motivated. Nothing's impossible if you want it. @supergetterv: Thanks for anticipation! Almost done w/ my DS Custom... Almost done, I just need to fix and design the circuit for the chest and hide the batteries inside on one of the propellants at the back, paint a lot of small parts, boosters, the BFC, future clear coat, decals, and the finale, topcoating. Hope next week im set. vic01
