The design is loosely based on the ZZ Gundam (saw it in Feb 2005 Newtype Magazine) but I wasn’t too bothered about how alike it was. Head design was copied from Kerouac’s SG because I haven’t managed to do one that looks half as good! The frame is Rotational Click Joint and the majority of pieces come from the five Exo Force sets I purchased (7700).

The problem now is I’m a bit stuck on where to go next, there are some areas that need a little tweaking and thats where you good folks come into the equation! Not sure what sort of backpack to go for, or to have one at all. So any ideas, comments and critiques will be much appreciated, I think this is the best thing I have made so far and with your help I want to try and get it finished, before I get distracted again! ;)

Cheers Jas

I don’t know if I can give you much constructive criticism, because so far, I like pretty much everything I see. :-)

The only thing that looks off a bit are the forearms. They look short. I’m not a big fan of GlaGla’s minifig arms-as-hands either...

Otherwise, this is an awesome Gundam! Good luck with the rest.
