    Many thanks for the comments! 1st post is now updated with more pics and wall of text :lol  Enjoy!!

    Thanks!:)  It's 99% Gundam, but the main base was MG1/100 Age-2. More info in 1st post :) 

    First post updated to provide all the info and stuffs. Unfortunately with this being based off IDW and pretty much a small MG kit, the brainmaster is not possible. Though he did get a detachable Corefighter for a quick escape instead :D

    AMAZING! Can we have more pics of the finished jet mode?

    Does it have the inner robot and the inner-inner robot?

    "That robot mode looks so good, I bet this is one of those crappy customs without an alt mode..." *scrolls down* "No effing way!!" Super job man.

    Perfection. The fact that legendary Gundam designer Kunio Okawara also had a hand in Star Saber designs make this custom a very apt tribute. Everything comes full circle.

    Thanks!!:) 

    Nope. Being based off a Gundam kit makes it small and kinda fragile for more gimmicks. But do enjoy some more pics from a recent update:bay 

    Jetmode
    Added landing gear to the sword handle for a better balanced jet. Though the rear is starting to droop because of the heavy legs + weak knees.

    Gave him 2 more corefighters that allows for a 3-jet config as a nod to the Brave series. The names are wordplay on his "Let's Say GO!" catchphrase.

    Retsu- Strong/Intense/Violent

    Sei- Star

    Kou- Light

    The 2 extra corefighters serve as his new cannon for some pewpew action. (Weaksauce Gundam joints means he only has the gun while having his photo taken)

    And that's all, folks! :D
