So a year or so ago Gundam Age started. I don't watch it but I do keep an eye out for Gundam model news. As soon as the G-exes was announced I immediately noticed the resemblance!



So I ordered a 1/144 kit when it was released and kept it in the closet for a while. This week I decided to work it. I started out with a little photoshop but soon I googled and someone beet me to the punch. So I decided to use this:



I'm not much of a photographer so bare with me.


Still without the panellines













I removed all the possible seemlines, primed with Motip primer and 95% is airbrush work. Tamiya X-4 blue, XF-1 black, X-10 gunmetal, X-11 Chrome, X-14 sky blue, X-8 lemon yellow and X-7 red. Sealed it with a coat of future. (I might do one more coat!) I'm open to offers on this piece!

this looks pretty awesome

 

thats pretty sweet, i see using parts for tfs but i never thought about using the whole kit

 

Looks good, due to the less blocky nature it could be female. Elita Prima maybe?

 

oh good god, a proper TF x Gundam crossover... now I'm tempted.

good job man. XD

 

Arise Gundamus Prime!

 

Nice job!

I love this model, I've used mine to make Mobile Suit Prowl.

WIP pic at the time.

 

neat

 

very cool idea, I like it. I think your completed version came out better than the 'shop  

I'd love to see this model painted up as movie Prime  

 

I love gundams just as much as I love Transformers. This is awesome!

 

Thanks for all the nice words guys. I really like that Prowl! The G-Exes could easily be troop built into Smokescreen and Bluestreak too  

My brother showed me this today: GUNDAM GUY: MG 1/100 Astray - Optimus Prime Custom Build



It 1-ups mine about 9001 times...

iDD

 

First time I ever liked a Movie Prime... :|
That is just awesome!

Thanks! I might just do that....

What I like to do is just Action Masters Parts with Gundam models, still need to make pics of my Shockwave.  

 

This definitely looks good.

 

Neat. Ever since the digibash was released, it was only a matter of time until someone made one for real. This one looks great, though i think that the silver waist could be better in a less reflective grey.

Also, do your G-Exes' hand pieces stay on? Specifically the backs of his hands (not the fingers, the other bit). Mine seem to constantly fall off...

 

yeah some times you just need to add a bit of cement on those to keep them together.

 

Spray on some future. That will hold them tight.

iDD

 

Words cannot describe how epic that is

 

A nice custom, but I don't understand what made you see Optimus Prime from the mold. Other than having a mouthplate and a pointy head, it doesn't really have any resemblance to Prime at all.
