    This is basically exactly what I want in a masterpiece toy, except maybe the barrel. I'd like that to be translucent orange, like the toy. The alt mode, though not perfect, is a valiant effort. It looks like someone was shill bidding on your listing though.

    Excellent work on this! You definitely captured the vibe that Dan (thyvipera) did with his various MP Galvatron customs. If this is a first, as you say, then I'm interested to see what else you can do. Keep it up!

    Gorgeous work! I must say, this is the most impressive first custom I've ever seen. Tackling a project this ambitious out of the gate is to be commended! This is top-notch paintwork too. If you tell me this is the first thing you've ever painted, I'm going to have to go somewhere and cry over my inadequacies.:D 

    How did you do the head and cannon? Surely you didn't hand sculpt that head??

    I love Galvatron customs, and this was my favorite recipe. I even thought of trying my hand at it, but I hated the idea of cutting up that Gundam too much! The fisherman can't have mercy on the bait, but still. Love your implementation of it.

    One of these days maybe someone will do one with a Galvatron II color scheme and straight up kill me with it....

    Hey guys, thanks. I have started work on my second of these figures. This time the goal is to make it fit in as perfect scale as possible with mp10 which not many of these custom gundam based figures do. I have some pics that I will post shortly showing the process.

    It is truly my first custom. The head, I did sculpt by hand except for The face which was stolen off a tidalwave figure. Year of painting models and furniture pieces maybe helped to prepare me for the painting. The building was more so hours upon hours of studying other mp figures and very very slow work the dremmel.


    Super excited to finish round 2. Not sure if I will sell or keep. I am working on a new head sculpt, the last one satisfied me but wasn't exactly exactly what I wanted. Stay tuned for new photos. This time I have captured some of the build process as well.

    Cannon was made from the handle of a hair brush, I cast the peg section of the original. Then moulded it, before the resin hardened I inserted the handle, when it was dry and cured, I sanded it smooth and painted.

    I also had a pen housing that had the irght shape but was a bit to stubby

    Looks good, except the barrel looks kinda odd.
