GNSZ-40001 Stargazer Zero
(To begin, I apologize for the awful quality of the photographs. I edited them for sharpness and noise reduction to the best of my abilities, but it didn't do very much.)
Back in 2009, I started working on a customized GN-000 0 Gundam. It was the first time I had ever painted a Gunpla kit, as well as the first time I had modified one with tools. I gave it a nice paintjob, light aesthetic mods, and two new external hardpoints for polycaps. Two years later and I'm still sticking things on this kit, buying more HG GN-000s to replace the broken parts, and destroying other kits to give it more equipment.
And then I watched SEED Stargazer. The beautiful design of the 401 has kept it as #1 on my favorite Mobile Suits since then. So I bought the HG, stripped it apart, and spent about four months experimenting on joint designs to connect the 0's mechafemurs and knees to the Stargazer's shins and feet. The end result was fragile, which is my excuse and reason as to why there are few pictures. The ringpack was modded together with a GN Condenser pack, but it's too heavy to hold itself up, so no pics of that yet.
In total, I've used 4 HG GN-000 0 Gundams, 1 HG GSX-401 Stargazer Gundam, 1 HG GNR-101A GN Archer, 2 MG RX-178 Ver2.0 polycap pieces, and 1 HG GATX-105 Strike Rouge IWSP pack. For paint, I used Tamiya Field Grey for the "green" on the torso, and Tamiya Clear Green for the orb on the chest.
This was all selfmade with Kitbashes right? Fantastic! I really like the originality of it. The legs are really nice by the way ^^
Yep. No plapate though. Thanks!
I always wondered what will it be like to merge some parts of the O and Stargazer. I guess this is one of them. Nicework.
If I recall you have them as well, right? Might want to get some doubles and give it a shot, too. It can pull off a gorgeous GFF stance.
