The title of my dio is " coup d 'etat and this dio was also my entry in BAKUC finals last year ( 2008 ) and I lucky won as the BAKUC Grand Champion 2008.I started painting Gunpla January 2008 and started simple mods June of 2008, so this win was very special indeed. happy. Great competition with lots of great kits from modellers from around the globe. This was my second modified kit and was inspired by Toymaker's gray Kampfer and was spray painted with industrial spraycans and Tamiya spraycans. Hope you like it.

Modifications:

- added a large fin over the head
- scratch built a backpack to accomodate the extra kotobukiya parts
- added lots of pla plates for added detail and to give the kit an armor layered effect
- added lots of metal ringlets for added detail
- added a saber-type elbow on the right arm
- designed a color scheme in Adobe Photoshop
- scratch built the dio from old cd cases and pla materials ( rods, beams and plates )
- battle damaged an old OOB painted kit ( MG Zeong )

I wish Bandai creates more MGs from Gundam Wing Custom.

The colour scheme makes it look like it's coming out of optic camo ^^

i just keep getting distracted by the messed up zeong...
the kampfer is epic (i am now going to paint mine black!)
the battle damage zeong looks amazing... probably one of the top 3 i have ever seen
