Wheeee!!! More progress on the Gouf. The shoulders are almost done, just need to add mounts for the thrusters. The feet are almost done, just need to finish the soles. Knees are done. Thighs are almost done, just need to mount the thrusters. Just need to start on the second calf thruster cowling, and the backpack. I still haven't decided on a design for the backpack, or weither I'm gonna change the lower arms.

Been working on this again, kinda slow though.

Been planning this build for a while now. Finally got around to starting it. The idea behind it as a Space-type version of the Gouf, similar to the Rick Dom upgrade to the Dom mobile suits. I decided to incorporate concepts and parts from the Kämpfer mobile suit, into the Gouf, as sort of an evolutionary bridge between the Gouf and Kämpfer designs.

I bought this kit a couple years ago before the HGUC Geara Doga was announced, cuz I really like the design and didn't think Bandai would make a HG or MG. When Bandai announced the HGUC, I decided to use this kit to work on my scratchbuilding/modifying skills. Got a pile of aftermarket parts to put on it, and some joint mods planned to make this better than a HGUC. It's been sitting on my desk since then, waiting for me to get my other kits finished first.

Finally finished my Spartan. I took it to the AV IPMS Desert Classic model competition yesterday and got 3rd place in the Sci-Fi Vehicles Mechs and Robots category ^_^ More pics after the jump.
