    Well, my plan is to make this kit look more like an MS from the Gryps Conflict (UC 0087). I’ve been planning this build since 2015; I studied a lot of Titans MS (especially the Jupitris units (Messala, The O, Titania, …)) and took some elements from the Zeta for this design, too.
    I don’t want it to look like a mass produced unit anymore, this will be like a new Jupitris mobile suit. I named it ‘Silver Blaze’, (I was inspired by the Silver Bullet (which was other MS that I studied for this design), and a horse from a Sherlock Holmes story, which was stolen and ended up killing the thief with a fatal blow to the head (its name was Silver Blaze)).

    Today I started the real work. Not too much, but it’s a nice start.
    First, I cleaned up the nubs; including the parts I’m not gonna use.
    After that; I replaced the hands with the Builders Parts MS Hand EFSF 04 (http://hlj.com/product/BAN982335); which are bigger, more detailed and more futuristic looking.
    And last; I started scratchbuilding the waist, I took an ankle guard from the HGUC The O, which will be the crotch piece; I did some cutting an beveling, and as you can see in the photo it still needs a lot of cleanup and puttying. The gray part is the inner frame for the crotch, which will be partially exposed; it’s still very rough, but once I clean the edges and start adding details it will look very nice.

    Happy building, guys! Enjoy the competition (^o^)/
