Q/A & Help Group 9 years, 5 months ago Ok, so I have been trying to figure out what was done to this Serpent Custom model to increase the bulk of the suit. I have gotten so far as to determine the use of a 1/100 Gundam Virtue, possible resin casting, and scratch building with pla plate. My japanese is not early sophisticated enough to actually comprehend what the text says. Can anyone give some insight as to what you can tell is going on? Thanks.

Sorry I haven’t a clue, but OMG it’s frickin’ awesome!!!
my best guess is alot of extensions using plates.
from the images I can see that atleast 3 kits are used in this build, Tallgeese III, Virtue, and the Serpent itself. the waist and shield is Tallgeese, and the legs are Virtue. It’s clear however that the front of the chin is from the serpent itself since the virtue doesn’t have that little knee part. that’s as much as I can tell. No idea how that bazooka thing was made but the back of it looks like part of the Tallgease shoulder weapons. also in case anyone is wondering I know it’s the tallgeese III and not the Tallgeese ver ka because of the shield, the ver ka shield wouldn’t have that engraved bird design.
Hope this helps
Thank you so much! I love the serpent custom and I want to do something like this since the 90’s 1/100 HG kit is…. well…. 90’s quality. The Bazooka comes with the 1/100 kit btw.
PLUS the extra bulk makes this MS look like formidable juggernaut.
Oh and do you have any idea how the mods would have been done?
its pretty hard to know exactly what might have been done in any specific mod, but the second image you posted showed a pic of the model put together but unpainted and in that you could see some of the Tamiya masking tape, that tape’s presence would suggest that a modification happened in that area, though in this case I see some tape on the gun barrels and they don’t seem to be modified so it’s a bit confusing. also looking at an image of the serpent itself from the gundam wiki it seems like that waist assembly may just be the serpent itself.
