I should post here more often, but then I don't post much anywhere at all ;P
I entered the European Gunpla Cup over at the MACforums.

I wanted to finish another robot for the competition, but I needed to much time and extra bits I don't have the money for yet...
So I started with the next kit in line, an incomplete HG Ginn (insurgent or mobile or whatever). It missed the back of the torso and the backpack/wings.
I used an orange torso part (I think from a GM) to complete the torso, and decided the model needed beefing.
So the legs were enlarged with ~2mm spacers (I didn't measure ;P) and the torso with a HG Dom torso and bacpack.
I also added an extra thruster assembly on each leg to add just a bit more mass. arms and shoulderpads are also from the HG Dom. The Ginn arms were just to feeble.
I barely manage to finish this in time, too much to do on the model and too little time because of work and kids...
Because I didn't have the time I didn't do any panel lining, weathering or adding warning decals, maybe later.. But I don't think so.
I don't like the paintjob too much, but my wife does, so it works out ;P
After painting him I thought a darker colour would be more fitting... too late I guess.
I also never finished his heavy weapon,but I'll add it in the near future.
Pre paint:
