Gunpla Custom Build : HG 1/144 Gundam 00 Diver Arc [ Evil Version ] by @akasaha1124

The HG 1/144 Gundam 00 Diver Arc [ Evil Version ], masterfully customized by the renowned Gunpla builder @akasaha1124, stands as an exemplary model of unique modification and intricate detailing.

akasaha1124 has created the Gundam 00 Diver Arc that appears in Gundam Build Metaverse by mixing and changing the coloring.

They designed a machine that initially serves as an enemy in the early stages but transitions to become an ally in the middle stages, deviating from the typical final boss style.

akasaha1124 watched the anime in real-time and found the build style intriguing and distinct from other works in the series. Despite the kit being released about three months prior, they managed to complete it in time. The motivation provided by Gansta's Build Series Contest played a significant role in their completion of the project, for which they express gratitude.

Initially purchasing the kit as a temporary option, akasaha1124 found themselves impressed by the finely divided parts and decided to continue working on it rather than merely using it for part mixing.

One notable modification involved mixing the lower body using the Gundam Seltsam Backpack from Freedom, particularly appreciating its volume enhancement. They express a desire to acquire more of these backpacks when they become available again.

They experimented with light-condensing resin, finding that layering clear red over a clear green part resulted in a pleasing red color rather than brown as initially expected.

Imagining the transfer of their creation into the Metaverse world, they utilized a smartphone to scan it, expressing a desire for such technology to become a reality for playing with various aircraft.

Taking advantage of a contest held by Pachi-gumi GUNSTA, akasaha1124 decided to create an original aircraft for participation, opting to mix various components including a 7-Eleven exclusive Golden Freedom backpack.

To address the lack of volume in the lower body, they incorporated modifications, including extending the waist by 1-2mm using putty.

Preferring a quicker finish, they opted out of detailed streaks or plastic boards, considering it an easy finish this time.

Painting involved a gradation of red on the wings, with specific paints used for different parts including gray, black, and red, as well as top coating for a matte finish.

In summary, akasaha1124 mixed and completed their original aircraft based on the HG Gundam 00 Diver Arc, feeling satisfied with the creation of their own unique design. They plan to take more photos and explore additional pose variations when the opportunity arises.
