Gunpla Custom Build : SD World Heroes Shining Grasper Ultimate Dragon by @houjou_mikado

The SD World Heroes Shining Grasper Ultimate Dragon, masterfully customized by the Gunpla builder @houjou_mikado, stands as an exemplary model of unique modification and intricate detailing.

The Shine Grasper Dragon was created as a homage to the three-headed dragon from a certain trading card game. The model is painted with a pearlescent finish to make it sparkle. The builder learned about the modification method from followers and overseas modelers, gaining knowledge and inspiration from them. However, instead of simply replicating their work, the builder added their own interpretation, enabling the additional neck to move.

The three-piece wing features a middle feather left intentionally unpainted to give the impression of a single giant feather. The additional neck base was modified to be movable, and the original neck base was adjusted and attached to the shoulder. This adjustment was particularly challenging.

The following method was introduced :

• 1. Prepare three dragons, and borrow the heads and upper parts from two of them.
• 2. Rotate the neck part 180 degrees so that the fin side faces forward.
• 3. Insert the neck fin into the slit in the arm part.
• 4. Once done, return the arms to their original position, creating a three-headed dragon.

This method allows for the recreation of a three-headed dragon without any modifications or cutting and pasting.
