Gunpla Custom Build : HG 1/144 Schwarzette: Custom by @so_chang

The HG 1/144 Schwarzette: Custom, masterfully customized by the Gunpla builder @so_chang, stands as an exemplary model of unique modification and intricate detailing.

The concept began with a simple thought: "What if the Guardians mounted on the waist could resemble a V.S.B.R.?" From that idea, the build evolved. Along the way, the silhouette started to resemble units like the Stamen and Vidar, which inspired the final color scheme.

To enhance the unit’s back profile, a booster unit was added using modified Builders Parts. From the same parts set, a beam machine gun was selected as the primary weapon.

The original sword that came with the kit was omitted due to a failed attempt at modifying the beam effect part.

To give the machine gun a more protagonist-like feel, a barrel extension was added, making it resemble a beam rifle commonly used by main characters.

From the back view, the custom booster layout can be clearly seen.

The highlight of the build was achieving the V.S.B.R.-style pose, which was the core motivation behind the entire concept.

During assembly, a minor issue occurred where the left knee, which had been seam-line corrected, cracked slightly. As a clean fix didn’t seem likely, the damage was left as-is.

Additional structural modifications were made for better proportions:

• The shoulder joints were extended outward by about 2mm from the torso.
• The torso itself was also lengthened.
• Both the forearms and upper arms were extended to enhance the overall silhouette.
