Gunpla Custom Build : HG 1/144 MSA-0010E ZIII [Elysium] by @96ganeya

The HG 1/144 MSA-0010E ZIII [Elysium], masterfully customized by the Gunpla builder @96ganeya, stands as an exemplary model of unique modification and intricate detailing.

The MSA-0010E ZⅢ, also called “Z-Try” with the pet name “Elysium” drawn from the concept of an ideal land, is a custom model that presents a striking interpretation of AEUG’s capture of the TR-6. Drawing inspiration from the Full Armor ZZ and ZZZ Gundam, it was created as a machine that bridges the lineage from the ZII to the ReZEL.

Built on a Barzam II frame, the model incorporates key elements from various AOZ kits such as the Hazel II and the Flauros, while mixing in components from the ZZII and the ReZEL Defenser b-unit for the arms and legs. Weaponry parts are sourced exclusively from 00 series kits.

The shield is mounted on the back via sub-arms at the waist, continuing the Hazel lineage of shield boosters. When positioned this way, the silhouette evokes the form of the ZII. Though designed with a transformable setting, its HG scale necessitates part swapping, and transformation was not reproduced due to build time constraints.

Even without weapons, the model demonstrates careful proportion adjustments—such as a slight extension at the waist—to refine its overall silhouette. Attention to detail extends to markings, especially on the shield, which tie into the custom backstory developed during the build.

This work stands out as a well-thought-out and skillfully executed mixing project that not only respects its source inspirations but also presents a cohesive and imaginative evolution within the Zeta lineage.
