Gunpla Custom Build : MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Lupus by @ONIchan

The MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Lupus, masterfully customized by the Gunpla builder @ONIchan, stands as an exemplary model of unique modification and intricate detailing.

The MG Gundam Barbatos Lupus has been completed with weathering applied for the first time. Previous builds were limited to straight assembly, panel lining, and matte topcoat, making this project a step into new territory.

Using online tutorials as guidance, the builder experimented with surface wear effects to give the Lupus a more battle-worn presence. Subtle grime, edge chipping, and tonal variation help break up the flat armor surfaces and enhance the mechanical realism of the kit. For a first attempt, the approach shows strong control, avoiding excessive damage while still conveying combat history.

Weathering suits Barbatos particularly well, as its design already emphasizes raw, physical combat. The added texture reinforces that rugged identity and adds depth beyond a clean finish.

This project marks a clear progression in skill development. With continued practice—especially in layering, color modulation, and controlled chipping—the builder can expand into more advanced painting techniques and even full custom finishes.
