Gunpla Custom Build : RG 1/144 Hi-ν Gundam HWS – Second Form by @arx0716

The RG 1/144 Hi-ν Gundam HWS – Second Form, masterfully customized by the Gunpla builder @arx0716, stands as an exemplary model of unique modification and intricate detailing.

This project presents a custom HWS (Heavy Weapon System) Second Form for the Hi-ν Gundam, featuring a semi scratch-built approach.

Most of the HWS armor was created using plastic plates, giving the build a clean and consistent structure. The only major exception is the leg-mounted boosters, which add bulk and reinforce the heavy equipment concept.

The head was replaced with an Entry Grade version, resulting in a sharper and slightly more modern facial expression. This change subtly alters the overall impression while maintaining compatibility with the rest of the design.

The “Second Form” concept emphasizes increased armor and firepower, transforming the Hi-ν into a more heavily equipped variant. Despite the additional mass, the build retains a balanced silhouette thanks to the uniform construction method using plastic materials.

Overall, this is a straightforward but effective custom that highlights how scratch-built armor and selective part replacement can significantly evolve an already iconic mobile suit design.
