Man, this thread has been has been dead for a while hasn't it?
Anyway I want to share the HG G-Bouncer I built. Actually I built this back in October-November last year, but didn't have time to take pictures and post because of college assignments. This kit is pretty rare, at least in my country. It can go up to around $70-$80, but luckily I got one around $16.
I like the overall design, which is close enough to be a Gundam but is actually not one. Also I'm actually a fan of AGEs suit design, especially those from the Earth Federation's side. They kind of struck the balance between simplicity and detailed look imo.
The build is pretty solid, and the articulation is very good, although the thigh may slightly hinder its leg movement. The accesories are pretty standart. Beam rifle, beam saber, and a shield. As you can see, the shield has pretty interesting design, resembling Wolf's insignia. The pointy tip of the shield can be removed and become a sword, but the grip for that sword is loose, so I don't pose it. The proportion is fine, but from some angle, it can look a bit off. Overall a solid kit albeit a bit outdated.
I didn't do panel line to this boy, because I planned to paint it over, and so I did.
I dub this suit the G-Bouncer Grey Hound.
This is the first time I repaint a kit. It turned out to be quite fun. I used soft tipped marker because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to use liquid paint, let alone airbrush due to budget and room space limitation. The weapons are from 30MM Sengoku Equipment. Luckily, the sword sheath can somehow fit into the backpack hole.
