New Project: HG 1/144 Ascalon Gundam (custom 00)

This post is long past due as I've been working on this for the last month or so.  This is a kitbash that I've been semi-planning in the background for the last few years, and it's changed a lot over that time.  Originally supposed to be based of the Destiny Gundam with the DX's backpack strapped to it, I then changed it to the 00 Gundam with the funnel layout of the Hi-Nu Gundam.  Ultimately I've finally made my decision on what it will be and it's a combination of most of my ideas.  It's going to be the 00 Gundam with the DX backpack on it and 2 to 4 funnels from the Nu Gundam; with the Nu's beam saber attached to the side armor of the 00.  It wasn't until I built the HG DX Gundam that I came to the final design for this build.  Here are some of the preliminary images from the project, however I'm already done with all modifications and am at the painting stage, so expect only 1 or 2 WIP's before that painting WIP.



The main kit used here will be the HG 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G, here are it's runners.  I will also be using the backpack/wing binders/cannon connectors from the HG DX Gundam; as well as the two funnel connectors/funnels/beam saber from the HG Nu Gundam.







The HG 00 Gundam Seven Sword just snapped together out of the box (without the yellow pieces in the chest and the clear parts on the head/arms/legs)




This is one of my other HG 00 Gundams that has been serving as a test kit for the final Ascalon.  Testing poseability here by having it slice an old Red Frame!
