Description
I had been wanting to do a kitbash for the GM Sniper Custom ever since I completed the GM Cannon kitbash for my White Dingo Team project- blayaden.deviantart.com/art/Wh…
This conversion was pretty much the same in many respects. The old 80's MSV kit's proportions were too antiquated for the newer kits proportions, so a lot of trimming and modifying had to be done. Instead of using the HGUC GM as the base, I decided to use the HGUC Gundam due to its superior articulation and build quality (This was before the HG Gundam Reivive came out as well.)
I didn't have a spare HGUC GM head to spare, but I did have several GM (G) heads from the Gundam Ground War set, as well as leftover GM (G) heads from the P-Bandai White Dingo GM Sniper II that used the same runner as the Ground War set. With the visor covering most of its face, its a hardly noticible difference- plus the GM(G) head is better than the HGUC GM's head due to its inner mechanics.
Overall this was a fun experience and I think the finished product looks pretty good. Since my old GM Sniper Custom was painted in "traditional" colors, I decided to go with the Zeta-era colors from the Jaburo invasion episodes for this model. However, I forgot that the Zeta-era GM Sniper Customs used green visors though. Ah well.
