Juggernaut Variant - centred upon the removal of excess armor for improved maneuverability and extra ventilation for the experimental multi-barreled beam rifle. Scope has been re-positioned to aim independently from the main cameras. With 4x energy packs attached directly onto the rifle for sustained rapid fire, the Juggernaut's role is to mow down enemies with overwhelming firepower.

Gundam model Grading system HG/MG etc

Here I will explain the differences between the grades and most of the terminology that are on the kits. I won't be going into short lived series such as the no grades or entry grade.

SD (Super Deformed)
Background - Super Deformed Gundams are mini sized with disproportionately large heads and small bodies, or also known as "chibi". These are usually quite cheap compared to their normal sized counterparts and are easier to construct and takes less time. They have gained popularity enough to have their own series with Super Deformed Gundams such as Superior Defender Gundam Force or the Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors featuring SD Gundams clad with armor.

Pros - Cheap, cute, easy to build/finish

Cons - Requires lots of stickers or painting to look good. Usually a lot of gaps/seam lines.

High Grade 
1/144 
1/100

Background - The 

Mega Size 1/48

Perfect Grade 1/60

Real Grade 1/144

Completed 1/100 MG MS-18E Kämpfer

MS-18 Kämpfer (ケンプファー Kenpufā^?) is a prototype mobile suit used by the Principality of Zeon that appears in the Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket OVA.Gundam-Wiki MS-18E Kämpfer (GundamWiki)

Being one of first Gundam series I watched when I was a kid, the Kampfer and Alex Gundam were probably the most influential in my decision to start Gunpla/Model Buillding. The Kampfer is probably the first piece of work of mine that marked a new level in terms of quality and overall look.

Build

Paint: Tamiya Spray Paint Mica Blue

Mods: Custom Decals (eBay)

Extra Thrusters 

Completed - 1/144 RGE-B790 Genoace

The RGE-B790 Genoace is the main mobile suit for the Earth Federal Forces which appeared in the Flit Arc of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. The unit is piloted by Largan Drace. (Gundam Wiki)

Completed - SD ZGMF-1000/A1 Gunner ZAKU Warrior & Lunamaria Hawke (Figure)

The ZGMF-1000/A1 Gunner ZAKU Warrior is a Mobile Suit in the series Gundam SEED Destiny. (GundamWiki)

During one of the trips to Japan had bought a SD Lunamaria Hawke so therefore I decided to do a combination with SD Lunamaria Hawke and also SD Zaku Gunner. I also have the 1/100 version but haven't even touched it for like 3 years lol. The main reason I started this kit was to test out some new "eyes" I had acquired.
