Building a Gundam is Art! Custom-painted Susanowo Trans-AM HG Version!
Source
This is a Susanowo Gundam. The image above is the box cover image below is a built Susanowo Trans-AM mode, got the image from this site cause I was not able to capture any while building it.

This was actually a gift by @jassennessaj for my kid, haha, I have a 1-year old btw but I said 'Gundam' when he asked what to give Zion for his birthday and to my surprise, he shipped one. It was a Susanowo, HG.
The parts were of 3 colors: black, pink and magenta. As you can see in this image grabbed from the same source as above:

So, I have decided to paint it with a different color. Black and Silver. I used Spray Paint for this job.

By the way, it's only my first time to custom-paint a gundam build. I plan to do more like this so that Zion has a stash of Gundam! (He won't probably be allowed to play, stuck in a glass cabinet for him to look at and appreciate lol)
Here's Zion's Custom-painted Susanowo Trans-AM
Buildin a Gundam is not really that easy. Even if you're not painting it. You have to make sure to cut the parts clean. Not breaking any. Make sure you don't lose any piece at all. It also takes time to build, more than 2 hours. Painting it adds up to the difficulties.
The paint-over I did isn't that simple as well. If you look at the photos closely, it's not plain silver nor plain black. It has little speckles in it. I used two colors for it, varying how far or how much I spray onto a certain part.
The Power of Creation is in your hands!
Maraming Salamat!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!

Definitely not a great-looking Gundam but a menacing one, nevertheless. From what Gundam series is this featured in? I only saw from Gundam Wing to Gundam Unicorn.
My first thought was, this isn't a Gundam. I believed that for a few days intol I Googles it haha. It said it was in Season 2 of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
Wow Gundam!! I remember my childhood. It's ok to reinvent the color to make it unique. Malupet Kabayan. 😊
Thanks! Gusto ko nga mag-customize ng madaming Gunpla, if you look at my Facebook puro shares ng Gundam minsan haha.
Woot a Gundam. I have never been interested in building and then painting one myself but a close friend of mine loves spending time on it. I will be showing this to him so that he can get interested with steemit.
That's cool. Show him @gundamguy too. He posts gundam dunno if he's still active. I helped him get earnings before.
So para sayo pala talaga yung gift. :D :D :D
Nakakalibang nga mag build ng mga ganyan, lalao yung gusto talaga si Gundam. :P
Hahaha. Mahirap nga lang mag-build. Yung iba seryoso sa ganto.
This is one of my favorite cartoon anime in my time. You did a great job by painting it black and silver. I agree with you when you said that it is not easy to build a robot like that. Awesome!
I haven't really watched many episodes/series of Gundam. I've been a fan of the figures only. The only time I took interest in the anime was when Iron Blooded Orphans were released, as well as Thunderbolt.
Congrats to your Gundam.. I have 2 gundam too but havent custom paint it.. With what I saw with your post, Im thinking of putting a paint in my own Gundam..
I suggest try it, be really careful though.
Actually looks better than the original! Too bad Zion won't be able to play with them :P
Salamat, he tried, everything went to pieces lol.
nice 3X amazing haha
Hahaha salamat!
I think sir, this is good if you will make an investment from this artwork you have right now and children will buy it in my opinion because of its popularity or it is a robot.
That sounds like a plan. :D
Gunpla oh! Nice nice this can be a good hobby too but it is somehow expensive (ಥ_ಥ) . During conventions I think they are also selling some of these din.
It's not really expensive, some kits cost less than Php500. You don't have to go with MG or even PG. Even SD's alright. It will be amazing to customize a whole bear guy collection!
