    I build, customize, and paint Gunpla. I finished this one a couple days ago.

        While technically, anything you do to them outside of building them per the instructions would be customizing them, I was referring to modifications I made to the model itself. For this one in particular, I raised the neck and collar up by 2mm and cut the back of the head back by 1mm to allow for better head movement. Here’s the full list of everything I did:

        • made the modifications stated above
        • custom paint job
        • resin detail up kit (various greebles on feet, legs, front skirts, shoulders, and shield)
        • metal detail up kit (verniers, elbow & knee joints, gun barrel, and power pipes around the waist)
        • holographic decals
        • matte topcoat

        Here’s how the model looked prior to any customization:
