Review + mod : 1/144 HG Gundam Exia (Extended)
Finally finished with the modded parts. I have to say I’m quite satisfied with it, since I’m able to come up with 3 mods for the Exia along the way.
Areas that I’ve modded:
-Drilled 5mm holes on the shoulder armor of Exia to accommodate the Kotobukiya peg for the mod pieces
-used spare polycaps for the main pivot joint for the shoulder
-spare boosters from my 1/144 HGUC Gaplant Hrairoo
-clipped off ends of the ‘wings’ on Kyrios’s knees
-spare kotobukiya ball polycaps with spare polycaps from old kits to extend the length of the connecting part between the ’shoulder’ and ‘leg’ parts of the mod.
-water slide decals from MG Freedom and HGUC set mostly.
This is the scout mode of the mod; the ‘booster’ parts are to facilitate the direction and movement and increase the output of the GN particles emitted on the backpack; increasing the mobility through short bursts of speed.
The ‘battle’ mode of the mod, which is similar in function with Freedom Gundam’s Hi-MAT mode.
I haven’t thought of a name for this mode, but it’s capability is similar to Launcher Strike and GP03D, with a GN particle output surpassing that of Virtue’s Cannon Mount mode.
Do note that I made up all my specifications in terms of the mod. But I based it according to references of the data that’s given in their normal specifications.

nice one there…
but how is he gonna fight with that contraption on?
tragic comedy>
the same way all bulky MS with binders move about. Examples are Freedom and Justice from Gundam Seed. Or even the Meteor Unit.
This reminds me of the Avalanche Exia Gundam. Good work!!!
Haha that looks awesome! I kind of miss gunpla building after seeing this.
wow…nice one, the exia not look skinny…..I just build it anyway and I’m not satisfied by it because the legs just ti skinny for me ^^ but with your extra hands, who will look for the legs ^^ see my build at my site….
Thanks for all the comments, and actually I’ve repainted the white portion of the shield which is not updated in the photos.
Also, TokyoNight your site is not loading.
You gotta be kiddin, this looks fucken crap, you are a beginner I see…
@’Korean King’
Oh no, I just take it with a shitty cellphone camera at night, that’s all. Give me constructive comments instead of ‘HAY IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP’.

where i can buy that
@nex
You can’t buy that anywhere else; it’s a custom mod. Please be reading the first paragraph of this entry. =)
nice mod man!.. pretty imaginative.
btw its painted too when the pics are taken?
oops missed ur comment on the shield, but exia was totally painted?
@kazeto
Yes I painted the kit via handbrushing mostly. Only the main frame’s exia’s blue was not painted.
Nice idea, quite creative, but, isnt it kinda funny? fighting with the leg. just saying. imagine, you plugging your friend’s leg to fight someone.. and if it really ends up going to battle field.. i think the mods will me destoryed quite fast, as it quite difficult to dodge with these. but still, i admire your creativity,seriously.
@timothy
Thank you for your constructive comments ^^
But yea, I take it as kyrios wasn’t built in the first place, and the lower part of the leg was the design of the ‘backpack’ instead.
