War Within Roadbuster (Japan Relief Charity Auction)
 

As a member of several TF sites, I will be contributing to several charity auctions, from Pro-Customizers to Sector 70. However, to help in any way I could with the effort in Japan I wanted to tackle a project that spoke to my love of Japanese culture, particularly anime. See, I'm a big Anime fan. At any given day you might catch me watching Bleach, Naruto, Samurai Champloo, Ghost in the Shell, or one of the many Gundam Series. I decided to do an Anime related auction because of that.


This is the HG 1/144 scale D-50C Loto from the Gundam Unicorn series. It really struck me how much he resembled a pre-earth Roadbuster. A few simple modifications have been made, like mounting the shoulder cannon to the rear backpack. This little guy (just under 3 and half inches) was all hand painted and sealed with Testors Model Master Flat Clear Acryl.


Auction proceeds will go to the Japan Red Cross. Gundam and Transformers. 2 of my favorite iconic franchises from Japan in one project. Enjoy! More pics HERE.

Whoa! It's so tiny! I thought it was about voyager size until I saw the pic with Ultra Magnus.

interesting use of a HG Loto.. but doesn't that mode break easily, as I remember hearing several breakage regarding this kit..
