MSM-03 GOGG Heavy-armed custom with extra large torpedoes launchers
Model kit used: MG 1/100 GOGG
Background:
The first amphibious mobile suit for the Zeon's forces - "Gogg", is a high output, powerfull M.S. first equipped with "Mega particle guns", it also comes with "Torpedoes" for long range attracks ; "Iron Nail claws" for close-quarters combat. Due to its high speed underwater cruising and heavy armaments which caused the Earth Federation a real hard time during the One Year War!
Model making:
More powerfull weapons:
My initial approach was to make a "Heavy-armed" Gogg with loads of weapons. Two oversized torpedoes mounted on the back to make the MS more powerfull and unique. Additional "Mega particle guns" added on both palms, so it becomes six "Mega particle guns" altogether including the original two in the center torso.
Added details:
The MG kits itself doesn't comes with much details, so I added a couples all over the unit such as thruster, hooks, rivets and panel lines.
I have sized down the window on the head to create a more excited and "evil" look for this zeonic "Bad guy". For the mono eye, an L.E.D. is installed on top of the original ball joint to maintain its moveablity as it was before.
Colouring:
I have used similar colorway as its original design, only the black parts on the legs has changed to the same brown as the main body color, the result is a bit different with a hint of realistic, military look. The paints I used are the Mr.Color military series semi-matt brown and yellow for the main colors, while the internal frame is painted with German aircraft dark grey. Lastly, a bit of enamel dry brush and chipping of dark grey and silver is applied on the model as a final touch.
