Xeku Eins from Gundam Sentinel

I call this one "The Old One-Two," in reference to the unit number I applied to the legs.

HGUC Xeku Eins, mostly box stock with some custom equipment. The hand-held rifle is a Kotobukiya MSG part. The ECM package on the right shoulder came from an Armored Core action figure. The shoulder mounted missile launcher came from a Front Mission action figure. The hanger is a Kotobukiya Mechanical Chain Base, with a couple of items of the Xeku's original equipment as details (Rifle mounted to the back wall, ammo container mounted to the truck). Figures are Wave 1/144 Mobile Staff, with one positioned to appear as if he's floating to the mecha in zero-g. Paints are Model Master enamels, Tamiya acrylics, and Krylon grey primer as the base color of the Base. I used the same colors as on the Sturm Dias model I have previously posted, intending the two mecha to be members of the same squadron.

This model won 3rd place in the regional open category in the Bandai model contest at the 2010 NY Comic Con and Anime Festival.

I have since applied a clear flat coat to the mecha model, but do not have updated photos.
