PROJECT: AGE-2 GUNDAM

I think I'll start a new segment of customs (paint and otherwise) that I have either made or am in the process of making. For this first article, I wanted to talk about something that I really really wanted to do but I never had the money for it. Its the combination of the HG AGE-2 Double Bullet with two more of its "Bullets".

The Double Bullet had to be one of my favorite Gundams from the AGE line, it was sleek, powerful, and yet not that overwhelming. But it did have a major flaw, its transformation. That will be addressed later.

With the transformation aside, I wanted to make a more menacing version of the Double Bullet and I thought. "hey! why not put more weapons on it? That should be a good idea right?"

After much tinkering and research, I was able to come up with a good design where I would place 2 of the dods cannons on the forearms to resemble the AGE-1 Gransa. Unfortunately someone beat me to the punch and one -upped me. You can see the image below. It does look cool I have to admit, but it wasn't what I was going for. I liked the balance and the looks of the AGE-2 not the over poweredness of it.


So I wanted to include the mechanics that this person was able to use for the arms and combine him with the Gundam AGE-2 Normal's Back Wing Binders and Hyper Dods rifle similar to the picture below:


Of course I probably won't be doing the color scheme or the modifications to the Hyper Dods, I like symmetry after all. Stay tuned for more updates on this project!
