At middle of July, I organized a “Building GM” activity with my fds at the other forum. As this activity got to build a 1/100 GM, I originally targeted on the GM “Spartans” (by using 有 heart 人) only.

However…………… finally I’ve changed my mind as I saw someone post a GM combine with Powered GM and GM Spartan together at HKML ………….!! That’s looking so awesome and smart. And the “Heavy MS” feeling so impressed me as well. (Actually I like pretty much heavy type MS. So generally I like most FA Gundam…………… XD)

After a detail investigation and checking, finalizing different resources and references online (from HKML as well!! XD). I want to build my own GM. Its named is

RGM-79PS (Prototype)

Note: PS stand for “Powdered Spartans”

[joking mode] RGM-79PS? Can I have………..RGM-79SS, RGM-79PS2? Or even……….RGM-79Wii!! XD (Actually RGM-79PS (Prototype) can write as RGM-79PSP already…………….hahahaha!!![/joking mode]


Right now I assumed that’s about 40-50% finished (pretty much depends how much I still want to work on that………XD)!! As I’ve did start to work quite a while already, so that I would just post part of the old process at here, and would keep update from now on………!! (As due date is middle of Oct, got to be quick …………. orz!!) Enjoy that.


Record 1: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1042

Just start to build the GM + Spartans Parts.




No modification yet except some weapons and backpack that’s not belong to GM!!!








Record 2: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1124

Found the reference of Powered GM + Spartans Parts online. So tried to build that under similar method. And found that lot of modification got to work on…….!!




After combined those 2 different model of parts, the heavy weight of MS is so impressive.








Record 3: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1207

Very little work started from head. As I want to keep the “head machine gun” on the top of head, finally use the original RGM-79C’s head and adding Spartans parts together.








Record 4: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1208

After finished the head, I got to combine the Powered GM and Spartans breast part together. That’s the main goal of the whole modification as well.

I did a little bit of testing on the breast parts.




The combine look of the breast. Lot of parts got to be cut and refit again.








Record 5:http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1209

Main work on the modification of top armor. It got to cut to fit with the combining of GM top pack.




Openable pilot cover. Although that’s not quite necessary after the modification, I still would prefer to keep this “gimmick”!!








Record 6: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1276

After modified the breast, next part is the shoulders. As that’s a “heavy” MS, the shoulder got to fit the scale of size of the “BIG BREAST”!! XD




Using GP03D’s parts as extra fuel tanks. Seems that the look is ok, just bit too thin………..!!








Record 7: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1277

In order to get the Sniper’s pose, joints modification got to be carried out.




After the legs, waist modification, it seems that a better sniper pose can be put. But I feel that‘s still not enough. More modification should carry out at the waist.








Record 8: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1283

As aiming to get a better sniper pose, first time in the life to do such a big modification…………..!!




After fully modify, the pose is far far better, especially more “natural” to get the angle and direction of the body that I want.








Record 9: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1296

Increasing the thickness of the breast armor. So that can become much much “heavier”!! (would that too heavy?! XD)








Record 10: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1320

Shoulder shield amendment. The shield got to make longer for matching with the big size of shoulder.








Record 11: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1332

Adding details at the breast top armor, in order to match with the amended thickness of the breast armor.




Increase the thickness, also preparing to add more details at the waist front armor.








Record 11.5: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1435

Some sketch design on the weapons and internal armor pattern.






Record 12: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1466

Another first time, add “movable” (hydraulic type?) joint in Gunpla, fully DIY.




An added “changeable” parts at the top of shoulder for future add-on.








Record 13: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1505

Make the second joints at the shoulder armor.




As the breast part increased, also for the future armor adding, The width of the shoulder go to be increased. Finally decided to increase the length of joints to the arms.








Record 14: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1506

Weapons testing. Try to equip different type of weapons to see how would that match with the RGM-79 PS










Record 15: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1786

Markup, markup and markup. As too much idea in the mind, so got to sketch that out inorder to follow that to work step by step.










Actually still got several amendments that I’ve done already, but I got to take bit of time to write the details………….!! I would post that shortly!!

If brothers have any comment, please………..let me know to improve that!!! As I still have 1 1/2 month left to finish it……………hehehe!!!

Record 18: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1860

From the other reference, the back “fuel tank” (?) should be bigger as well. So that using plastic sheet to increase its thickness.

Next part is the shoulder details. Drilling holes to metal parts to increase the detail feeling at the big shoulders.

Yes!! After combined, that's looking very smart!!
You are definitely correct, this GM-PS would be the 主力機 in my "BY Test Team"!!!


That's a lot!! I like that pretty much as well!!

Thx for the suggestion brother. I won't cut those 2 side much as that's the "most attractive pt" of Powered GM. However...........more details would be added on there. I would work out something at that area, don't worry too much!!!

Anyway, thx for the idea!!!

This week update.

Continue with the work which have done before. After finished the design, I got to work the “real thing” out at the back of armor. Finally looking ok.






As bought a set of weapon before (by the introduction of Ya Ya brother!!). So………time to play with the different mode of the gun.






















Record 23: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=1997

The looking after finished on both sides.

Record 24: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/billy_yau1976/article?mid=2117

As the arms part basically finish, time to jump back to the backpack. As I want to achieve more details at the “exhausting” system, I got to cut away the existing parts first. Holes got to be drilled at the existing area.





As I want to do a testing on metal thrusters, I didn’t work further on the backpack. With the metal thrusters add-on, the backpack looks far far “heavy” and “powerful” than before……………..!!! XD
