Step Three: Putting It All Together

  1. This model came with two heads as it allowed you to make a Commander Geara Doga (on the right) and a peon Geara Doga (your left):

  2. Kobun
to Oyabun Heads

  3. Being that the Commander's flattop was just not working, Ben decided to use the peon head for this model. At one point he had drilled a a hole in the neck and the heads with the drill attachment of the drummel tool. He had then dropped a little metal wire inside this hole to allow for head swapping and rotation. In the end, he glued the peon head onto the shoulders however since the COMMANDER HEAD WAS UGLY
  4. At any rate, since the pieces were dry fitted during step one putting the model together was quite easy, little pieces to big

  5. It's 
got legs

  6. Another modification made was in the positioning of one of the legs to allow for a crouching pose. Instead of gluing the pieces straight up, Ben simply glued the toes as if standing on the tips rather than full against the ground. Also, a little piece of the calf had to be shaved to allow for the thight to fit better...

  7. Final Touches Before Gluing

  8. Last, but certainly not least, was the creative positioning of weapons, the coup de grace shall we say, as in, putting as many of the the guns, bazookas, sabers, detonation devices on the model as humanly possible ("Over kill? what's that?") If the Zion mechs had half as many weapons as the Geara Doga, they could have kicked Hathaways' whiny ass easily in something called, "the 3 Second War"
