MG Stormbringer

Introduction:

In my opinion, the Stormbringer is one of only a few good designs to come out of Build Divers. But, it’s also a design that I’ve gradually cooled on, the line art for the design is fantastic, but the model doesn’t quite live up to that. The Stormbringer is based on the GM Turbulence, which is in turn based on the GM Dominator and GM Sniper II. The Stormbringer, therefore, has many of the same proportions and styling cues as those other models.

Kit Talk:

There are a few problems with the Stormbringer that needed to be fixed. The side boosters on the calf of each leg have a nasty seam line about 2/3rds of the way across the part. Fusing this seam was a challenge due to the details present. Additionally, there was a nasty gap in the front of the ankle guards. I fixed the gap by painting the grey and white parts separate, fusing the two halve of the white armor together and then painting the white parts

During the final assembly, I noticed that the arms and shoulders had become very floppy. It made posing the kit rather difficult as a result.


I based the color scheme of my kit on the ‘animation’ colors of the Gundam. The bright colors are somewhere between a pastel and fluorescent color.
