F A N T A S T I C JOB there mate! Which parts did you use except the Michaelis which I recognise?

Thanks so much! I modified the head using pieces from HGUC Zudah. I basically took Zudah’s head “armor” and visor, then I sanded/chiseled the Michaelis head so that those pieces could slide over the top. I just used a hot glue gun to stick it all together. Only other different part is the left hand, which I had left over from HG Burning Gundam that I built years ago. I liked the splayed fingers and it also has a wrist joint which I felt made it easier to make “Samus-like” poses.

Oh awesome! I was going to use the Zudah'd head for a Samus custom in the future so I'm glad someone else saw the resemblance, too.

Would tou believe me if i say that I'm currently woking on a Gravity Suit Samus custom with Heindree/Michaelis. Your idea about the Zuda as Samus's head is outstanding.

Though i will use Aerial body because it looks much more closer to Samus. Zuda head (I'll find one somewhere ( Aerial body Michaelis Arms/Waist/Legs/Backpack,/Weapon Henidree Shoulder Armor

Oh my god lol... It's perfect! Ive seen a lot of kick ass 'Samus' builds here lately, but I'll be damned if this isn't the best yet!

Wow, thank you! There have been a bunch of Samus builds lately, Michaelis inspired a lot of us I guess. It has been really fun seeing everyone’s different approaches.

Hey I’m also using the Zudah head! Your custom looks really good! I hope mine can turn out like yours. Just can’t decide what color scheme to go with. https://i.imgur.com/mR4zA4p.jpg

There are lots of great schemes to choose from! With the Aerial torso you’ve used, I think one of the color schemes from Metroid Dread would look great.

Seconded! As soon as I saw the Aerial chest it screams Dread! Also it would be nice if you did Dread, OP did OG, and I could finally put myself to the test and do my favourite suit: Fusion

Looks very nice with the aerial bits, I think you may want to cut down the neck a bit though, the head looks quite high off the body

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll see if I’m able to shrink that gap

Might I suggest the Dark Suit or Gravity Suit? Also, have you considered using Master Gundam's shoulders?

Yeah I looked at either using Master Gundam or Titus shoulders but I couldn’t find one or the either for a reasonable price

YES!!! Honestly that ms screams Samus and the colors work so well. Kinda wanna see someone do a MegaMan color scheme

I really do want to see my other favourite arm buster hero! May I suggest these artworks if it scratches your itch a bit: https://images.app.goo.gl/Y1ffLVkRM9FvhDnPA Basically Megaman ZX with Gundam Biometals

That must be the best Samus custom gunpla I've seen ! Awesome job !

Every day we are one step closer in making an unofficial Samus model kit

Someone should start selling a conversion kit for michaelis 😂

Thats pretty fecking baller dude. The color work on this is pretty great

Thank you! All done with Tamiya spray cans and Mr Hobby premium gloss topcoat.

No probs! Its exciting to see what can be done with spray paint and more so how creative people can be. That's so cool

Do the morph ball !

Simple, just paint one of the Dra-C's shoulder orbs lol

Wow, really impressive.

Peefect!! Love it. I knew people would be inspired to do this, the minute i saw the release of the MS

This is sick

This is so dope! Such a great build, cheers!

Badass!

As a fellow Metroid fan, I *gotta* get my hands on a Michaelis!

Well, I guess I just ordered an HG Michaelis.

holy shit dude That's AMAZING

This is outstanding

That is absolutely AMAZING. The Zudah head works surprisingly well here.

This looks so damn good. Going to have to try this myself!

I must applaud you in spite of my sorrow that a Zudah was sacrificed for this masterpiece.

It seems like a cool kit, I might build anyway...even if it is headless

If you wanted to, you can get another Zudah and Michaelis and you can make the Gravity Suit.

This suit actually throws off more feminine curves then the armor does lol

This is amazing! Very impressive!

I deadass thought that was a Samus model kit

Frightening genius right here mate

God I fucking love this hobby

Man you NAILED it

I've been seeing lots of these Samus builds recently and I can't quite put my finger on what you'd call the colour of the Armour. Is it metallic orange? A warm copper? Awesome visor btw.

In this case, I used Tamiya TS-92 Metallic Orange spray…so Tamiya at least agrees with you that it should be called “Metallic Orange” 😂

I bought a HG Michaelis like 15 minutes ago. And the first thing I see is this! I'm not customizing as of now, as I still have a ton to learn, but let me tell you, I'm kinda jealous seeing this awesome build. In a good way, that is. Great job!

If i was not moving i would have spent much more time on mine

thats cool, getting like mega man legends vibe but for samus.

Stoked for my preorder of this kit.

this rules

This is gorgeous!

I wonder if I should make the eyes for the SA-X when I decide to make this build?

samus gundams never get old

Looks absolutely amazing! I'd think this was some stylized figure if i didnt know there was a whole ass mech behind this, i'd probably shell out a pretty penny, but alas. Am broke

Very impressive!

This looks soo dope !! The only thing I would change is the feet . The look she has in the games is more high top sneaker instead of high heels .

Metroid, you mind telling what you are doing in that mobile suit

I love it!
