From the Modeler:

This is my first new work in about a year since last year’s KOB participation work. This year, I also created it as a participation work for “KING OF CORE GUNDAM -K.O.C.-“.

Core Gundam 2.50 A machine with a reinforced frame to support the enlarged armor based on the Core Gundam II. In fact, the stiffness of each joint has been reinforced, and the hip joint part has been newly added and increased in width.

Uranus Armor = Nova A pure reinforced form with increased firepower, armor, and thrust. The mounting position and angle have been adjusted so that each part spreads out radially. I was conscious of the silhouette of the STG’s own ship.

Uranus Armor = Nova (riding form) It can be boarded by the Core Gundam with 30MM joints. I modified it because I thought it would be like this in the main anime.

I adjusted the position so that the verniers are concentrated on the back of the rear view. I also like how it looks

The ultimate Euraven Gundam, created by Nova in pursuit of high performance. In exchange for its super high performance, it comes with the bonus of extremely difficult operability.

Uraven is used as a base, and various parts are mixed together, including Gundam AGE-1FG, Gunvolva, …, 30MM, etc.
The paint is a black base with Mercury Black Primer, and is painted with acrylic, Vallejo, and some enamel, as usual, using a water-based base.
I was planning to finish it with a more low-visibility finish, but I changed course halfway through and tried a heroic color scheme. I think it turned out pretty well!

I won’t go into details, but this is the Core Gundam before painting. I think you can see where I made my changes.

Mounted form. I had a hard time adjusting it until it fit well. I increased the range of motion of the neck so that it doesn’t look down.

Before painting the combined form, I was worried because there were many parts that I messed up, but when I finished it, I was very satisfied with the finished product! Thank you for reading to the end
