けのさん’s mixing build HGUC/RG 1/144 Qubeley E.v.E -Ezeli ve Ebedi- many images, full info and credits
From the Modeler:
This time I tried mixing an RG Sinanju with an HG Qubeley.
Other production points are as follows.
Stripes
Detailed metal parts

About the MS name Ezeli ve Ebedi. Qubeley is derived from the name of an earth goddess worshipped in Phrygia (present-day Turkey), so I gave it the Turkish phrase meaning “eternal and immortal” and “absolute being.”
The coloring was based on the garage kit Qubeley and other examples by my predecessors.
I started designing it because I wanted to make a “Qubeley with sleeves” that appears in the Unicorn Gundam. There were two directions to take: either transplant the sleeve engraving from the Qubeley, or transplant the binder and funnel pod from the Sinanju to the Sinanju.
I thought it would be boring to make the same thing, since both of these had already been made by my predecessors, and after much deliberation, I settled on the current shape, with the upper body based on the Sinanju and the Qubeley elements concentrated in the lower body.
The shoulder binders of the Qubeley were transplanted to the lower body, and the funnel pod was further modified to mount the Sinanju shield, giving it a long tail look.
In addition to adding grooves to the head, I carved out the area around the mouth to make it look more “fox-like.” I also added antennas to both sides in place of ears.
The engraving was gold-plated, which made it a bit too shiny, but spraying on a matte clear coat gave it a more subdued color.
The boosters on the back are directly repurposed from the waist parts of the Sinanju. Also, in place of the small thrusters on each part, I added metal beads from the 100 yen shop.
When firing the arm beam gun. The RG Sinanju has a sliding mechanism that allows the beam tonfa to be deployed. As it is, it does not fit the caliber of the Qubeley’s beam saber, so I modified it a bit to make it into the mouth of the Qubeley’s beam saber/beam gun.
The binder was too wide and looked flat, so I cut the bottom end to create a sharp angle and used paneling to divide the base, significantly changing the silhouette. I also paneled the legs and added details.
The shoulder armor is a transplant of knee pads from a Qubeley. However, the shoulder joints are exposed and don’t provide any protection.
The shield mounted on the tail is removable, so it can also be equipped on the arm.
The four fingers of the HG Qubeley’s flat hand are molded as one piece, but if you cut off the molded parts connecting the fingers, you can move each one independently. This allows you to express a lot of different expressions with the hand.
