Shin Kage Musha Gundam Exia (真.影武者頑駄無Exia)

One day I realized I had a whole lot of spare parts of MG Musha Gundam(真武者頑駄無) and 1/100 Exia gundam for some random Gunpla modding project and wanted to make some good uses of them. 

This product is actually inspired by two works:

1. Ebinawa Kanetake Sensei's original idea of creating Avalanche Gundam Exia - an Exia equipped with traditional japanese musha-like armors 

2. An old-time BB-senshi character called Nomanu appeared with its newest form in Musha Retsuden(武者烈伝). In the story, Nomanu is the 影武者 (kage musha = political decoy) of 武者頑駄無 with great agility, which fits pretty well with the image of Exia.

Long and painful painting procedures
Done painting!

The head armament(e.g. lion) and the shooting
star are from BB-279 Onmitsu Nomaru

So here it is, with the final product.
