Barbatos Lupus Red Eyes
Barbatos Lupus Custom WIP #1 Barbatos Lupus Custom WIP #2 Barbatos Lupus Custom WIP #3 Barbatos Lupus Custom WIP #4. I found some pictures of the mods I dropped. Looking at the kit now, I think it was for the best. Still, figured some of you might find them interesting. Barbatos Lupus is featured with a sword mace, which allows Mikazuki to continue to smash his enemies using a mace, but with lighter weight compared to his spear hammer that is found on the normal Barbatos. As you may have already noticed in the Inner Frame, I have used metallic red to color the eye sensors instead of using a metallic green. This is because I remembered its eye sensors changed during the battle with Hashmal. The MS was still in Lupus version but I thought I should apply it on the Rex version as well.

AboutThe Gundam model is the main protagonist’s mobile suit in the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Barbatos Lupus is the successor and upgraded version of the mobile suit Gundam Barbatos. The name “ Lupus” was given by the head Teiwaz technician after doing some major overhauls on the Gundam. The mobile suit was overhauled and designed to be used in close quarter combat as this was the preferred style of mobile suit pilot, Mikazuki Augus.It keeps the classic white, blue, red, yellow, and grey theme that many protagonist’s Gundam mobile suit swag with. They added more armor plate on the arms and added another set of plates around the shoulder pads.
The upgrades puts more emphasis on more using the arms as weapons.Barbatos Lupus is featured with a sword mace, which allows Mikazuki to continue to smash his enemies using a mace, but with lighter weight compared to his spear hammer that is found on the normal Barbatos. The sword mace looks pretty damn cool, as it keeps the sharp feel of a sword but provides a unique flare to the Gundam, as it is one of the few Gundam’s that still utilizes a blunt weapon.Compared to the regular Barbatos Gundam, this mobile suit seems to have more plate and seems to protect the joints more.
More plate gives us more chances to add more panel lining! Customization Panel LiningI used a fine point black Gundam marker and a pink pencil eraser. The pen for the lining, and the eraser for cleaning up. The black on white really puts emphasis on the Gundam’s edges. Which creates a nice contrast to the white.
It makes you think that those are all the places where patches and large plates of metal were welded together.Here I have some pictures depicting what the Gundam looks like before and after I panel lined it.I used the black Gundam marker for the exhaust areas too which give it a nice pop to them. It really shows that these exhaust plates have some shadow to them and as if it was exhausting some dark residue. I find that this gives it a nice contrast to the individual pieces.Compared to the, this mobile suit definitely has a lot more crevices that allow more usage of the panel lining technique.
Which I personally like much more because it allows the chance to provide a more plated look to the Gundam. Kind of comparing to knights in armor, the more complex plated ones look cooler. Kind of the same deal here.What does suck though about having more crevices is that it takes a lot more work to get them all and then clean them. For this specific model, you can tell I was multi-tasking.
I was panel lining this Gundam while I was on the computer playing World of Tanks. Multi-tasking does help make the time go by while I am waiting for a game while cleaning up the panel lines.Today, my wife was having fun looking up Gundam tools. She was showing me some alternative panel lining tools and crevices dremel tools. Supposedly the panel lining tool makes it so you don’t have to clean as much. I don’t want to refer what these tools are yet until I’ve used them myself!
I’ve seen and read some other gunpla builders where they use hand dremels to make their own crevices so they can panel line more and make the model look more plated and badass. Hand Brush PaintingI got some acrylic paints to try to make this Gundam as close to what I have seen on the show. The side boosters had some small blue parts where the pressure it creates comes out at.
I had a little bit of a hard time getting a clean look on it. Maybe if I had the dremel tool that I talked about earlier in the panel lining section, maybe I would’ve had a better defined edges to work with. Just some thoughts.I also got some emerald green paint to put around crevices that portray a power symbol on the knees. This is the same color most people use for the eyes on Gundam mobile suits.
These have some nice solid crevices which made it easy to both put in and clean. I don’t know how much I stress that cleaning it, is more important than being able to put it in nicely.I added some paint on the shoulder pads, gears, pipes, and the toes, because it just seemed cool and I happened to already have those colored paints. They gave it some additional fine details to the Gundam. The pipes and gears seem to blend in well with the grey that the model came with. The shoulder pads was something I saw on the box, so I decided to copy it.

The toes were pretty hard to paint and to clean it. As it was so close to neighboring pieces of the model. It also had some really sharp crevices which made it really hard to get something like a q-tip with acrylic thinner or an erase to get it nicer. If anyone has some recommendation, feel free to comment below and I’ll try to redo it on this Gundam and I’ll be sure to try it out on my next set of Gundam models.
ConclusionThe segmentation and interactions between the Gundam pieces were quite nice on this Gundam. Bandai has improved immensely over the years upping the standard for high grade level models. I am thoroughly impressed that this is considered to be a high grade model, and it has such great segmentation of pieces, stiff joints which allow the model hold it self up, and some nice crevices to be used for panel lining!.This was a great Gundam model for those who are wanting to get into to gunpla but have something that can show with results. With my earlier picture in the panel lining section where I showed before and after panel lining, the model still looks pretty good. This is also a great model for those who want to get into panel lining and has plently mix cases for both easy to clean and some what harder to clean crevices. I certainly learned a lot from panel lining this model. Thanks to my wife listening to my annoyances, I might be able to use a tool that would make this process and job easier.
Anyone can provide infos regarding the effectiveness of Nano-Laminate armor against directed energy weapons?But, Strike is in a serious disadvantage, as it's powered by a rechargeable battery, which it's imperfect Phased-Shift armor just drains the charge uncontrollably. As oppose to the Barbartos Lupus, which have a Ahab reactor that's keep going for centuries.Mika is likely to use the two 200mm smoothbore guns on Barbartos Lupus's forearm to drain Strike's battery, then use the Mace sword or twin mace to deliver the coup de grace.Or he could just use his usual way of fighting, just use the twin mace to bash Strike's armor with brunt kinetic force, until Strike's armor or frame finally gives in. Click to expand.Extremely straight, blunt, brutal in terms in dealing damage.Extremely adaptable in tactics. (Enemy saws a flaw in his movements, hits Mika, Mika immediately changes movement pattern; Hates the Katana at first, but learns to use it effectively in fighting by himself)Never suffered emotion breakdowns in combat.Smashes opponent to death by specifically targets the cockpit straightaway with no doubts, not talk his enemy to death, or spare their lives by targeting arms/legs/sensors/weapons. Click to expand.Not even nearly immune. As shown in the subsequent episode the armor can't take more than one or at best a few hits.Worse, the feats of IBO beam weapons don't even approach the feats from Gundam SEED yet.Vaporizing 40m wide holes in colonies is in the low kiloton range, IIRC and that was by an early and overall weak beam weapon compared to what the G-Project entailed.Launcher Gundam might be a bit extreme example but regardless it did this:Nearly a kilometer wide hole and it's all vaporized within an instant.
