To start off sorry for the lack of more WIP photos but workers sporadic and I did large amounts of painting and building in single sittings.

With that out of the way onto the final product

Last shot before I begin weathering and painting in the pattern I have in mind.

With everything done I feel good about how the suit came out. I was inspired by the concept of making a junker suit so that’s what I did. The story behind what the suit is it’s meant to be an old test bed for the jesta’s equipment slapped onto a Jegan. Hence mismatch of features from both the Jegan to the Jesta.

The shoulders and legs I pinstriped with gray and yellow make it seem more of a test type machine

After that was done I heavily weathered the suit up with some gunmetal, gray, silver, and a hint of bronze

Overall I feel the jesta is a solid kit like 8/10 solid. But I feel it could use more accessories as the shield, a single beam saber, and a really good beam Rifle don’t really pull me in on accessories. However where this kit excels in is it’s articulation and build quality; this is one of the best MGs I’ve built so far it’s 2nd on my list from the MG Zaku ii 2.0.

While that build scratched my GM/Gundam needs in an MG scale. I’m now itching for a mono eyed suit maybe something that rhymes with Beara Moga?
