I managed to get some time off to do my HGUC Jesta this week since its quite quiet at work. Just took a few quick in progress pictures hehe…
I added more pla plates to the shoulders to give a slight buff since I am going for a slightly muscular look. Kit bashed with Zanbanya’s rifle shield bits since he has tons of em 
I used a combination of Kotobukiya joints and spare spure to make the joint. Plus this weapon can be used on all my Jestas since its detachable ^^.
There will still be more work done on the shoulder cannon. At least I got the main joint done.
Till the next post!

Ehhhh~! You ALREADY done the shoulder cannon? D=
Was thinking of that too… but for both sides (means no shields).
Can’t wait to see the next one. =D

Haha Jesta Gun cannon
Nah the cannon still needs more detailing hehe. I will be leaving the shield for now, but I am thinking for the next Jesta I turn the shield into something similar to exia’s sword and shield combination ^^

Is that the Zabanya fence thinggy for the canon.. looks awesome!! love the pla-plate details.. that edges >_<… makes me want to rethink bout going Painted OOB or Pla-platings uguuuuu
chubbybots

Yep its from Zabanya hehe. (Sounds of a crying lockon..) Been looking around a lot of wip for pla plating kekeke….. but actually jesta even straight build is a beautiful kit!!

Oh interesting use of the second hole of the backpack to include something like a cannon of some sort like the Jesta Cannon. Looking very nice there, and it makes me really humble of my straight build Jestas so far~

That additional slot at the back pack can sure have a lot of room for mods and weapons. i was thinking making different back packs in order for the jesta squad to adjust accordingly to their mission ^^

Bulky won’t be a good think for units like the jesta

For me, that Zabanya shield bit actually balances the “asymmetry” (since it’s not really asymmetrical) brought by the shield attached to the backpack. Simple yet effective

Man this Jesta is getting more and more firepower:D Does the shield bit cannon include a rifle bit in it?
chubbybots
October 9, 2011
Haha no rifle bits I am afraid. I converted that part into something else ^^

is that kampfer’s shotgun?
heheh nice detailing chubbs
As for the thick plaplates, how about dong a beveled edge, I am sure it will look nicer.
chubbybots
October 9, 2011
Ah thanks for the tip man! The bevelling really help the pla plates look a lot better!!

Thanks! When did you order?

Nice mod! Will you be painting the extra armour plate? I’m still waiting to get my hands on this kit. I’m the lazy type so I will usually end up doing a straight build with overcoat.
chubbybots
October 9, 2011
This kit by itself, even with a nice flat coat is already a very nice kit! I will be painting the whole kit hehe.

How creative. Can’t wait to see how the cannon will look!
chubbybots

Thanks! I had that part lying around in my spare part box, just played around hehe..

just plain wow..
it’ll be like the full backbone of the army if all jesta’s will be armed like this
chubbybots
October 9, 2011
Haha this is more of a modular pack. But its experimental and very high cost to produce so probably you won’t see it in all the jesta hehe.

October 10, 2011
like the Re-Gz perhaps or the Gerbera hahaha

wowwow this guy is looking amazing with all the detail touch ups and that huge cannon add on. how do you do it?!?!
maybe i should add a grunt to my collection? XD
chubbybots
October 9, 2011
Hehe this is a worthy grunt to anyone’s collection haha!! I used a spare sprue and a koto joint for the part. Probably take some pictures for the next wip of that joint!
