The BFG is an upside down 1/144 0083 Gerberatetra Beam Rifle. I shorten the back and trim the bottom of the rifle so I can mount the gun under the arm. The snake chain cable connects the gun to the energy pack.
The energy pack and maching gun holder is one piece that can be Mounted on the back skirt armor.
The machine gun serves as backup weapon once the energy pack is exhaused. The ammo pack is stored in the side skirt compartment. This is to avoid unintentional ammo detonation by the backpack exhaust.
Original kit has fixed shoulder peg, which can be made mobile with some easy internal modifications. This greatly improves the arm mobility that allow the model to almost clip the ammo clip into the machine gun.
For a 1/144 model, I am pretty satisfied by the posability of this kit. The only thing I did to the knee is add a few mm inside of the knee joint. The waist is separated, and the hip joint are modified from two Kotobukiya double joints so they can swivel front to back. I think the latter two mods are just important as the knee joints in order to achieve the kneel pose.
