[paperabata] SD GAT-X103 Buster Gundam

 

Gundam SEED - Cosmic Era (CE)

-----------------------------------------

Today we have another GAT-X103 Buster Gundam papercraft, an SD version also modeled by paperabata. The Buster was piloted by Dearka Elsman, the blonde ZAFT pilot of the Le Creuset's team. Together with the rest of the team the Buster pursue the Archangel to Earth and engage in several battles with them. Interestingly enough the Buster is the only one out of the four stolen Gundams that never fought the Strike in one-on-one combat. The Buster survived the battle at the outskirts of Orb and was captured instead.

Being a hater of the Naturals, Dearka has a change of heart once he was boarded the Archangel as a prisoner. Part of it is because of Miriallia Haw, and also due to his growing conscience of the reality of war. By the end of SEED, he joined Kira and Athrun to stop the war by attacking both Earth Alliance and ZAFT forces. It was like attempting to mediate a fight between two guys by punching them both in their faces. Except in this case they are facing the mobile suits, battleships, and superweapon of two factions. As Dearka said, this idea is insane! Luckily they have Lord Kira on their side and they successfully ended the war. 

The papercraft template only comes with 12 pages but unfortunately does not include the instruction manual. Click below to download.
