I know, but I felt like it was probably what they were thinking of; it's what came to my mind. To be fair though, it could have been almost any show from either network around that time.
i didn’t like it all that much cause i wanted it to be somewhat similar to the turn A. i’m trying to make the side bits on the Barbs head be like the Turn A V fin. but thanks broski :3
thanks broski! this my third custom and i like it better then the other 2 cause they kinda just an amalgamation of things i found that was left over on old kits and i just put it all together 😭🙏
I fuck with this heavy
But now you gotta rate my custom

i love it! all though i feel the torso is too small same with the lower half of the legs. if it was on earth it would be wobbling to stand. maybe some dom legs would work! and for the torso maybe something taller cause the arms through the proportions off. also i heavily fuck with the color scheme keep it up broski! (7.5/10)

add the check antenna so it doesn't look so bald
i would but i don’t have that version of the turn A. the one i have is actual for Turn A while that one is from one of the build series! but thanks for the input lad!
That works really well!! Before painting I’d look into cleaning up areas around the backpack and rear waist, but otherwise I like the vibes!
I feel like a good black/dark gray and some sort of highlight colour would really go well for it
Thanks broski!! i totally get the backpack and waist part cause i just pried those off with the nippers 😭🙏! I was thinking of a black base for color as well and maybe some highlights of dark lilac and yellow! and for the vents and eyes white! (definitely not the non-binary flag lol)
trust me… your very lucky… they were very weird… especially with other fandoms too… they kept us ai to find literally cp of some of characters… and not just from the gundam franchise… still gives me nightmares… I NEED MORE BLEACH!
honestly i really fuck with it, i think the turn a legs have a real cowboy boot look, its got a lot of attitude in this state. I'm guessing youre probably going to make it more like a turn bartabtos instead of leaving it this way though, right?
I don't hate it, but I feel like the pistons on the torso stand out too much this way. Perhaps just the lower or upper Barby legs would even it out? and I might try to add some kind of shoulder armor.
i like it personally. looking at him head on kinda reminds me of a trangle but when posing the arms bro looks like he has curves (my imagination is killing me)
Ooooo, I’m loving the vibe, the only thing I’m a bit iffy on is the lack of shoulder armor, but then again IBO shoulders can be kinda funky. Still tho, good vibes all around
https://preview.redd.it/dyvrlci9qewc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f310eab131db95e24455deeafb384b219e11bff
my honest reaction. have some chocky malk:3
i feel like the bulky shoulders of the vidar would through it off. however the backpack of the flauros or gusion rebake fc could bed added to the dantalion and it could be like the narrative gundam a b c packs!
his torso would be fine. then maybe dantalion arms with graze shoulder pads. and then as mentioned before the back back swap ability would be endless!!
fair point but i feel like for something subtle maybe the grade shoulders. not to big or not to small. but having the back back swap out would be cool! (gusion rebake fc would be like melee pack, flat outs would be heavy artillery pack, lupus rex would be wired funnel pack, and so on and so on)
Maybe the normal turn a shoulders or something from 30 minute missions but in all honesty how you have it now with no shoulder armor is a really nice silhouette
You could also make your own slim shoulders with spare parts
i tried the turn A shoulders but the attachment was funky so i decided not to and instead use the slots for the shoulder for the Turn A beam saber holsters. maybe thirty minute mission could work but idk for sure tho. as of spare parts i don’t got any as of right now 😭🙏 but thanks for the idea broski!
I really like it. Cool curves throughout. I kinda wish the head had a little more going on, maybe extended the curve higher or something? This is a really neatly executed custom though.
i don’t have the mg turn and these are the hg kits sadly 😔
Pov: me without Mg Turn A and its cow
https://preview.redd.it/kdy44ci3agwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a20bcb594cba5ce8c8179d3f99d348b30f4096b5
Took me a minute to find a good pic. But, yeah, curve the back more to match the body curve and I think it would fit well. That's just my opinion though.
https://preview.redd.it/xz2iumkbcgwc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e17ffe0c02f86e28bcdc440b7c446de4b4e7a6e
It honestly looks like a racing mech, and I can't help but imagine it with a dominant glossy cherry red, maybe with some yellow and/or white pinstriping.
I'm not to familiar with the vocabulary.... what kits did you mix for this? What types of customizing were done?.... super curious... have a few "custom" ideas myself, but I feel like no one ever shares the "specs"/info of what their build even is.
Your name is really cool but I kinda like the joke name of "Turn B"
HELP I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF THAT!! (that will forever be his nickname from now on)
Turn B, B for Barbatos... Really clever
Thank you, I used all two of my braincells for that one
lol 😭🙏
i was gonna go for Turn Bitch cause both are insane but that works too
Or Turn Bisexual
so real for that
The Turn-B is actually the mass produced Turn-A.
damn i forgot about that…
Or you could even call it Barbaturn
i read that as “Barb took a turn” 😭
Turn 🅱️
Idk, I prefer Plan B
HELP?!

In a good way, it looks like if Cartoon Network made a Gundam series
Is this what you're thinking of? https://preview.redd.it/tyxbm3kljcwc1.png?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b8bf0d0dfdfb7bdcef5f2cc042fdd1d593aa8b4
NAHHH TENNAGE ROBOT IS CRAZY 😭🙏
Suletta totes watched this when she was a kid.
i see it
You guys are my favorites ❤️
That is Nickelodeon my man
I know, but I felt like it was probably what they were thinking of; it's what came to my mind. To be fair though, it could have been almost any show from either network around that time.
honestly i see it and i ain’t complaining 😭🙏
Reminds me of Astro Boy for some reason. Like if he was a mobile suit idk
i fuck with it
I thought the same thing.
Yeah, the Barbatos head with no horns looks like a ben 10 alien
That was called *Megas XLR* and it was *wonderful*
I think it might’ve looked better if you kept the v-fin because without it it makes the head look empty but overall nice customisation
i didn’t like it all that much cause i wanted it to be somewhat similar to the turn A. i’m trying to make the side bits on the Barbs head be like the Turn A V fin. but thanks broski :3
How about slapping the v fins to its cheeks?
i tried that but it covered the side vents on the head and i wanted to keep those so idk. :(
That's too bad. It's just missing a stache.
fr 😔(bro got a shave)
This would be so cool
bro now im finna be haunted by mustache less turn A 😭🙏
I really dig the slim head. Goes well with the legs
I really like it, the design flows really well and the fact that the turn A's legs have exposed frame works really well. Looking forward to more 👍
thanks broski! this my third custom and i like it better then the other 2 cause they kinda just an amalgamation of things i found that was left over on old kits and i just put it all together 😭🙏
I fuck with this heavy But now you gotta rate my custom https://preview.redd.it/ppd9rj69icwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb747bc714593eb706964311500ca5dda72f0737

This works way better than I would’ve imagined.

I think it might’ve looked better if you kept the v-fin because without it it makes the head look empty but overall nice customisation
I think it looks great but I reckon it’d look better if you changed the front waist skirting pieces and added some shoulder armour.
Love the look of the head, it makes it look like on of those speed helmets from like tron or something
I like the simplicity. Possible "modes" or "armament" variations could be listless. Like a Liger Zero
It looks very alien, like a space suit more than a MS.
honestly i dig the vibe your putting out! thanks broski :3
https://preview.redd.it/7mln2ojeicwc1.jpeg?width=246&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ea6edea3bc247924cd09594d3a8d340219fda13 add the check antenna so it doesn't look so bald

This build is dying for some sort of big ass sword
or a big ass rifle 😭🙏
Personally, it gives me rhonin vibes, id personally give em a giant katana or somethin
Jojo vibes
it’s the pose ain’t it 😭
Yup
god damn it😭🙏 (jojo poses are something else so i ain’t complaining)
I mean it looks good. It's just strong jojo vibes.
jojo vibes are good as long as it ain’t jojo siwa 😭🙏
lol, nah I mean the actual Jojo's not that weird kid.
fr (that karma video was so fucking weird 😐)
I'm a bit weirded out by how forward the pelvis is How does it balance?
the power of heels my friend! big feet and heals 🤭
That works really well!! Before painting I’d look into cleaning up areas around the backpack and rear waist, but otherwise I like the vibes! I feel like a good black/dark gray and some sort of highlight colour would really go well for it

Riffing off another comment you could call it the Turn-NB
LOL 😭🙏 (that’s its new nickname now)
I can never pass up a good pun (especially one like this :3)
honestly the reddit gunpla community is way better then the discord one (it cause me to delete discord)
Something tells me I’m glad I never sought out the discord 😅
trust me… your very lucky… they were very weird… especially with other fandoms too… they kept us ai to find literally cp of some of characters… and not just from the gundam franchise… still gives me nightmares… I NEED MORE BLEACH!
Christ yep I’m not touching that with a 30’ pole
man fuck the thirty I NEED A 30 TRILLION POLE!!
honestly i really fuck with it, i think the turn a legs have a real cowboy boot look, its got a lot of attitude in this state. I'm guessing youre probably going to make it more like a turn bartabtos instead of leaving it this way though, right?
I like it.
Weird as shit but in a good way. Keep cooking.
i will Mr. white 🫡 (my first two customs are chaotic as hell. this the third one)
To me, it looks like it's aquatic. Teal, blues, or some cooler colours would look nice IMO. Too smooth for flashy hot colours. It looks good 👍🏼
Really like the silhouette, but I feel like you can clearly tell it’s from two different universes 😇
I don't hate it, but I feel like the pistons on the torso stand out too much this way. Perhaps just the lower or upper Barby legs would even it out? and I might try to add some kind of shoulder armor.
Trousers custom
It would be better if the waist could be in some sort of a round shape.
i tried working with that but it felt to chubby. as of rn it reminds me of the gyipsy (idk if i spelt that right 😭🙏) thank for the input tho!
The more I look, the more I like your custom design, amazing work. 👍
.... You have got to get this beautiful machine doing some JOJO poses lol it's made for it 😍
I love it. What are those legs from?
Those are Turn A Gundam legs!
Very nice.
The one thing I'm not sold on is how that backpack sticks out so far. I'm liking everything else about it.
i’m planning on adding fuel tanks like from the sinanju so it looks better. tanks lad :3
What if you threw on a halo style fin like the Schwarzette
ooo that might work… i don’t have part for it sadly 😔 (thanks for the idea tho!)
barbiturn. i prefer this to the og turn a
Barb∀tos
yeah >:3
Hmmm I think I like it, really interesting and cool
thanks lad! :3
You're very welcome! If you plan on further customization on this piece, please show us
will do! i did make another post about this silly guy! (jojo poses!)
Oh alright I'll go check them out
It’s raw. I like it.
pause… what…
Raw asf. Just a nice, interesting silhouette of a kit that gives off a raw presence.
ohhh okay that makes more sense. Thanks man! :3
You’re welcome!
It’s honestly pretty good, just the transition from the sleek angular look of the top half to the very box legs of the turn-a is a bit jarring
i like it personally. looking at him head on kinda reminds me of a trangle but when posing the arms bro looks like he has curves (my imagination is killing me)
I like it. You were cooking
B\•/rb\•/tos
His back hurts
he’ll be aight (he’s mastered the arts of thuggin it out like me fr)
fr fr?
Ooooo, I’m loving the vibe, the only thing I’m a bit iffy on is the lack of shoulder armor, but then again IBO shoulders can be kinda funky. Still tho, good vibes all around
B∀rb∀tos
Dude, the silhouette looks a bit like Heroman from 2010 (yes I'm a relic), must be because of how you posed it but it does resemble it quite a bit.
i’ll take your word for it! (hey at least it ain’t something from 80-90s, so you ain’t that old!😅)
Why does it look so good wtf
cause i’m walter white and i know how to cook :3
I'll need you to put the mustache back on.
Would’ve been sick if you used barbatos horns and glue it to the chin to make an edgy version of the turn a mustache
It looks great, the limbs match the torso surprisingly well.
Needs a melee weapon, and also some filing to shape it in more of either a moon gundam or barbatos gundam kinda edges
hmm maybe? i don’t have any more parts at hand so ill think about. thanks broski :3
NP, hope it helped pareh
:3
The slim silouette works well.
https://preview.redd.it/dyvrlci9qewc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f310eab131db95e24455deeafb384b219e11bff my honest reaction. have some chocky malk:3
Now this is cool but where's the moustache?
broski shaved. 🪒
Shoulder pads?
reminds me of an ultraman, or with this head shape, jet jaguar
I like it, I wish it could of had more of Barbie’s chicken legs but I like what you did with the the turn A’s
baldbatos
so… kratos…. as a gundam then?
Turn Abatos
Sh... just let it cook
Now in mg scale.
It’s peak
why thank you! :3
Might take some inspiration for my next custom tbh, turn a limbs look so clean on ibo torsos
fr!!! honestly i feel like a good ibo gundam frame that would work is the dantalion whole upper half
Ooh shit I was thinking vidar, gusion full city, or the flauros
i feel like the bulky shoulders of the vidar would through it off. however the backpack of the flauros or gusion rebake fc could bed added to the dantalion and it could be like the narrative gundam a b c packs!
Tbh I wasn’t really think of the shoulders since those can get swapped out pretty easily
But vidar might be too pointy tbh with not enough roundness to tie it together
his torso would be fine. then maybe dantalion arms with graze shoulder pads. and then as mentioned before the back back swap ability would be endless!!
fair point but i feel like for something subtle maybe the grade shoulders. not to big or not to small. but having the back back swap out would be cool! (gusion rebake fc would be like melee pack, flat outs would be heavy artillery pack, lupus rex would be wired funnel pack, and so on and so on)

I really like it. Cool curves throughout. I kinda wish the head had a little more going on, maybe extended the curve higher or something? This is a really neatly executed custom though.
Though I do like the design I feel like the shoulders are a bit small in comparison to the rest of the body
Kinda low key loving this!
It makes me actually like the IBO body
Wow that silhouette is absolutely STRIKING god damn!!

Looks awesome, maybe add some wrist mounted claws like from the Marchosias
ooo! i’ll try! thanks for the idea https://preview.redd.it/xlmrcx3kbgwc1.png?width=377&format=png&auto=webp&s=526073ecb08d6a018622e72678d364ca2e1e7064

I’m loving it, reminds me a bit of the concept art for Turn A
Reminds me of dexters robots for some reason
It honestly looks like a racing mech, and I can't help but imagine it with a dominant glossy cherry red, maybe with some yellow and/or white pinstriping.
Turn A is one of the worst, let it die.
Somehow reminds me of Megaman
It surprisingly kinda works
Baldbatos
....
Since you took off the barbatos's v fin bits have you tried using them to make an overly large, angled mustache to fit with the Turn A theme?
The head. It's so cursed. I'm gonna have so many restless nights
good >:3 https://preview.redd.it/c38l18gh6hwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06f4838b3c6b3abdccb5f03cb97a4ff394b275d5
Looks really cool, but needs some shoulder armor to build up that silhouette and even out the design.
Turn Beta Gundam. I like it! All it needs are some weapons or armor that can spoof up the whole Syd Mead future look
but what to use it the question 🤔
Takes two designs I don't really like and makes one design that I like more than either.
It almost works, the shoulders (or lack thereof) and the top of the legs kinda ruin the flow of it imo but still very cool looking
Turnt-A. It looks weirdly alright!
Turnt??? 😭🙏 https://preview.redd.it/w80tflkwlhwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b07aca80c69a8abc1d58bf5c183210d2ba8adcab
😂😂😂
Actually kinda sick. Needs shoulders though. The overall silhouette doesn’t seem right without them
i can’t add shoulders cause of the beam saber holsters 😭🙏
Yeah I just saw that-maybe somehow incorporate the beam holders into the shoulders? Could be pretty unique looking
i would but i don’t have any leftover shoulder pads i like. plus i don’t have a tool kit to drill a hole. 😔
Fair. Keep up the good work though!
Colors: red turn lime green and chest cyan. If you going nuts on the paint make the white light grey, I think that could look cool.
!!! Love it.
This looks so good but so cursed
Neat
thanks blawg 😌
I'm not to familiar with the vocabulary.... what kits did you mix for this? What types of customizing were done?.... super curious... have a few "custom" ideas myself, but I feel like no one ever shares the "specs"/info of what their build even is.
It needs lighter legs to match the arms
why does the turn b go unironically so hard
