About The Kit »

For my second peice in the Forum Group Build: AoZ Unlimited, I decided to do another Hazel, but this time add a twist. The
twist was combining the Hazel with the Zeon Alive Stutzer units. I’m very pleased with the end result as it adds a lot to the Hazel and still managed to look as if it fits into the AoZ continuity.

The kit started off as a Master Grade Quel and a test cast Hazel head from Models4U. I made many modifications to the kit in addition to the removable Stutzer unit. I’ll lest them below:

Quel to Hazel Modifications

• Scratch-build shoulder boxes/grenade launchers
• Modified chest vents to be closed type and to protrude outward
• Modified GM beam rifle to look more like Hazel beam rifle, yet still be a unique piece. E-Pacs from MG Gp01 were used
• Scratch-build clip covers for clips mounted on right forearm. E-Pacs from MG Gp01 were used
• Detailed recesses with stretched sprue which was painted red
• Added resin Hazel head
• Modified shield mount so that it mounted to side of arm instead of back
• Detailed thruster bells and other parts with 1mm silver crimping beads
• Scratch-build center of chest to be the Hazel chest
• Scratch-build pilot hatch to be larger
• Added bar to center bottom of
  backpack to match Stutzer unit

Stutzer Unit:

• Scratch-build main arms and center structure from styrene shapes and sheets
• Used Gp01 Beam Rifle on right arm
• Used shell cartridges from M-10 Tank for grenade/rocket launchers on left arm
• Used drill-lathed sprue for yellow bars on arms and mount
• Rare earth magnets were used to attach Stutzer unit to chest
• Details added with Wave and Kotobukiya option parts

For the color of the Hazel I wanted to leave out the white highlights and use darker blues to produce a more sinister look. I think
I achieved that feel. The yellow-orange help to make the suit pop in places and keep the Titans Test Team look. The decals were the TTT sheet from Models4U.
