While he shows great promise in matters of building and maintaining 'Mechs, he's still learning the ins and outs of 'Mech engineering in the 'present day' (late 2014), and he's only just started building Heavyarms at this time (maybe limited to doodling up the cockpit design for now?). He also tends to wear a blue t-shirt with the Earth Federation uniform graphic printed on it. Also, his Heavyarms project is imitating the TV version. Really, the only reason he chose not to copy the OVA version of Heavyarms is because it would be defenseless when the ammo runs out. However, he doesn't expect to have a finished product until 2020 or later.
Nice...
Can you think of something to add to this character that distinguishes him from other Gearheads? His interest in "more shooty" and Gundams is good, but I'd tend to look for a 'spark' of some sort, to make him stand out.
He's cut himself off from relatives, and presumably previous friends, so no 'hooks' there, but does he always wear Gundam-themed clothes, like a baseball cap, or t-shirt, or something?
How good a mechanical or electrical engineer is he, or does he just 'wing' this? Has he any skill as a gunsmith? Heavy engineering? Power systems? Is he good at mech RPGs?
Just a few thoughts...
As for something else, perhaps he'll eventually get a cybernetic implant that will let him pull of amazing acrobatic feats in Heavyarms (like Trowa did in the show on occasion)?
