Minato has great skill in building [[gunpla]], as the [[MSN-001M Mega-Shiki|Mega Shiki]] he built for [[Shunsuke Sudou]] has been shown to be at par with [[Yuuma Kousaka]]'s [[LGZ-91 Lightning Gundam]]. He is also capable of building a gunpla from scratch within a few minutes. His skill is better showcased by the Tryon 3. He built a suit according to his personal aesthetic taste without sacrificing power. In keeping with his love if Super Robot shows, the Tryon 3 has a complex transformation and combination sequence, yet it is still very durable. It also combined the already impressive firepower of its constituent mecha, defying the initially common belief that it was a "paper tiger". These traits show that Minato is an incredibly skilled builder, preventing the inherent weakness of his design through simple building prowess. His entry for the Meijin Cup an MS Girl that could also function as a combat ready gunpla, showcasing incredible skill even recognized by Meijin Kawaguchi III as amazing. He lost only because he failed to obtain his subject's permission to use her likeness, greatly embarrassing her.
