Ofcourse! Learning to spot modifications is great for improving your own skills!
The shield and claw thingies are completely scratchbuilt:

Did some proportion modifications which you can see here:

Note the thighs and the torso
Tried some salt weathering and preshading:

The salt weathering wasn't very prominent and basicaly got hidden by the pastels...
Typing this out made me realise I probably gave myself too many kitbash points since it doesn't have any parts from other kits
If you where asking what I've done in general to learn all of this:
Spend hours looking at work-in-progress threads of really well made kits
Example
Prepare to get your brains blown out
Also read tonnes of tutorials on weathering and painting from all over, I can try and compile a list if you guys want and when I have some time. And if you want to get into scratchbuilding, get yourself some vernier calipers
Other than that, practice is key, this is my 5th custom and my 9th painted kit. [First custom] (http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z238/Demonslayer_ToT/100_2392.jpg), first painted kit. There's about three years between those first kits and the Tieren.

I just ordered $50 worth of parts (and a 1/144 aile strike to help fill out an aile strike army (is there an SD aile strike?)) through HobbySearch :D Vernier Nozzles, duct Nozzles, knee/elbow joints, small rivets, ball joints, "minus molds" circle vent type things, spikes! and most importantly, my funnels! When my birthday money from my mom comes in, i'll be ordering my first air brush - http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00BF0MW9G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A9M8PF7TMJFVZ - provided it doesn't sell out before then. (no one go there and buy them all out... growls and scowls) just need to find a tallgeese that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and wait for my FG Zaku II so i can start on Leo 2.0 and Zaku NT-D
Yeah, a thread on /r/Gunpla a couple weeks ago said that this airbrush is a really great one to start with.
Omg this design is amazing I need dis!
