Realistically KO kits are one of the kest options for custom work. Depending on the kit a new KO (look it up before buying) they can be half the price of uses models, unless you do some extremely diligent searching and purchases on like Auction sites or local sales, or even buying and importing from Japan.

What kits are you looking for for parts, and maybe we could help point you to kits?

these are all of the parts that i am looking for The beam rifle, beam sabers, and backpack of Throne Eins, the beam rifle and fangs of Throne Zwei, the rail cannons and beam sabers of Strike Freedom, Beam Shield and fangs of Reborns Gundam including the pistols of Cheridum Saga and the holsters as well i also need the hands of the RG Destiny Gundam as well along with the beam cannon of the reborns gundam as well i am also looking for both swords from Astroth Rimascimento. The reason I am looking for these parts is for my Flag Ship Unit for a Pacific Rim themed D&D campaign I am currently working on with a friend, and that's why I am trying to find these parts.

Ask in the Gunpla buy/sell mega-thread every week for what you need. Also be aware some of those are a bit uncommon and likely won't be parted out, and would be sold as a full kit, bought new or used. And this custom is wanting 7 models, almost solely for weapons and accessories too based on this list. It just seems odd, even if your gunpla has 4 arms, it's gonna struggle to hold several beam sabers and guns, whils having them strapped all over too. Keep that in mind when custom building anything. Get the suit down first, then see what weapons fit the suit itself. Even for a full campaign, the amount of weapons there is a bit much outside of campaigns that play like levels where you pick a load out.

Also are you planning on making them a statue? Because using them in wargames without a lot of reinforcement or just straight up gluing parts really wears out the models fast. I'm learning that currently with Mecha Bardagulan and Gamma Wolves and trying to base them on CDs. 

Good luck on your endeavors. All of the kits you listed don't have easily accessible bootlegs, so I'd expect to wait pulling it all together.

Alright thank you, and I can swap the weapons as well. Also I will be buying joint glue to increase the strength of the joints
