Yeah, it's a good way to exercise dexterity and patience among other things. I've got most waves of MD but not all and excluding some variants, a few FA;Gs, a Chitocerium (the twins and cats are on their way to me rn), Dragondress Sophia, muscuto parts, and I'm looking forward to the reprint of Gene and upcoming Tamamo
Lol, it's a decapitated Zaku II with its legs cut off. Look, it even has the shoulder-mounted shield and heat hawk.
This looks really cool! You did a good job on him there. When you feel like, post the destroy mode too. I'd be interested to see what that looks like with this kitbash.
I transformed him, here is some proof
The translucent plastic coupled with the gunmetal color of the inner mechanics reminds me of Aliens for some reason. Makes a classic design look creepy, which I really like. You did great finding such a rare kit and building it up.
Wow look at that! Looks less like a Gundam and more like a mech you'd find from a setting like Aeon Flux or Shin Megami Tensei, if either of those has mechs. That Seraphim style design to the how the wings were put on is something else. Also really cool thing with the magnets. Never thought of that.
Exactly! Some kind of half-mechanical halo or just a translucent yellow circlet above the head would fit perfectly.
You nailed it with this one, man. Looks like the two Gundams got half destroyed so they combined their remaining parts to make the ultimate Unicorn/Banshee mecha. Would've made for a more interesting story than Narrative. Nicely done! I'm in the middle of coloring a Shadow Tiger I got for relatively cheap recently and I'll post what I have once I'm done.I have a few on my short list to get. Hope your builds go good
How much do you have to paint?
The kit itself is more like dark red and black, If anything I got to figure out how to get that blackish gray and pink color it mainly is.
Don't sell yourself short friend, it will still be good, when I was in raster based art class, my instructor told me to make simple designs instead of complex simply because I can't do complex all that well (I'd show but the hhd that had those images is dead), so don't sell short, even the most simplest things can be impressive!
Thanks! This thing was a blast to assemble (though a bit hard on the fingers). Not as complex as a RG, but still many more tiny parts and details than your typical HG. The joints are pretty stiff so it stands up and holds poses really well, and the
I don’t think that Zaku needs to be painted, it looks like it has pretty good color separation out of the box.
I think this is the one I built a long time ago! Love it!
Oh shit that looks good!
That's my problem exactly, too. I'm just putting a bunch of bubble wrap around them and keeping them in as few boxes inside of boxes as possible.
