A bit more of my in progress. finished up a good bit of black for the two color parts. Also some touch up on chrome, just have the last few black paintings. Then final assembly, and this time I won’t miss a joint like I have already done with one leg. So off to dreamland, and rested eyes to make my last push to the end. Good luck with the […] View
Update on the PG Zaku II; I’ve finished the legs and they look simply astounding (and as tall as my MG RX-78-2 3.0). I’m really excited to finish the torso now and see it all put together.
I would suggest replacing any stickers you used with paint. Is this the first model you’ve built, or jsut your first gundam kit? If you’ve never done actual customizing out side of just paint, I would suggest easing into it by starting with things like the back packs from the Gundam build fighters. Buying some cheaper kits, and “kitbashing” them…[Read more]
You could switch the weapon with other sets or buy it from the Gundam Build Fighters series. Secondly , add some battle damage and weathering stuff by using he gundam weathering marker. Also for battle damage there are some easy to follow tutorials on youtube or other website.
that’s all from me but if there are more I could give u more tips.
I’m currently working on a custom build using 1/144 HG kits. I”m using a Gundam X Maoh, mainly just for the spare V-Fin atm, 2 Wing Gundam Fenice, a Wing Gundam, a Meteor…
I like seeing the visual change, but its just so monotonous. I’m actually going to have to sf some glee down for the shiny parts since the destiny has a lot of short stickers that done properly grip corners
Just finished the ZOCK!!!! I add it some extra panel lines and I drilled little holes on the edges it makes it look more mechanical… Well here are some pics let me know if…
@wldeyoung here you go. From left to right: PG, MG 2.0, original HGUC, RG.
Unfortunately I don’t have the production type RG but a Char’s version well have to do.
Stylistically the PG and HGUC are the most similar where as the MG head becomes a bit wider and smoother while the RG becomes taller and more panel-lined
Welp, I’m never going to complain about MG Zaku II 2.0 piping again as long as I don’t have to slide them onto a spring with nothing but a screw keeping them from falling off.
Anyway I’m done with the head/neck section of the PG Zaku and I really like the result so far.
Loving the detail on the inner frame as well.
Update on my MG Epyon build. I had to put the kit off to the side for a little due to other painting obligations. bad lighting so its hard to see the panel lines on the inside of the foot/mouth, but i don’t plan on displaying it in flight mode so whatever. Working on the legs as i type this, maybe more of an update later on this evening.
To be honest I have not built a modern MG in my life yet. The only MGs I have built are the GM Custom from 99, the GM Ground type from 01, and the GP-01 from 97. This Zaku is from 02 but comparing it to the HGUC one the HGUC one comes with a standard Zaku machine gun but no Zaku bazooka and the MG comes with the Zaku Bazooka but not the standard…[Read more]
