    For a minute I was like -well that’s poor engeneering or construction- bc why would u leave such things (cables) exposed, specially being a suit with so much armor but then again maybe it’s a strategy to lure enemies and then, Baaaam! I was just really curious bc I didn’t know what color to paint them.

    • not gunna lie lukenotskywalker its better to not criticize the way they desgined it lol its a gundam sorry to say this to all my gundam people but gundams arent real lol theyred sifi anything can hapen

      • well there’s a bit more to it actually, the Zaku is supposed to be a cheap mass produced unit, so something like exposed cables helps keep this idea but they’re not all that vulnerable they’re kept rather close to the body so really if you’re close enough to hit them you’re close enough to finish the job too. also it looked cool and that’s why…[Read more]

  • Does anyone know the specific functionality of each part of a gundam ? I’m building a MG geara doga and I really wish to know the purpose or functionality of the Yellow pipes that go around the waist and in between the hydraulics of the legs and arms. Like what’s suppose to be in them? Im assuming not cables or liquid cuz if they get damaged in…[Read more]

    • well everything on a machine is of some importance unless it’s completely cosmetic so it’s kinda like saying “if the head gets chopped off then what?” anyways those are power cables. and if they get cut then whatever they’re powering either shuts down or has lowered responsiveness if there’s an alternate power feed aswell.

    • Thank u for remind me that it’s all sci-fi, I was about to go insane. But even sci-fi has some kind of explanation of “Why of things”. But anyways thanks Steve for the info and no that wasn’t sarcastic. Exia had external cables???

      • yeah you can see them from the shoulder armor to the side of the upper arms. it’s only in the first season Exia has them, they’re seen on the shoulders, after that the tech evolved and it wasn’t needed anymore so repair II and onward don’t have it. and unlike the Zaku it’s not armored. also on the exia repair, they’re missing because 1 arm is…[Read more]

    • The vast majority of the technology in UC timeline of Gundam is based on real world tech and principles. The space colonies are actually Modeled after the O’Neill Island 3 concept that was purposed back in the early 70’s(but thanks to the cold war, was shot down. Also, do some research into Gerard K. O’Neill. He’s a brilliant scientist who’s…[Read more]

      • Very nice thank u so much. I’m off to paint them bronze or gold but maybe bronze since I might paint the thrusters gold I did so for the ones of the bottom of the feet (or whatever the actual term is)

    Are u airbrushing. There’s a paint for airbrush called aclad. You do a coat of black gloss then gold chrome look it up. I bought the paint but haven’t try yet. They r a bit expensive though

    Well ur best best would be cutting closer to the runner then sand down to the actual part. It has worked for me.

  • I think I will get the lights but later down the road, that way I can enjoy my model without the lights and then later on get excited all over again just wondering how awesome is going to look with lights. Great […]
