thank you. I try to stay away from the 1/144 scale because they are so small and hard for me to get a lot of detail in. but a have few that are only available in 1/144
MG Zaku 2 F2 Progress. Just finished this guy and overall very happy with how he came out. The photos don’t do him justice and I changed up the pose but still not sure if I…
Really nice but wow, the proportions are really different on the HGUC vs the MG. Like how on the HGUC the shoulder just looks huge and the head so squished. They both look great but they’re so different for the same design…
Yeah the MG is from 2002 and the HGUC is from 2010 so there is a pretty large time gap between them. I personally like the HGUC version a lot more. Don’t get me wrong I love the MG as well but if I had to choose one over the other id still stick with the HGUC version but like I said these photos don’t give the MG justice it looks so much better in person.
A little. the first time I painted the piping, the paint flaked off. I cleaned off all the paint, wiped the piping down with plastic cleaner. then I sprayed Dupont’s Plas-Stick adhesion promoter on the piping then sprayed Alclad’s pale gold. no problems after that.
Thanks for commenting. I think I’ll just spray this wallet destroyer with a flat or semi-coat.
How’s yours? I saw your WIP pic below just now. Are you going for a military color scheme? This guy surely got the look and build for it. Really looking forward to the finished product (and the WIP pics too)!!
P.S.
Now I wonder if someone has tried…[Read more]
not really military scheme. greens and dark purple. hoping it turns out alright. i’ll be posting an update in a day or two on my progress. yeah wallet destroyer is a very good description. i got the nu ver ka on the way so i’ll be making a nice fighting scene once im done
Old HG kit Kapool. Rather old cheap kit that is right to test some techniques.
The goal of this build would be to experimenting with adding texture to the kit – some rust…
Expect little to non possibilities of posing. The model cannot even do the pose from the cover since the there is no rotation in the wrist joint.
Still overall it looks super cool – a freaking ball with small legs :P. It needs a HGUC (or HGCC) release.
MG Zaku 2 F2 progress. Almost there just need to finish the head. Not to sure about the pose yet? Very happy with how the HGUC zaku 2 F2 is posed but not sure if it works so well with the MG. It may just be that the bazooka looks awkward or I just need to spice it up a bit but ill work with it some more once the head is done!
looks great so far, I see what you mean that just because a kit is old it doesn’t mean it’s not very good, I’ll have to get some older MGs myself soon :D.
I think a pose where they’re holding the bazooka under the arm pointing forward may look nice.
Thanks yeah the manual and the box have some nice ideas on how to pose him or I may pop in the good old 0083 dads to get some ideas. Ill make sure the final images get posted so you all can see what I decided to do.
Sazabi Ver.Ka build is coming along VERY slowly for several reasons. Im hand brushing the whole kit and im thinning the paint a lot so its taking a few layers for good…
Progress on my gun cannon I built the arms and here are the legs I did some panel lining on the frame you guys let me know if it looks ok like that!!!! Happy building everyone! 🙂
MG Zaku 2 F2 Progress. Finished the side skirts all the tubbing and the back pack today. Going to have to do some touch ups here and there but very happy overall with the look so far 🙂
