ok folks i got a wacky idea that bounced into my head and ive been giving it some serious thought. I want to take the RG Zaku and bash it with the HG Gouf custom, http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN965503/Gun I don’t know if i would call it a bash per se. im just looking to make a highly detailed RG quality Gouf so i will be trying to mod the HG armor…[Read more]
Its a interesting project. You could call it a sneak peak into the RG that is yet to come. Legs should be a fairy simple job. From the looks you could leave the RG feet. Hands should be a little more tricky. The way the Gouf are made it hard for me to figure out how to make sliding armor effect.
I wish you luck with the project. Just remember…[Read more]
You may end up having to sacrifice sone of the sliding panels but it should be doable for the most part, especially if you’re planning to keep the same arms used on the HG.
good luck with the project. keep in mind that the torso of the zaku & the gouf custom is different. might have a hard time connecting the leg of the other to the hips & torso of the other since the RG has its own inner frame. keep us posted with your project. 🙂
There was a RG wing on display at comic con and it seemed tiny. Not just a little bit smaller but very tiny in comparison to the other RGs. Not going to stop me from getting it though since it looks amazing.
probably the worst panel line job I’ve done, and I should have used a darker color. need to fix the little gap on the chest. but still, RG Z’Gok is a pretty awesome kit.
nice! I love RG kits, and it’s pretty cool that they decided to throw something so different in the line. really fun build and like most RG’s it looks great right out of the box. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it
Hi guys. I am currently building the 1/144 RG Strike Freedom and I have come across a big problem. I am cutting the black and blue parts and the nippers are leaving stress…
make sure that your nipper is sharp. its hard to avoid stress marks if you are only using nippers to cut parts from runners and clean the excess sprue. use a hobby knife to cut away excess sprue to get best result. just watch out not to overcut it.
how was your build? i was also working on this kit last week. messed up the decals beam shields. just a heads up (if you haven’t done it yet) you are supposed to put the decals on the backside of the beam shield. 😀
what they said^ and you can also use a black Gundam Marker (used for panel lining) and just put some of that on the white stress mark, give it a few seconds to sink in, then while it off by rubbing with your thumb. Should get rid of the white ^^
