I’ve built the mass production and this is one hell of a kit. The only complaints I’ve had are the shoulders can pop out if you’re not careful and (for me at least) it’s really hard to find batteries for the mono eye.
Happy building, hope you enjoy this beast.
I’ve built the “PG MS-06F Zaku II 30th Anniversary Extra Finish Version”. It was lot of fun but, as Nick said, shoulder mounting is really loose… arms can pop out when you try to pose the model.
Also, the lighting circuit is … well… ridicoulous. It needs a miracle to works, better modify it with normal wiring.
Yes i know what you mean about the wiring for the mono eye , had me swearing for quite some time trying to get the wires screwed in with the small metal connectors without it all falling out as soon as you get the screw driver near them! I think the batteries i have arent think enough to make the connections when its all put together so i will…[Read more]
Started my A.R.K cloud breaker 01, building the hands first. My first time hand painting.. Pretty nervous about messing up the kit. These hands are molded in gray so had to…

thanks man, I don’t like the orange accents, so I decided to change them for a blue/gray color you see there, I did a major mistake on the canopy, the fit was poor, and the canopy didnt stayed therre with the clear glue I ususualy use, so I applyed super glue, too much of it, and it leaked beneath the canopy.. I was tenpted to re do the model,…[Read more]
i didn’t even see that until i read your post, now im even more excited to see how this build unfolds 🙂 The picture looks more blue than it really is so i’ll have to get a pic with some better lighting. Ive decided against doing the yellow parts in gold and instead decided on silver to match the inner frame parts and the detailing i’ll be doing.…[Read more]
very unusual and has been causing a fair amount of questioning if it will look good upon completion. I’m hopeful that im not trashing a very nice kit with a bad paint scheme choice, but seeing posts like this are a nice reaffirmation. Thnx and i’ll be sure to post some updates soon.
MGS Rex – I’m not building it quite yet, but hope to start soon. I’ve had it in my stash for a bit and I’m itching to go. Thought it might be fun to get a group build going if anyone else is interested. A new version of the kit is coming out in June as well!
Wings done and this kit looks pretty good. Its the first kit ive done in almost 10 years so its been a great learning experience, plus its the first kit ive done decals on. Just have to fight through this “weapons block” that im experiencing and this one will be ready for display.
How long have you been working on this now? This kind of awesome result makes me tempted to try get better at hand painting so I can give a full repaint a go.
I started this kit back in Feb and finished last night. Total time on the kit (yes i timed it) was roughly 85 hrs. That is not including paint dry time since i stop the clock when i put my brush down. The water slides alone were about 9 hrs worth of work. Lots of time in this kit but i think it was worth it.
When it comes to hand painting the…[Read more]
