Sadly, for now, my Z’Gok project is going back into the box. I’ve lost major interest in doing it, and I would rather not force myself to finish it. But where this goes on hold, a new entry will be taking shape (hopefully) soon. I’m going to the shop where I usually get my gunpla in hopes to find what I am searching for. I won’t give […] View
Well, bear in mind that LEDs do have voltage limitations. Most of the time, they can vary from 1.5 to 2.2 volts. Some batteries can go as little from 1.5 to 6 volts. You NEVER want to attach a 9v for low voltage because the thing will pop. I’m no real expert (I’ve dabbled with electronic assembly) but there are some resources out there for…[Read more]
Did one of several mods to my HG Z’Gok last night. Basically all I did was drill a hole into the piece that the monoeye would be at (well, maybe drill is not the right word) with my hobby knife, making it just big enough to fit a piece of pink runner into it. I will be getting a clear LED, as well as a watch battery holder for it. In the mean…[Read more]

No pictures of what I have done so far, mostly just separating the parts into their collective right, i.e. right arm, left arm, etc. But I have started modifying the claws on this guy to be more streamlined and have a sharper appearance. I do have a couple ideas for color schemes, as well as only doing one LED and that would be for the monoeye.…[Read more]
And here is my official photo entry. HG Z’Gok Char’s custom. It will undergo a custom paint job, some battle damage, and for the time being, a LED to replace the pink monoeye sticker.
After talking with a local shop owner that carries gunpla, I claimed a HG Z’Gok that I will enter into this contest. I do have some plans for it, all of which will become apparent in time. Once I have it in my possession, I will post a picture of it.
I’m still debating what I’ll enter, but I do have a few choices to go with. As far as what I’ll do, it can vary from a simple recoloring to doing modding like LEDs and some scratch building. Seeing as I’m comfortable with painting with brushes and popping in a few LEDs, I may push myself to go deeper into scratch building some…[Read more]
