mmh…

One of few exceptions between my zeon army

Ok this way i’ll try to do no modding on this (only if indispensable) [8o|]

The mech come from 0083 oav .

The kit is pretty nice and have a great posability.

Unfortunately the parts division don’t aid the painting for movable parts, so the only mods needes is focused on this.

Here the snapped and dusted kit (brought 2 or 3 years ago)

I semoved ll pins and blocks to allow a separate painting of differents pieces

the same elbow joint need some adjust, no pcb parts inside, the movement is done by the black abs plastic that rubs with other abs piece. i’ll try to resolve this putting a little washes betwueen the pieces, this weekend…

At the next [blkeye]

Thanx Ron

Little update, advantage of Italy 150 unifycation years celebrations… [^]

starting knee separation:

various pins prevent a good manipulation for painting, i’ll build a pit to make pins unnecessary

placing various piece of plastic (tamiya glue used, CA glue will make a too rigid structure that can be break by legs movement)

thanx dj898 but:

1. In this kit , the elbow parts includes the joint for the shield, that provide to work good as pin for the whole rotation joint. [:)]

2. I had forgotten the c-joint modification … [:'(]

i can try it with the elbow middle parts.

[smeagol_the_vile]

Man, I really wana build a gundam kit but I dont wana deal with white, cable rings, or yellow… and that sort of cuts off most of them ugh

[bsyamato]

[:D] smeagol , this gm it’s not perfect white, fortunately is light light light gray.

for cuts, it’s just my mania, you can build and paint thr powered gm whitout these cuts, theres lots of masking solutions .
