Inspired by Gaijin Gunpla's simply superb yellow sinaju I have expanded my modelling horizons to gunpla kits as well. To that extent, I have set up this blog, "Mobile Suits of Zeon". It is named so blandly partly because of my lack of creativity and that I know I will be making almost 100% Zeon kits. By documenting my modelling process as well as the end result I hope to provide myself with a detailed log to look back at, and hopefully some entertainment and even a few tips for you, the readers.
For my first kit, I've decided to build a Zaku II "Kai" as seen in Gundam 0080. Something about the futuristic styling of it simply appeals to me. So without further adieu my first kit:
As you can see, I've already made a lot of progress:
For a 2000ish kit, it is very solid. All of the joints are very robust and flexible. The hands in particular are well made; the model doesn't suffer from "limp wrist". However, there are only three hands for the model, each of which is not ambidextrous.
That's all for now though, I'll talk about the progress I've made so far in future post.

I am more than honored to be mentioned in other modeller's blogs and am rather awestruck that something I created can inspire others. Iwill be watching closely. Can't go wrong with Zeon suits!
ReplyDeleteGood sir! There is a bit of gunpla to be had in Phoenix, Arizona. I thought I was the only gundam modeler in town. Turns out we're not alone. Shoot me an e-mail sometime and I'll tell you where I've found gundam stuff.
