Ever the obvious...

Looking good! I've started to develop an interest in HG's, and this kit has made my list of future buys. Looking forward to more progress! |

 I was more or less just playing around with it when I figured that one out
Its an epic kit, the 130mm anti ship rifle and the radiator fins everywhere were the main attraction for me 
I have actually purchased some of PlamoUK's paints for this one some lavender blue, and I think that I'm going to have to mix up some darker greyish-blue for a few parts of the chest and feet, I'm also contemplating testing out a cast iron effect on this and the Zaku(s) Ghost of Zeon -- Cast Iron Effect Tutorial |

Over the last week I had four midterms so progess has been slow, I have completed painting using plamo colour UKs Lavender Blue It took forever to hunt down the battery for the LED unit and I didn't get the desired effect do I decided to go without it in favour of a metal option part    Spoiler: click to toggle Spoiler: click to toggle THE "SECRET" WEAPON(S) To Be Completed: - Detailing - Washing - Weathering - Decaling - Flat Coating |

I don't read posts. I look at pictures.

I hope you've watched MS Igloo by now. It's one of my favourite Gundam series! The paint on the gun looks sorta particlely. Like the metallic flakes are too big. What kind of paint are you using? |

I have been using some rustoleum "Universal" for that I thik and their metallics always seem to come out kind of particulate, at present I'm okay with it on the rifle but it looks really bad on the thruster pod  EDIT; I think that I'll probably test out some of Kyle's metallics at some point, but I have poor cash flow at the moment so that will have to wait

@ Arcturus & Carrotz I have started watching them this week, my initial assessment: that is some badass S***. Took afew picks of my progress on this one started some detailing it can definitively be polished in quite a few places, but here's what it looks like so far Spoiler: click to toggle I have also come to the realization that I will need to get some more water-slides for this and the next few projects  To Be Completed: - Decaling - Flat Coating - Weathering Edited by WarMachine395, Oct 26 2011, 10:40 PM.

Well I feel like this one is pretty much done, I'm a little disapointed for not detting the LED to work the way I wanted it to, but I'm still pretty satisfied with how this came out Decaling, two coats of flat and some weathering have been completed though beacause the pics aren't the best the weathering isn't very easy to see hopefully they will turn out better for the showroom I have unfortunately not done any thing with the scope of the rifle as of yet but it'll get done yet  Spoiler: click to toggle Spoiler: click to toggle With the completion of the Zudah comes the beginning of my Zaku Project http://bandai-hobby.net/site/gunpla_build_01a.html Edited by WarMachine395, Oct 27 2011, 10:34 PM.

I have to say that I really love it as a kit, if you ever come across the opportunity to purchase one it is well worth it
Its gonna be a time consuming one
Yeah they are definitively going to be the heavier of the two projects, but you know only one of them was selected for mass production

I cut a notch into the thruster component, so that to activate the LED you just twist it
