Zaku II

My first attempt at lighting a model. A single led! 😛

Yay! It's coming up nicely 😄 First Grade Zaku looks also convincing

JD
Thanks S M buddy, I'm new to the Gundam universe. I'm inspired to try the shiny glossy look on this one rather than a lot of weathering. Trying to figure out how to do a sci-fi industrial looking base to go with it. 🙂

There are "chain bases" put out by Kotobukiya that look absolutely stunning when done up nicely. You can link different sets of them together and get a cool "Gundam Hangar" look. I saw a guy who lit them up and does all his gunpla photos in them and it's just freaking fantastic. Check it out: reddit.com/r/Gunpla/..al_chain_base_build/

Cool! I must admit, I never liked most of the armored suit designs in the Gundam universe, but there are a few that I like that aren't too cartoon-like. Working my way up to my Ma.k. kits eventually..

A bit of progress on the Zaku II project

The ZAKU is one of my favorite mechas, I find the light cool, gives it more life

S M
Nice progress 👍

Oh, yes! That's cool! 👍
Mobile Suit designs in Gundam are a bit of hit and miss for me, too.
In the end it all comes down to personal taste. 🙂

Thanks fellas, I'm feeling extra motivated now. He's coming along slowly but surely.🦾

Here's the base idea I've been working on
