1/144 MS-05L Zaku I Sniper Type

Posted by Meimi132 [www] 

This Zaku is my 4th gunpla kit!! And after looking at guides, and how-to stuff, I went as all out as I could at this time, (since I can't get ahold of any weathering stuff where I live, have to order online, same for polishing compound, though I've been told, something called 'Brasso' will do ok on plastic, but I don't think it'd do the same thing I want that I've seen in guides.

Anyways, this is the final product so far, I wanna get some Tamiya weathering stuff to make her look extra funky. Not sure if its a she or he yet... I mean... it does have a skirt lol... but it has a bigass gun to make up for the femininity lol. Its about 13cm tall, I think its a bit shorter than my 1/144 Gelgoog, but just as cool. Still like Gelgoog more. Now I need a Char's Zaku.. pink ftw!!

Oh, and atm, I've got the tubing on the backpack stuck in the holes with whitetack, since it didnt seem to wanna stay put on its own, same for the antenna.

I love its little knee stand, kinda similar to the thing actual snipers kneel on when taking a shot right?

I don't get why alot of the Zeon Mobile Suits have backpack things. Still need to read up on gundam history... I know I got a link from someone.... on one of my news posts lol.

    Looks quite nice.. From the looks of it I think you sanded of each and every part. And as for Zeon Mobile Suits. Try looking up Sinanju :D

          Well it certainly looks cool. Very complex from the pics I've seen, but very cool, and worth the hours it would take to build lol. So many more than this Zaku lol... took me I'm guessing about 7 hours... wasn't keeping a close count... was making it for 4 hours last night, and I continued today from like... 1pm to.... 4:30ish? Not sure...

        Wow that's why it took you that long, in a way it gives off a semi worn out look, which is quite nice and compliments its color.. And nice, subtle panel lines :3

        Though the putty kind of stands out a bit :P

          That ain't gonna be there too long lol. Hopefully not lol.
          And yessss sanding each piece was much more time consuming than I thought it'd be lol.
          Thankies too hehe
