BSY... sorry I cant respond in the Imperial Japenese build, No reply box appears in the last post area, But yes the Toryu has resparked an interest in the WWII Japeness line of aircraft, I am enjoying the build and the more I read on the plane the more I like it! Thanks friend,,,Doug(RR)

Thanx Doug , you have a PM

Thanks, got it... Let me tell you friend, I saw some of your Builds on the front page of the Impearial Japanese build and WOW, Very nice! Keep up the great work!

Doug

Unfortunately the links of finished planes in the top page don't work again :( i hope will be fixed

Here little update about the Z'gok, just found the color to use for blue plastic pieces: the humbrol 144

More updates on the Z'Gok:

Detailed backpacks with some scratched exhaust

Some color variation on the foots

And lots of pieces with post shading/highlights with first layer of glossy clear

At the next 

Z'gok is gonna be a mean machine! looking foward to seeing him all in one piece...But remember, too speed makes ugly results! How true that is...

Thanx RR 

here the pieces completed with second layer of glossy clear ready for decals

here more progress:

fixed the air intakes parts after painting

i used original visor to scratch a basement for the monoeye block

glued the chest and added some styrene strip to strengthen the pieces

the other body pieces glued and sanded, more work needed

a dryfit to check the complex

Also started to work on lower legs, removed some original pin

At the next

aand more:

Completely close holes around inner head and arms housing

and starting to scratch the monoeye rails

left to dry 

modded and scribbed panel lines on lower body pieces

at the next!

Been making some progress with the Gouf. Here are some pics of pre-shading and color on some of the parts. I used light and dark gull gray for the colors, I think it makes it look more aircrafty. I've made more progress since, but I need to take more pics. And now I try to post pics again...

And links just in case.

Finished up the Gouf Flight Type with some dry brushing and some dull cote. Overall I liked this model, though the legs were a bit of a pain. I made some mistakes along the way but it's OK. Anyway, here it is.

Thanx Doug 

Yyou you can have lots of fun with these kits because are almost withouth limitation 

Badlanguage excellent work there !! good choice for decals 

If you want i can upload two pictures of your finished goufs for the wall with some watermark . 

Talk to me about the question, it's bad to not see your finished work on the wall 

Sounds great to me! I think these are my personal favorites:

Flight Type:

Thanks! And I can't wait to see your Z'Gok finished.

Ok! Front page updated 

Ops!! it's 30 of septemper!! 

I did good progress on the Z'gok but i'ts impossible to complete in time 

Lots of builds are again opened .

Let me know what's opinion about to leave the GB opened or we close and put a thread in the sci-fi section to show the finished builds 

So here i arrived wit the Z'gok:

Finished the monoeye mod and closed the head, the clear part are lots of revell contacta clear 

Dark blue pieces first layer 

Waith for replies about the GB 

My 2 cents, I love the Gundam group build - maybe we should close this one down and start another? Or if this one stays open I may add another mobile suit...

A round two is not a bad idea, but waiting for more replies, in this case a new badge is needed 

In all cases here more updates 

Last pieces ready for first gloss clear coat

At the next!

The Z'Gok is looking pretty good. Can't wait to see it in one piece!

first layer of glossy on remaining pieces

tomorrow hope in second layer and decals on all pieces!

No news here?

so , i put decals on the Z'Gok

And scratched the head torpedos

At the next!
