HGUC zaku I : the first zaku
Posted by bsyamato on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 6:13 AM

One of my favourite kit representing the first zaku before tons of variants.

one of first hguc with real great manipulator (before this type the hands was an opinion)

no great mod on kit, the main are engraved panels on the whole kit, under skirt detailing and monoeye mod with 

glass moulded by fire (used the original monoeye piece as mold). Decals printed with clear sheet from baremetal,

no primer, only worked with sandpaper on the whole kit to do a good grip for the enamels (used humbrol and model master).

drybrush with lighter and darker main colors and a final touch with light gray and white, and finished with matt black as panels lining.

the piece with some detail:
