unfortunately the truck is very little, and actually i'm changing the hobby working site, so on the table i have more chaos that usual (think i lost the mangusta tail rotor for this). to manage the little tank risk to lost something, then for now the project is stopped. Soon i'll put some pics of zaku to show the progress.

At the next

hi to all.

this is one of my favourite ms, one of the more bastard in the 0079 series.

On this kit i've tried to allow more movements to the foots, and putted lots of details.

let's show them:

The entire underfoot was cutted by x-acto reversed blade,  maded a basement to put "polycaps" that allow sideward movements.

used plasticard for legs details

Lots of details added to the chest:

Arms holes was closed withe plasticard stripes and refined with milliput.

the whole inside head scratchbuilted with plasticard sheet ang guitar strings to simulate the monoeye 360° rails, unfortunately not taked pictures when in progress. The clear cover modelled with a candle flam, the original head piece used as mold.

front air intakes replaced with plasticard profilates to show inside.

The rear jetpack was improved with holes and added some internal pieces.

 Wellcome to the jungle:

.... that's all for pics,

All the paint i used was humbrol enamels except for model master white. Dry brush used for wheathering.

Decals printed by me with clear baremetal foil, with photoshop software an epson hardware.. and tons of patience..

The kit is very chea, easy to ood built and good base for modding.

I hope you like this little bastard Big Smile [:D]
