mmh..

One of few exceptions between my zeon army

Ok this way i'll try to do no modding on this (only if indispensable) Super Angry

The mech come from 0083 oav .

The kit is pretty nice and have a great posability.

Unfortunately the parts division don't aid the painting for movable parts, so the only mods needes is focused on this.

Here the snapped and dusted kit (brought 2 or 3 years ago)

Starting the disassembling

The head is great:

On the arms the first obstacle, the elbow is fixed between foearms by a ilynder pin:

I semoved ll pins and blocks to allow a separate painting of differents pieces

Photobucket

the same elbow joint need some adjust, no pcb parts inside, the movement is done by the black abs plastic that rubs with other abs piece. i'll try to resolve this putting a little washes betwueen the pieces, this weekend..

At the next Black Eye

thanx dj898 but:

1) In this kit , the elbow parts  includes the joint for the shield, that provide to work good as pin for the whole rotation joint. Smile

2) I had forgotten the c-joint modification ... Crying

i can try it with the elbow middle parts.
