Guncannon diorama *WIP*

Posted by Red Comet on Saturday, April 19, 2008 7:34 AM

I've been working on this project lately, a Guncannon vs Zaku II diorama :

Basically it's a battle scene where the Guncannon is kicking Zaku butt. I'm building it for a group build over at Modelgeeks.com.

Any thoughts and suggestions are more than welcome.

it looks like you are coming along with your build. Where did you get the no grade kits? are they wroth it? I have given up on HG kits due to all the filling and puttying/ sanding. I am working on one of two Zakus now for a new scene to go to the Nationals with in August. I am inflicting a fair amount of wear and tear to my units, and my shield sure looks a lot like yours now.

I like to work with 1/144 scale for diorama since the end result is much more compact and easy to display. Last time I made 1/100 it's been since dismantled and stored/parts used since I had no space to put the thing on. Mind you even at 1/144 the whole thing can be big~

When I work with 1/144 kit I usually distch the joint ormodify since being diorama the pose wil be locked. I also like where this project is going and ahve been watching with the anticipation... ^ ^

I got this one from hobby search (www.1999.co.jp/eng) for next to nothing. They are only worth using as test subjects or destroying as I'm doing. Seams are a nightmare too.
