Added some explosions to the Zaku, finished the Guncannon, and almost ready to add some water.

Nearly done!

Oh, yeah! That's huge jump from one picture to the next.

 More! More!

Been a while since I did any work on this one but I finally started painting the Guncannon and building up the jungle base :

Next up is more camo painting and some smoke.....

Finished with the Zaku for now and made some Palm trees for the now Jungle scene :

Next up, sanding the Guncannon and getting it ready for some jungle camo!

Another quick update so you can see where I am at with the Zaku :

It's partly weathered now. I just have to finish off the chips and melted parts and then I can move onto the Guncannon.

Where did you get the no grade kits?  are they wroth it?

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.

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... ^ ^

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.
