smeagol the vile

Glossy smooth pristine coats are a reason I have strayed away from gundam kits recently.  I just dont find it fun to paint.  I'd rather do something flat and weathered

mee too smeagol, but potchip argumented the work as a commemorative zeon zock (a wedding in the Zabi family ? Whistling

Although i like my mobile suits a little beat up, I like that color a great deal. Really far out.

 

 

My Gelgoog is boxed up and moved to my new house. I'll be back to it in a couple weeks. I broke the Kampfer in the move, and who knows what else.

I have returned! Had to stop building for a few months, my dad died and had a pile of things to take care of. On top of that lost my job and had to hunt down a new one. But finally things have calmed down and I have some modeling time. Just one picture for now painted the purplish color on the Zaku 1 today along with the light grey color. Planning to do the black tomorrow.

Grey Snake,

My condolences go out to you for the loss of your father.  I lost my mother this year as well, so I know what you are going through.

Best wishes, and keep going forwards!

You have my condolences as well.  I just today went to the funeral for my best friend's father who died of lung cancer.

Real G thanks, and condolences for you as well.

Smeagol thanks also. Cancer is such a nasty thing, it started out in my dad's kidney and ended up in his lungs. He fought it for two years but the stuff was just to strong.

Grey Snake,

What an awful coincidence, my mother died of the same thing.  She had it for two years as well, but only got noticeably worse late last year.

Keep moving forward man, it is the only thing we can do.

Looking good bsyamato Toast The Gouf has always been one of my favorite mobile suits for whatever reason.

All most done with the Zaku I progress is going really slow. Thought I would finish it up today but started doing some home improvement stuff and well one thing led to another. But I'm going to try to finish it this weekend I hope!

Well I got the Zaku finished today. I admit its not one of my better models, my skills have gotten kind of rusty. Part of the fact is I really don't like the colors for it, the black, white and purple were kind of boring. But otherwise it was a fun build. This might be my last model for a few months or so I'm getting kind of burned out on modeling. But who know's I have a Zudah waiting to get finished. Anyway enough talking here's some pictures!

This is kind of sad while digging through the closet trying to find Char's Zaku, I also found a MG RX-78 and GM. I totally forgot that I build these guys. Here's a group shot.

Looking good chaps - sorry I've been away building other stuff recently but I have got some paint on the Z'Gok.

Still needs a little more paint and then some weathering.
