... I broke the Kampfer in the move, and who knows what else.

 

 

ssssss... it   he was needed a nuclear shelter for moving

nice decalling potchip, a commemorative motive to put with decals was great, search between aircraft decals repository, something can work as

Its very nice.  Are the claws that color or are they golden?

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.

Scavenged markings from Rx-78 Ver.Ka...and other decals

I'm green

Nope I'm brown

where's the imperfections? i see good layered metal on waiting for decals 

YEEEEEHAA

All colours done. Now...some decals to hide the imperfections

Poor Garma... killed by those federation b***ards

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 ? )

Blingbling~ 

Very cool color.

I dont like gloss enamels either. But i would like to try alclad on a Sazabi.

nice egg potchip

Trialing Alclad II's prismatic green to gold. It's not as 'light' as I expected and the real nasty surprise was it's not a gloss colour - it's decidedly flat once sprayed on a gloss black undercoat.

Painting session was not without incident with frequent drops - I really hate gloss enamels....just never seems to dry.

The little steel egg

Now it looks green

Now it sort of doesn't

please post wips

Im still being lazy and avoiding doing the road wheels on my Magella attack tank

Zock all cleaned and filled up, painting this week...

DR great mods on the old gelgoog

will be a good inspiration for my copy

Haven't gotten too far yet, mostly fitting and prepping. but started to mod the head and added details under the 'skirt' and shoulders.

I'm moving at the end of the month, so I probably wont have much time to work on it for a bit. Gunna watch some spaghetti westerns and work on it tonight though. I put the cannon together and its much too small. :P

brought three copy of this good kit, the white plastic on claws sounds good

i prefered to fill the gap with putty but, the z'gok e was my second finished gunpla

keep on wipping

Thanks mate!

Well here we are - I'm not going to go too crazy, just repostion the eye, fill the claws in and once painted give it a bit of weathering to make it look like it has at least been in the water once or twice.

I will blend the claws in with a bit of sanding - should be good once done.

yess!!

Ok BSY put me down for the Z'Gok too - I'll have some pix up soon.

I will probably be boring with the core fighter and go with the normal scheme but I haven't decided yet, going to build a base for it and may put some sort of tow truck with it if I can find anything that will go.

how about this guy? I think its an older kit, but it was cheap and i planned on modding it a bit anyway.

 

DrShrinker this work and we have a gelgoog  

i'll update the List .

I have the old mg too, joints don't work so good as newer kits.

Potchip for the armour pins on the inner, i even use the x-acto blade ,not turning in as normal pins but cutted it following the female pin border a little hope explained 

Zock has internal frame..it's the attachment points between the outer armour and internal frame that was proving problematic. I shaved off the male side given they are relatively hidden, the female joints form part of the inner frame..Looks like I will have to sand the claw bits a bit for non-interference once painted.

Whenever doing ANY gundam kit.  You  M  U  S  T  put an exacto into the female end of the snap part and spin it a few times, widening it to make it easier to remove after you test fit it.

Got mine started. Ditched any modification. Primary objective would be to use my bottle of alclad prismatic green gold paint with green clear coat.

Must say...Zock's not designed for dis assembly...big pieces + tight fit..very difficult to break off again once snapped..

Dave, want to add the z'gok on the gb ?? (or others too) 

I see the core fighter review ,really impressive number of pieces, the only thing i disagree on these kits are the thickness of some piece forced by the snap system, a "need glue to assembly"  gundam kits from bandai actually is just a dream.

Think my opinion is clear on which gundam period is the best for me

just have only a blue astray that does not macht with others ms desing. 

Can't wait to start another GB next year with all mechs subjects

Dave,

When you get around to the Core Fighter, what color scheme do you have in mind?  Since you are an airplane guy, would you be considering something like low-viz grey, camouflage, or a prototype test color?  Even though it is not a naval aircraft, it would look really cool on a diorama base with a blast deflector!  The canon White Base deflectors looked kind of like inverted dustbins, but the type found on carriers would be much nicer looking, IMHO.

Be sure to post progress photos of your Z'Gock E, and let us know how the kit assembles.  Inquiring minds want to know!

Cheers chaps I just love the UC stuff - have done some 00 and Seed but the original is the best as they say.

I have been poring over the Core Fighter kit today and boy is that a nice kit  - absolutely fantastic! I am originally a plane guy so this is the best of both worlds. 

I started the Z'Gok E today cos I couldn't resist it and to tell the truth I'll probably build em all by next May LOL - and I would like to show them here as you guys seem to appreciate your Gundam a lot.
