HG Char’s Zaku II Origin Version

Last weekend I completed assembling a 1/144 scale Zaku II model and today I quickly detailed and applies some decals. Here’s some photos of the completed model.

It’s a nice Zaku II. I’ll build a Master Grade model next.

Another Char’s Zaku II model

I completed the assembly of the HG Char’s Zaku II (Origin version). It came out OK and the parts have a lot of detail. It’s a 1/144 scale version and didn’t take long to put together.

The next thing I’ll do is add detail lines and the decals.

Completed the MG Zaku II MS-06J “White Ogre”

I’m beginning to believe that the regular decals that come with the MG Zaku II’s are just advertising for the water slide version. The decals are okay, but they are tiny.

Next up: I’m going to detail and apply water slide decals to my MG Gouf v2.0.

Slowly but surely, the White Ogre is a WIP

And now back to our regular scheduled feature.

I’ve been busy and have not had much time to spend on this Master Grade Zaku II. Yesterday and today I finished assembling the legs.

Now I’m cleaning up the detailing so I can apply the decals.

Finished Char’s MG Zaku II ver 2.0

I finished Char’s Zaku II version 2.0. I’ll post better pictures on Flickr today.

These newer MGs from Bandai keep getting better and better.  The joints are very articulate and the whole model is very posable.

Zaku II version 2.0

I’ve picked up on making the Zaku II version 2.0 again and have completed the torso and head.  It’s a good model and when I have it complete I’ll put the old 1995 version next to the 2007 version for comparisons.

My kids love watching me build these.  I have some left in the basement *cough* 25 MG, HG and a couple of PG models*cough* waiting to be made. The kids have picked out a few that they want to go into their rooms when their made.

I don’t have the time to spray paint my models anymore so I’ll sand the seams and nubs to make it look as good as I can.  Maybe I’ll put the decals on too.
