Z'Gok Chars Custom 1/144 HGUC

Z'Gok MSM-075 Chars Custom 1/144 hguc

Pros:

1. Pretty good detail
2. Minimal Seam Lines
   

Cons:

1. Ball joints suck really bad.
2. Legs are not flexible and easy to break off the hips, pretty much non poseable for legs.
3. Probably the crappiest joints ever concieved in a bandai model.
   

First time:

• Using primer : Mr Surfacer 1000
• Using future floor polish, future + Gunze Sangyo flat base.

Notes:

• Used Tamiya and Gunze Sangyo Acrylics. For the red, primer, black,gloss red (tamiya). For the dark grey arm/ leg joints i used primer, black, midnight blue, lightened midnight blue (gunze). The eye, i just painted the sticker so it wouldnt look cheap, i failed but i think it looks better than if i painted the eye myself short of putting a clear eye sticker on there.
• I applied the grey chest panel after the chest was painted, fitted the panels through the top of the chest instead of having them prebuilt in the chest and having to mask them out for painting.
• The acrylics were a bitch, kept on scratching, fixed multiple areas multiple times, lots of scratch touch ups with a #0 paint brush. Let's just say im not playing with it anymore.

I will post more pics when i find a easy way to take them in my little room.
