    Gundam - ms-06 zaku ii

    Seasons greetings!
    I decided to do a simple 1/144 Zaku build to start my year off.
    To my surprise and delight, this kit turned out to be far more technical than expected.

    The complexity of the build is a real surprise, but I should have been alerted, having watched the Adam Savage videos of the really big Gundam build that he did and was totally on another level in complexity.

    As promised, here are a couple of sequential photos depicting the assembly of the left leg. No glue is used in the construction.

    I missed out some photos to keep it simple.

    So my quick and simple build turned out to be quite a learning experience and a pleasant surprise.

    Till the next update.?

      Something different indeed. It is rather involved and yet no painting or gluing.
