Continuing on from yesterdays post “Guess the model Part 8”, we now have the equally inspired Guess the Model Part 9. In this series of posts I will be showcasing parts of the model I am currently building. Partly so people can guess that the model is, and partly to show how fantastic they are!
Well it is pretty much a given now that part 8 had the model together. In guess the model part 9 I am going to summarise what I found during the build process.
In case anyone is wondering. I am going to be building the weapons etc. as well, however, I’m fairly sure you all know the model by now. For anyone in any doubt the model is an RG MS-06F Zaku II.
Overall I really enjoyed building the model. The feet, where it all began, was definitely a high point in the building. I was amazed at the flexibility of the feet, and they provide a solid base for the build. Oddly, the most satisfying part for me was the head. There are only a few parts but it just goes together beautifully. I will say I am not a fan of the small beads, they do have a habit of pinging off. However, I do like the final effect. I preferred the parts where the beads went onto solid plastic pipes than the two leg/hip ones that are on springs. The weakest part of the model, by far, for me are the two flaps either side of the main crotch area. They just aren’t very stable and when posing the model keep coming free.
Out of 10 I would probably give it a 7 for build but a 9 for personality. It is a step up in the build complexity from the HG but not such a step as anyone with a few HG builds under their belt would/should find it impossible. As always do not rush, take your time, and enjoy the build. Now to decide whether to clear coat it and panel line then clear coat and sticker; or paint the beast!
