nice..... btw where did u gt the bullet strap for ur gattling gun?I pulled the sucker off of a 1/8 MG42 figurine weapons set. It was actually attached to this: http://www.gamerabaenre.com/images/desertdom003.jpg I cut the belt a bit, so I can use other parts of the belt for another project yet to be determined.
Niiiice, GB. Not being a Gundam "officianado" I don't understand the base...but it looks nice. The gatlin gun came out really well...Shin Matsunaga is one of the ace pilots from the zeon. He had his own custom Zaku II painted in white and grey with his own markings. He was one of the aces at the battle of Solomon, and the inspiration came from the recent PS2 Gundam game Project Pegeasus OYW. There's a stage where you fight him infront of the entrance to A Baoa Qu. Hence the use of the gate and um rock formation :)
Looks great all put together. The large hand-held gun is very nice as is the base. That's some HUGE acrylic rod though. Looks better than brass or aluminum though. Overall paint looks great... digging the blue shading. Chips look better on the final piece. More subdued.Thanks, that acrylic rod is 5/8" diameter cast acrylic. I figured it'd be strong enough to not eventually bend. I have a total of 8 feet of the stuff, so I'll be using it again. I'm glad the blue shading came out and melds well with the grays. I was going to use a grey shade but opted against it because there were other grey's. This goes back to Motoo Osumi's Sazabi that also inspired the kit. The name "Ice Blaze Sazabi" just feels like there should be some shade of blue somewhere.
Ah, now I see the paint chip effect.Whew, at least you don't think it looks like he's contracted some strange strain of "Zeon Measles" *sigh* Yeah, I decided to not go overboard with the chipping and see if it'll work. I've seen other works where the chipping is on a very small scale, and I was never able to do that because I simple just go nuts.
Great work dude. The base helped bring out the chip scale for me
Very nice, gam. I've said it before, but you really are pumping out work!You know, I kinda of half assed put that decal on. And as soon as it had set, I thought, crap, this is a space suit, what the hell am I doing?!? And figured someone would point that out. Oh well.... good catch! The gatling gun was a last minute addition. My forethought into the weapons in a space environment wasn't so clear. Since the kampfer is seen as more of a ground unit with all it's conventional weapons (shotgun in space?) But it did fight inside a colony. *shrug* It's still a close combat unit and it's sorta close to a ground area (A Baoa Qu is sorta ground) - blah, I know, I'm making excuses :) And yes, you hit the nail on the head with the comment about Shin Matsunaga and the battle of Solomon. I read it out of some Gundam Entertainment Bible and some other places. And it's in the games :)
I like how you even used the leftover shoulder spikes on that shield (which was also a leftover).
Only thing I don't like is the "Ground Pounder" decal. But just ignore me, because I am being a dumbass over it not being canon and this scene taking place in space. Which is also the only 'complaint' I have about this work... the weapons seem suited for ground battle, not space. But like I said, ignore me... the weapons are sweet, and the mods look excellent.
