Here it is... all done and in its natural metal glory!

Nice'n shinny, I like it!
Where does the part holding the bazooka come from?
The Jeep style on the bazooka looks great, I'd like to do that.

[Cmdr Harabec]

If you mean what I think you do, it's standard on the MG GM - used for holding its Hyper Bazooka.

Very nice work as usual. I love the effect the clear yellow/orange had in its various uses. Very Zeonic indeed.

[FichtenFoo]

Thanks guys!

Ez: It comes with the MG GM like Cmdr said. I had to mod it a little for the Zaku Bazooka. I'll be doing a lot more of that type weapon in the future. It was fun, challenging, and looks cool.

Looking good FF!

Video games and msv art usually doesn't portray captured fed designs into appealing color schemes.

But not this one. This certainly looks impressive and the colcor scheme and finish is pulled off well.

[Chopper Dave]

I like it! However I would like to see a few closeups of the finished machine gun!

[Major Blah]

Hard to believe a GM can look so good.

Jeep style all the way!  You're certainly mastering the use of aluminum and fulcy's option parts for your kits.  I especially like the shield mount.

Indeed! I've always thought of the GM as a bare-bones kit, but it obviously has a lot of potential just waiting to be exploited. Excellent work!

Looks really nice FF ... somehow the colour scheme reminds me of a Nemo's colour scheme.

Did you handpaint the yellow bits or use an airbrush for them?

[zerobxu]

Another great-looking project. Call me crazy, but it seems like your paint-skills have gone up a notch or three on the last few projects. You've made it virtually impossible to distinguish between metal and plastic parts.

The ZGM itself is sharp. I really like the 'Goog shield with it, and that beam saber definitely stands out. The quad-thrusters on the back look "natural", too (as opposed to just tacked on). What's next? A Feddie Zaku?  

[pu_rplecow]

Thats creative stuff man. It certainly doesn't look like its just a mish mash of parts and logos. It looks natural.

I think it would be really nice if you made a solid acrylic base instead of the current one. It looks.. well, not very nice for such a pretty printout below and such a kickass model on top but i guess they are really expensive.

[riccardo]

I really like this project, the use of metal and metal finishing is very elegant, not the typical Zeon design. I would say that the base contributes to the elegance of the mecha.
did you dip the clear plastic GM "visor"  in future?

[FichtenFoo]

Thanks again guys!

reversed edge: Yeah, I have Fed vs Zeon and while more of the feddy suits look great in thier choice, I made mine to have a Zaku-look to it. However when I was playing with the scheme, making the shirts and torso dark too didn't look quite right.

Major: Thanks! That's going to be my new universal shield mount style. It worked so great on both the ZGM and GP01R. Wait till you guys see what I'm going to do with my next project!

Zoccoli: GM's are pretty underrated it seems from the feedback I've gotten here and abroad. As if GMs can't be cool. I have plans for my other cheap GM that should be even better than this!

nightbringer: I rarely handpaint on Gundams. This is all airbrush.

Zero: Thanks! It's all because of Alclad. I actually already did a feddy Zaku a loooooong time ago. I think it was my first kit I ever posted on Gshop when I first joined the gunpla community. http://fichtenfoo.com/02GiantRobots/02a-zaku.html

pu_rplecow: It's not random parts and logos! They're my own custom designed decals for this and the goog project. That font works great for the Zeon style.

riccardo: Thanks! I always dip my clear parts anymore before and after coloring them. I find that 3-4 dips (q-tip swabbings really) of FFA after painting really brings out the shine and clarity.

[pu_rplecow]

i know they are not random! haha.. thats what i said.. just thought an end product of such a crossover sometimes results in a very confused looking mech. This one fits fight into the ranks of those zaku  

[dr_feelgood]

nicely done! i like the bazooka! but the gelgoog sheild looks weird. ( IMHO).

[nightbringer]

All airbrush ... crazy (in a good way) technique, FF.

[Maschinen Krueger]

I like what you have done with an otherwise cheep ass forgetable MG kit. I dig the colors and markings. I'm not so sure on the 'Goog Zulu shield, I never liked the looks of it in the first place, I think a basher shield would have looked better, but what do I know. :wink:

Where's the weathering? I guess it's a Jeep thing, so I won't understand.

[bhop73]

Looks awesome.  I don't have any criticisms.  I think the GM looks better in these colors than the regular colors.  All your additions are awesome and fit perfectly.

[bean]

master chief?


good work, as always.

[FichtenFoo]

Thanks guys. I'm not into weathering my Gundams. I prefer them to be clean unlike my MaK and Military stuff. I actually had Master Chief in mind when doing this. Worked well and better than my initial blue plan.
