The ZGMF-1001/M Blaze Zaku Phantom is a terrible kit, a bad HG in 1/100 scale. I did what I could with it. My version compared to the original. #Gundam #Gunpla #GunplaBuilder #GundamBuilder

This little project is finished. All of it is scratch build, except the head, that came from a doll. I’m pretty interested in mix organic and mechanical, and this is my first attempt.

I'm working on this kit now. In the photos it looked like it could do some interesting things, but... It's a nightmare. It's a glorified 1/100 HG, it has huge amounts of polycaps, absolutely no detail, and seam lines as wide as the Nile River.

I still have to complete the gun, but it will probably be finished this week. Is it... It looks good? it looks like it does, but there comes a time when you get so saturated with the kit that it loses its charm. #Gundam #Gunpla #GunplaBuilder #GundamBuilder

Yesterday the metallic parts arrived and this morning I stopped for a moment to assemble them. I have to make a couple of retouches and better photos, but this Zaku would be ready.

This one, once painted, will look gorgeous. Let’s finish some retouching, wash and start priming.

The axe that comes with the Zaku II MG is boring, so I used several parts, plaplate and runner parts to create something… better?

Let’s start with decals, first weaponry. Still needs a matte varnish coat.

Advancing at a good speed. Tomorrow we'll see if I can make some progress with my legs and then we'll move on to detailing and corrections and then to the decals, which will be another big job.

Although I have made a lot of progress, I still need to weather the engines and matte varnish. But we are close. #gundam #grimoire #gundambuilder #Gunpla

A detailed model of a mech with propellers on its back, holding a large gun. The mech features a brown color scheme with red accents and is positioned on a green cutting mat. In the background, various tools and materials can be seen.

You could add custom shoulder pads with plaplate, it will allow you to stylize the figure, give it more 40k flavour and make it less noticeable that it is a Gundam.
