1/100 MG Guntank part 2

I'm really impressed by the level of detail on the frame of Guntank.

Especially these sections that hold the track wheels.

I went with brass for the wheels, which … Continue Reading ››

For a change of build, I decided to go with MG Guntank next. After waiting 0079 though with the kids, I really began to appreciate some of the designs, and bought MGs of Guntank, Zeong and Gouf.

The Guntank has a surprising level of detail on its … Continue Reading ››

Gatling Sazabi

Next up was to get the gatling guns working on Sazabi. I'd seen it done with some pictures online, so I knew it was possible to make it fit.... But you never really know until you try it for yourself. Here's how it looks and I'll post the "how to" pictures at the end later.Continue Reading ››

MG, PG, Thoughts

Size Comparison

The Sazabi is a pretty large 1/100 MG kit. But how big is it?

Next to the 1/60 PG Astray Red Frame, it stands up pretty good, especially in the bulkier transformed mode, and the shield is large enough to almost make the Astray envious.Continue Reading ››

I must admit I was a bit concerned about the transform, but it looks like I need not have been as it went pretty cleanly. The right pieces moved and didn't fall off...

About the only real issue with the kit at all is that he … Continue Reading ››

1/100 MG Sazabi ver Ka part 7 – nearly there….

Gallery March 1, 2014 GN 2 Comments

Sazabi is such a cool kit, I had to get some pictures before I started doing all the water-slides.

It's big and imposing. It's almost the size of PG Astray. It seems pretty good on how it supports itself. TGN_2483

1/100 MG Sazabi ver Ka part 6 – Assembly

With the major painting done, assembly went reasonably fast.

Here you can see where I've decided to do the edges of raised panels with black oil wash, and actual panel lines proper with the white oil wash.

Although you saw the complete frame in my previous post on Sazabi, my other camera had some work in progress shots of the shoulder section here.

I'd decided that not just the thrusters would be metallic, but the sections that held the thrusters would be done in … Continue Reading ››

1/100 MG Sazabi ver Ka part 4 – Frame

The Sazabi inner frame is just about complete, so I wanted to get some shots of it as this is one of the nicest inner frames on an MG I've seen.

One of the really nice things about the Sazabi is the level of detail on the inner frame. One of the tricky aspects is figuring out what's the best way to paint that frame and it's components to best take advantage of the detail.

Alclad polished brass … Continue Reading ››
