There is a good set of water-slide decals with each of these kits.

The decals went on smoothly.

On the shoulders, the decals have to go over an edge, but they conformed well to the underlying shape. The … Continue Reading ››

The paint is dry, the top coat cured and we've reached that fun part of the build where you add the armour pieces and assemble.

And because of all the work up-front, it took only a few minutes to put everything together. I've kept the photos with … Continue Reading ››

I was just looking at my RG Strike for ideas and I noted the gold stickers on the arm joints and how much I liked that detail so I decided to make similar details on these Strikes.

For the build of the Dragon Momoko Launcher Strike and Sword Strike I decided to, for the most part, do a parallel build.

I unboxed both kits, and fortunately the Neo Zeong boxes make for a big enough "table" next to my work area for them both … Continue Reading ››

The end is near for Zerstore, but the build is far from over...

Now that the majority of the painting is complete, I'm starting to make real progress on the armour sections.

Next up is the assembly of the hip section.

To get the sides to stay closed and together I had to glue and clamp. There's a gimmick with a spring but I'm not sure what it does. I guess I'll find out eventually....Continue Reading ››
