The details within legs internal structure are just bagging for show. I started to think how to fix leg armor and make it removable… I decided to go with some magnets that will keep armor in place. This is it! Additionally, I added hard plastic rods for legs hinges – in fact I believe that…
Allright! Let’s start big project – one of the most charismatic mobile suits – Neo Zeon NZ-666 Kshatriya from Gundam Unicorn anime.As in previous post – the model is Universal Century, 1/100 Full Resin kit.All parts require special treatment, cleaning from post production pieces of resin etc.I started to clean pieces one by one and…
Today is my birthday – I just receive a box from Samuel Decal with first big resin fullkit – NZ-666 Kshatriya Recast from UC/Universal Century in 1/100 scale.I literally fell in love with this model – like from first sight ;-)! I’m not fan of original Kshatriya, UC Recast model silhouette is more streamlined, the…
Weathering and details – I love this part – its time consuming but its very satysfying as those small things brings ”reality„ And a bit of storytelling into miniature.

Here…
For top coat I used VallejoMecha Matt Varnish – Long story short: model was disassembled… and matte varnish applied 🙂
Wow – Psycho Zaku is on top in many topics – one of is number of thrusters – MS itself, backpack and huge rockets set have those vactor thrusters in many places – real high mobility. This is how I see really maneuverable space ship! Painting went fine – Vallejo Mecha Light Gunmetal with Citadel…
Small things matters – technical arms are fine mechanical parts of PsychoZaku design – fully articulated and adjustable – of course I couldn’t move forward without some extra painting and detailing 🙂 Now, those looks exactly as I like.
