After gloss varnish cured I started to apply waterslides – It was my first time with Bandai waterslide decals – those are very good, not superthin, but very easy in terms of application. As always I’m using only warm water and Microscale SOL for proper setting of decal on model surface. Its so good to…

Again, Vallejo Mecha will be my paints for PsychoZaku. Zaku stripped down – I will not disassemble inner frame, I will paint visible parts only. Definitely I need to create more clamps… Primer applied!
Wooohooo!!! Finally I have it – oob build during Christmas 2018 – MS-06R Zaku II High Mobility type PSYCHO ZAKU, now its time for next step – painting and customizing. Initially I wasn’t fan of Zakus in general, but I gave a try for Psycho, I always was kinda impressed by the way PsychoZaku is…

Additional details painted and Vallejo Mecha Matt applied. I decided to replace antenna – guitar string looks just fine!
Dirt, wear, streaks, scratches and beated up metal – thats how I like my Gunpla.
