Yes – the time has come to make something clean and shiny.I builded Sazabi RG some time ago – just clean OOB build. I didn’t panel-lined it and not applied any sticker/decal on it – as I’m usually doing with my 1/144 Gunplas. As I’m huge fan of Sazabi machine – I planned to put…
Preparations started. It wan’t so easy to dismount Sazabi RG without breaking any parts – I finished deconstruction successfully with a little help of instruction manual – the model was build in 2021 something like a year ago, so I forgot how it was… I read on other forums that smooth surface preparation is a…
I have set of painting clips. It was fine for my previous buids, as for little Sazabi almost all paints need same approach – same base, I would like to apply it in one shot – I’m still surprised of how many parts RG Sazabi is build! Anyhow – I NEED MORE CLIPS! I’m simply…

Two shades of red went fine – difference is very subtle but does the job well. To be honest I was expecting a bit different effect – the colors of my Sazabi looks very cold – more…
For black parts of model I used Tamiya LP Black Metallic – no primer – just applied on plastic. Sazabi’s frame parts I painted again with three shades from AK XtremeMetal palette: Chrome, Stainless Steel and Steel. Looks good! Backpack details: The frame really looks metal – Xtreme Metal 🙂 – 360 video below:
I’m starting to fall in this color – cool shades of red looks great on metal like frame! Love it! Front skirt – sexy! 🙂 Painted backpack fuel tanks.
JaoParts kit fits well, thrusters are replaced and other small details from the set. Late night parts construction 🙂 Hands with metal actuator rods – looks real.
I was playing with metal parts to complete powertube for Saz’s belt – I really didn’t liked that, all beads were just hanging on metal spring from the set… Original belt, wasn’t just rounded, so I decided to recreate it.A wire from metal paper clip was used, then I pushed spring onto it then beads…
