Seasons greetings!
I decided to do a simple 1/144 Zaku build to start my year off.
To my surprise and delight, this kit turned out to be far more technical than expected.
20250101_152509.jpg One of the appealing elements was that this kit did not require painting. The first sprue comprised of multicoloured single colour and different plastic types, rigid and flexible.

The complexity of the build is a real surprise, but I should have been alerted, having watched the Adam Savage videos of the really big Gundam build that he did and was totally on another level in complexity.

Till next time!🫡

As promised, here are a couple of sequential photos depicting the assembly of the left leg. No glue is used in the construction.

I missed out some photos to keep it simple.

So my quick and simple build turned out to be quite a learning experience and a pleasant surprise.

Till the next update.🫡
