At this point, it’s as done as it’s gonna be. :) It’s time to party like it’s 1995!

I’ve had this project in the works for a while now, though I never posted any WIP on it until just now:

So for my “Zaku Project” that I’m working on I’m building various Zaku kits- with the exception of the Super Deformed Zaku I’m building, they’re 1:144 scale. I’m going for a sort of sampling of the different (OYW) Zakus out there… The variety of different designs and kits, but all of them very [...]

Lately I’ve been spending some time working on a First Grade Char’s Zaku. It’s going to be a full polycap conversion, basically I want it to look and work pretty much the same as a High Grade…
The reason I chose this particular kit is because I wanted to build a Char’s Zaku, and I [...]

I haven’t been real happy with my first attempt at the Zaku’s lower legs, so recently I’ve been trying to do better. The first version I did, the plan was to build the common parts of the leg (the area above and in front of the pods – as these areas are the same on [...]

Lately I’ve been working on various projects for the Tekkoshocon model contest. I have a couple projects that are nearly ready for paint and a couple others that are in various earlier stages of work… But these two will probably be the be the most substantial new projects I’ll have ready for the [...]

It’s been a while since my last update to this project: the Zaku project goes on and on, but there’s always other things I want to do, too. After all, I still haven’t finished my Armored Core group build entry. (close, though) Still, there’s a fair bit of new stuff to share.

In the last post I talked about how I recently had a board fabricated that I’d designed… The purpose of this board is to make it very easy for me to install a microcontroller inside a model, even in very tight spaces… The general parameters of the design (specifically, the size) were dictated [...]

When I got started on my recent Armored Core project I decided I not only wanted it lit, I wanted to light the head and all the thrusters… Not only did I want ‘em lit, I wanted to be able to control the brightness, too. And not only control the brightness, but control [...]

One of my coworkers, after learning of my interest in model-making, was kind enough to give me various items from his old collection. These included a couple vintage ARII and IMAI Macross kits, as well as “Fred” here…
