Zeta MG WIP Part 4
A little bit of progression in regards tot he Zeta MG 2.0: Painted the backpack now black / red / white / gunmetal. Not really gone into too much detail wise just undercoating really. Base coated the black parts with a navy blue, although the finish I am not entirely happy with as you can see below.. I am hoping the gloss overcoat will disguise the awful sputtering caused by what I can only assume is the compressor. I have 2 moisture filters fitted now, and an entirely new (and quality I might add) airbrush - so the only thing left that can cause a spattering issue is the compressor.. I shall have to save a little to afford a new one!
Anyway, here are some pix:

Completion soon I hope, gotta meet the deadline :)

Zeta MG WIP Part 2
Moving onto the legs now, have primed and base coated. Have also buffed up the glossy coating on the arms to prepare for the decals to be applied. Not terribly exciting at the moment but slow and steady :)
I have also decided to re-panel line the arms - mixed the enamel too weak resulting in a bit of a faded grey panel line in the shoulder vents. Not good. I'll probably finish up base coating the entire model, apply a gloss coating, then do the panel lining for the whole model to keep it consistent. I'll also be hand-painting some detail here and there. Got a nice plan for the lower leg too - Will probably do this next.
S'all for now.

End of June update
As you can see from the below, have been mostly working on the Marasai devastator custom, which is turning out ok and has been a good learning experience, especially in terms of detailing and masking.
Have also been slowly snapping off parts, cleaning and sanding from the Zeta 2.0 MG kit I have decided to enter into the summer war competition being hosted by the gundam eclipse forums.
A couple of purchases from the HLJ sale, a Geara Zulu HG and a Rick Dias MG. Both suits I am a big fan of, especially the Dias as it is simply so different from other MS'.
In other news: Nothing much really! I am about 30 eps into Victory Gundam, which is turning out to be better than I thought it would be to be honest.. would be good to see more anime set around the UC 120 ish period. Although the BESPA MS' do look a little weird with their huge bug eyes.
On another note: I have has some difficulty of late with a very popular supplier of after-market decals. I received the complete wrong one's I ordered... To be nice, I decided to keep the ones sent, as I can use them for other projects as this supplier had only charged me for these particulars. The supplier, who I might add is on the other side of the planet to me, requested me to ship them back, and payup the difference for the ones I had actually ordered (which would work out about the same as the ones I incorrectly got int he first place!). I think that's out of order.. you don't ask your customers to pay up for your mistake right? I took the piss a little, but then (quite kindly I think) shook it off in good humour, and requested he send me a new invoice for the decals I wanted. That was 3 days ago without response.....I'll give it 3 more days at the most...
More soon.

Marasai Custom
I was perusing my collection of odd crap left over from old kits and chanced across some nifty little bits to create something unique - this will be the 1/144 Marasai Devastator custom!
I may actually attempt.. although its been many, many years to do some sketches of my ideas and share these with you. If I remember. WIPs for the Zeta 2.0 starting soon for the summer war contest.
Later.

Gundam Eclipse Summer of War
Gosh I like that title, its the second year running for the Gundam Eclipse modelling competition, and the first I will be entering. Will probably be looking at entering the intermediate OOB (out of box) category, with 4 months to complete I think I should be able to knock out something relatively suitable.
The question is, with the kits I have yet to build I am undecided as to which kit to build.... It will probably be best to enter a master grade this time so it narrows the choices down to three: The Fazz, Zeta Gundam 2.0 or the F91. I am leaning towards the F91 as I was going to put a ton of work into this one anyway. May chance me mind.
More info on the compo here:
And if you want to read the rules and find out more about prizes etc.. take a look at the Gundam eclipse forum here:
