First time building a MG kit. And I decided to directly go for what is probably my favourite Mobile Suit, the Zaku II.
I decided to go for the one of Killy Garret from the Playstation game Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy. (Damn these long titles...)
It sports a different camo and some other equipment. In the reference image it holds the sword of a Gouf which I printed.

As with all other Bandait kits I built, it's a real pleasure and fun to put together.
The design of that inner frame with the armor you can easily attach and detach is very welcome and makes painitng a lot easier.

I also tried myself on some panel line scribing to make it look a bit more like the MS design of Origin which is used in the game.
That means more angles and panel lines.
Quite okay for a first try but still very rough.

Can't wait to get my hands on the PG Zaku and build that machine again.

Painting is done next step will be clear coating to protect the paint and decals.
After that I can work in a bit of weathering, chipping, dirt and scratches but just minimal.

A bit of progress here. Painting done and sealed with clear coat. But It seems I was not very good at that. Due to some parts moving agains another I scratched down quite a lot of paint on the legs. MIght be able to hide it a bit or make it look like weathering.
Decals attached but I am not done yet. I managed to destroy the big "Principality of Zeon" decal for the shield and had to order a new one. Now I need to wait for it to arrive.
Once that is applied I can add a few more layers of Tamiya Clear or semi-gloss/satin and begin weathering.

Don't worry about scratches, you can easily patch those up, I think. Looking great so far!
