One genre that has caught my eye in the past year and a half since we’ve put this forum back on the map is Gundam modeling. We’ve got several folks here that build in this category and all do such a knack for bringing these miniatures to life in the painting and weathering aspects. We’ll be keying in on one of those builders this week. MZ has stood out this week for his work on the Master Grade MS-06J Zaku II. I have learned a lot about painting & weathering techniques in watching him build this beauty up and am very happy to put this one in the header where it belongs. Congratulations MZ. This is one good looking Gundam build. The build thread: MZ's Master Grade MS-06J Zaku II   |

I know zilch about this subject. I do know the multi layered paint work on is just outstanding. Congratulations on a wonderful showcase build!

I never feel like I have the perseverance to stick with a build long enough to get weathering this good. Stellar Zaku!

Awesome build MZ3! And I can think of no better ambassador of Gunpla than the Master Grade Zaku 2.0!
I have a Prototype Gouf coming in sometime this week, and am itching to get it started right away due to your inspiring build.

Thanks everyone!
The Zaku 2.0 is probably the best of all the Gundam kits. Years of armor building can carry over to kits like this very nicely.

Thanks everyone! The Zaku 2.0 is probably the best of all the Gundam kits. Years of armor building can carry over to kits like this very nicely. IMHO the only MG more perfect in terms of engineering and build experience is the Gundam Mk.V. But the Zaku is more versatile, more ubiquitous, and comes in many variants. I patiently wait for a MG Zaku Desert Type. One day… |
