Hello everyone! This is my current project, I’m actually liking the default color scheme and might just do a straight build. The details in this kit are amazing so far.

RG 1/144 MSM-07S Z’Gok
Hello viewers! I present to you my 3rd Real Grade kit after 3 years! The first two kits that I posted in this blog 3 years ago was RG Aile Strike and RG Zaku II, man that was a long time. I planned to collect all the RG kits years ago, but I haven’t followed through, anyway, RG kits still amaze me, I have to buy more of these kits. I just wish MG kits have this level of detail.
This mobile suit is Char Aznable’s Z’Gok as obviously denoted by the color of the suit; a nice combination of red tones. The MS is pretty simple but looks good on display. Everybody loves a mono-eyed mobile suit right? right?!? XD Okay not everybody, but you have to admit, there is some kind of appeal mono-eyed mobile suits have.
Enjoy the photos!:
The mono-eye can be moved with 360 degrees of freedom sidewards as well us 90 degrees upward.
Front cockpit can be opened:
Z’Gok high kick!
Some push-ups to work those crabby muscles:
Things I don’t like about this kit:
1. Knee armor is a bit loose, that’s the only minor problem.
Thing I like about this kit:
1. Details are amazing
2. Clear stickers/decals are a lot.
3. Articulation is at its best.
4. The mono-eye can be moved.
5. Realistic propellers are included that is on the bottom of his feet and his backpack though I forgot to take photos of those.
6. Different tones of red for his armor
7. Has an inner frame as all RG does anyway.
That’s it! I definitely recommend this kit to all fellow Gunpla hobbyists! Till next time! 🙂
HG 1/144 YAMS-132 Rozen Zulu
Hello viewers and fellow hobbyists! At last I am done with Rozen Zulu! My first gunpla with heels! Hand-painting the white detail lines were hard!
Things I did in this kit:
1. The usual snap-fit build and nib mark cleaning, nib marks were a lot! And were very visible due to the color of the plastic (darker colored plastic shows more plastic stress marks)
2. Hand-painted the white detail lines, I did not do anything fancy like reverse wash. I just searched for the finest brush that I could find and hand-painted the white lines. It’s not perfect but it’s good enough for me, I’ll try a reverse wash next time.
3. Applied water slide decals. I have lots of extra water slide decals lying around, instead of it gathering dust, better to use them right?
4. Applied battle damage through my proprietary “burning a toothpick method”. :p
5. Applied light weathering using dry-brushing. Just some simulated paint scratches using Flat Aluninum.
6. Added some paint details like copper on battle damage areas.
7. Panel lining of course.
8. And lastly, sprayed a top coat using Bosny Clear Dull.
And without further adieu, I present to you HG 1/144 YAMS-132 Rozen Zulu! (Did they really intend the model number to be YAMS? reminds me of a local root crop in my country which is purple yam or locally called ‘Ube’)

Final Thoughts:
Things I don’t like about this kit:
1. Most of the parts are in the wrong purple color, it looks brown from afar, but when you look at it closely, it’s actually very very dark purple. But he turned out all right despite the wrong colors.
2. Standing stability is poor due to his small feet and the heels! XD
Things I like about this kit:
1. The whole MS design is cool! Almost all MS from the Unicorn series has superb designs!
2. Interesting color scheme.
3. The kit includes with the complete Psycho Jammer set along with stands for them (the floating flower-like thingies)
4. The kit includes the extending wire guided manipulators/INCOMs. (the claw-like hands)
5. Articulation is actually great despite that he looks a bit bulky.
6. Mono-eyed MS is always a plus for me.
That’s! Till next post! (probably another mono-eyed MS) 😀
HG 1/144 YAMS-132 Rozen Zulu WIP1
Hi guys! It’s been a while, but here’s my latest WIP, HG 1/144 Rozen Zulu. I had a previous project which was HGBF Bear Guy San, but it was a failure and I have to redo the whole thing and I lost interest on the kit. So I decided to start on a new kit which was this one and get back to Bear Guy III afterwards. This is just the snapfit build, without the backpack yet. I tested out the stickers and it looks okay from afar, but it looks awful up close. It looks like I have to hand paint all the white stripe details on this guy, which will be a pain, but it’ll be worth it if I can pull it off clean.
Here are the photos, I’ll update once I have painted some details and cleaned him up:

Hi guys! Here is the latest kit that I’m working on. Inner frame done. What color scheme to do?
DIY Airbrush and Spray Booth Prototype
Hi guys! I’ve always wanted to buy myself a spray booth for airbrushing activities, but premade ones are so expensive and I’ve been informed that they actually don’t do the job well and break easily as oppose to making your own spray booth. So I decided to make a cheap one(but actually performs better than premade ones) myself! And here’s my prototype, it’s a bit crudely made but I’m genuinely surprised it actually works pretty good!
