Big Red

[Thanks and Hail!  Zog]

Sponsored in part by Clyde 'Zog' Jones. Thanks!







by Robert Merrill

Scale: 1/60

Before Char build his monster red Sazabi he had Big Red. A custom painted Zaku II built to Char's inscrutable tastes, Big Red saw action only once before being utterly destroyed by yet another Gundam suit.

This is the Perfect Grade Zaku built straight out of the box. I used Dupli-Color Chrome to paint the inner workings mobile suit. I'd wanted to use Alclad but after trying to sand the first dozen parts and thinking of the logistics involved I canned that idea and used the Dupli-Color. I used Tamiya gloss red and Testors Steel for the rest.

Assembly went well with only a few hitches (my usual forgetting to put a piece in place and having to disassemble the sub-assembly to get it in place).

So there you have it: Big Red.
