I don't know why all the amphibious Zeon suits are all the most goofy ahh motherfuckers ever but I love each and every one of them like they were my children

Building an old Mobile Suit Gundam kit this week - the original Z'Gok!

This is an old kit - one of the first few HGUC kits released - and it shows. It's a small box with just a couple runners of plastic. A tiny assortment of polycaps. It feels like they had to pad-out the instructions with illustrations just to make it worth printing.

The entire inner-frame is ABS, which is a little unusual. I'm used to seeing mostly PS plastic in my gunpla kits. Normally I'd be worried about the paints I used on this... But it's just the inner-frame, so I wasn't doing any painting on it.

I've heard plenty of people complain that this kit is floppy, so I made sure to tighten-up the joints as I was building it. I used this DSPIAE joint-strengthening pen. I'm honestly not quite sure what's in it... It goes on a kind of milky white and dries completely clear, but it's got a tacky/sticky finish to it. And it does a fantastic job of tightening-up the joints.

Like I said - it's a simple build. The arms and legs are built from multiple segments connected with ball joints. There's decent articulation in the feet and wrists, but those ball joints don't offer much flexibility. The claws are articulated too, which is nice. And there's even some ab-crunch in there.

Unfortunately the mono-eye is just a sticker on some plastic. There's no dimension or detail there. And absolutely no poseability. It's just fixed wherever you put that sticker.

There aren't really any accessories. It's just the Z'Gok.

Unfortunately this kit doesn't have any kind of mounting hole or anything, so you can't really get it up on a stand. This means your posing options are a little limited. And they're also limited by the articulation in the arms and legs. You're not going to be doing anything super dynamic with this guy.

But it looks pretty damn good. It's a very simple, very solid kit. And given the price - about $10 USD - it's great for new builders or customization.

I'll be curious to see how the RG compares to this thing.

Master Grade Z'Gok

This is the standard mg kit of the Zeon amphibious mobile suit from Gundam. It has an original paint scheme of light grey faded into ocean grey, with thin white streamers over it all. The decals are from a revell 1/32 F14 and some of the kit supplied ones too.

Enjoy!

HG 1/144 MSM-07 Zeon Mass Production Amphibious Mobile Suit "Z'Gok"

Z'Gok done!!! This is a pretty old kit, from 1999, so to spruce it up I've added a lot of weathering, mostly dry brushing and some washes to make it look wet and covered in pondweed. If only I had some plastic plants or flocking to add,,,,

It's a really poseable kit, and quite quick to put together if you're stuck for time.

I had to copy the silly faceplant pose of course.

Pick up a Z'Gok today!!

I love this chonky boy so much

Still need to apply some decals and touch up a few bits I missed with the paint markers, but still a top notch Master Grade experience.

Tiny Char even got some love!
