MG Sazabi Ver.ka

[stuartlee2012]

Sazabi. .... So red, so majestic, so wow. Everyone's all time favourite. Char's custom mobile suit appeared on the Char's Counter attack.

By the time Ver.Ka lineup has included a Sazabi, i rerember everyone is excited like there's no tommorow... my heart pounded like never before. Such a great feeling.
Prototype pictures everywhere... Show-cased on expo everywhere. such beauty.

Then there's this issue everyone has been complaining.. ball joint for the hip and waist. Ver3.0 hand that easily lost a finger, 3 tones which in camera shots by anoymous on the web is different from each other that
i can certain which is the real tone. Some complained that the darkest red tone is just too dark.. i too thinking the same thing. However, once i have it in my hands, the reds seems good.

Now that i have my RX-93 Nu Gundam Ver.ka, this Sazabi Ver.ka is the perfect match and it's completed.





Here's the logo i cut from golden paper underneath Printed logo on A4 Paper. Pretty hedious, many errors, this is the 4th one, the most beautiful in my opinion.



Here's 2 of the 3 tones of the red. seems good



The chest... seems better propotional then the 2000 ver.


Chest with most of the armor completed.



I decided the pipes around the neck to be gold, and the head, which is pretty nice, with improvement from the 2000 ver. the Greed eye and the head sensor is sprayed with TS-30 + TS20.
Head and body attached... seems more exciting now... the 3 tone now looks better when put together making the contrast between 3 tones somehow blended.



The cheap looking of the so claimed ' Silver ' is now with better colors - TS30 Silver Leaf. much blink now and yea, that's my workplace. Floor... all the space i need.


The arm and shoulder amor...  the flat black and silver really looks good.  the golden thusters.




The 3.0 hands, newer... with rounded corner to match Zeonic style.

   

The arm is attached. now to the right arm.


.

The leg and waist, many many parts. cuting, triming is taking almost 6 hours of my time. yet alone spraying.



Beautiful contrast between gold, silver and flat black.

 

The side skirt armor and hip is now with completed.



Now to the right arm - Completed.

 
Now the lower part is completed with decal. the exciting moment - attach body and lower part together.



The Shield, more detail, nicer than 2000 ver. simply majestic.




Some decalling..... I messed up the zeon crest on the neck area, on the black collar, so i replaced with other water-slide decal so it won't left empty.


 

The body and lower part is now attached and the weapons and backpack. ~ very near to completion... feeling great!




And it's completed. with flying funnels attached to metal wires.

Massive and imposing indeed. Nice build and like the way you've posed the funnels.

Thanks, Shah... i posed the same way with my Nu Gundam Ver.Ka's Funnel.

I would say it's quite clean for a snap-fitted kit, but can still see some obvious nip marks on the pipes near the waist....maybe a bit more sanding? A few more quality builds like this, think it's time for you to move on to air brushing
