Project HGUC Operation Capture of Jaburo: Gogg (Final)

Part 3 of 3 ~

MSM-03 Gogg is the last of the mono-eye amphibious type mobile suit, the least good-looking one as well & probably the lowest ranking in hierarchy among them; two-stripes = corporal rank

From Gunpla

But with panel lining & wet etch decals, this HGUC kit does not look too bad at all...

The mono-eyes get together for a group shot...

From Gunpla

MSM-07S Char’s Z’gok + MSM-04 Acguy + MSM-03 Gogg + MSM-10 Zock (in front-to-back order)

Now that my desktop is starting to overflow with the bad guys, it’s time to recruit some more new heroes *MG RX-178 Gundam MK-II Titans Prototype ~ next!*

From Gunpla

While assembly is in progress on my tiny workspace, the ladies will have to shift to the top of my black box for the time being... =p

Project HGUC Operation Capture of Jaburo: Char's Z'Gok

This is the 2nd fella of the mono-eye bunch ~ MSM07 Char's Z'gok

From Gunpla

It's got about as many pieces of part runners as a typical BB Gundam only

The torso, made up of a simple few snap-on parts

The parts that make up a leg

One legged soldier; that about wraps up day 1 of my slow-build

Complete assembly

Not so bad looking after all... =)
* that leaves the Gogg fella to be completed next, before i move on to some bigger Gunpla project ~ MG Exia Ignition Mode & MK-II Titans Ver.2.0

Project HGUC Operation Capture of Jaburo: ACGUY

This kit consists of 3 mono-eye amphibious type mobile suit from the Principality of Zeon *the bad guys, i presume?*; namely the GOGG, Char’s ZGOK and ACGUY. Never having watched this UC installment of the Mobile Suit Gundam, I do not know the significance of this Jaburo capture operation thingy; the bulbous frame, design & inclusion ofpincette claws plus the cool water slide decals for each of the MS would be unique addition to my Gunpla lineup. Coupled with their big brother MSM-10 Zock, these would be my 1^st HGUC project. Nevermind the 1/144 scale (MG’s are 1/100), these fellas features fairly good level of details & have considerable degree of articulation; albeit limited due to their stocky build, but unique.

Presenting the better looking one of the lot ~ MSM-04 ACGUY; sans the decals...
