1/100 MG Zaku I : IMPERIAL GUARD CUSTOM

Here is another custom I did on my favorite monoeyed Mech the ZAKU.

I did this simple build before for the yearly competition for our local modeling group : MECHAPINOY.  This time around I used the ZAKU I as the base model for the simple modifications to make it look like a "light arms" guard utilizing only a heat rod that is usually seen with a DOM mech. To make it short........... TK07 don't have enough time before the competition to make a radical build or modifications this time around... LOL!

MODS:

• Modified shoulder armors.
• Modified the mechs head.
• Scratchbuilt heat rod / weapon mount.
• Shield mount / and modified the shield of Gelgoog to fit the ZAKU.
• Also made the Zeon Emblem from plaplate for the shield.
• Custom dark paint scheme and light weathering/dry brushing as to highlight the dark areas.

Here are more of the IMPERIAL GUARD ZAKU:

and the shield emblem image: this area actually push the limit of my patience.... due to the curve nature of the shield, mounting the the emblem was quite a task to complete.
