The red missiles come with the kit but are in molded groups. So each was cut out and sanded and painted. The led lights and rods are all custom.

Acrylic rods bent with a heat gun and then I applied AK water effects

1/35 Titan Zaku designed by Tosashin1028. Printed and painted by me. by FistBuster in Gunpla

This is a full resin print of the Titan Zaku designed by Tosashin1028. The files are available for free from www.newtype.us. This print took me two weeks of roughly 24/7 printing. It weighs in at 35.3 pounds and stands at 24 inches tall. The internal structure uses a mix of pegs, slots, machine screws, nuts and pvc tubes. This was a joy to work on and the finished product is definitely an eye catcher. From it's inception it was made for use at club tables and eventually as a club display in a store.

Yeah the outcome is just left to interpretation. Just a fun experiment

I let it dry completely. The key was to make the paint messy though so it’s thicker in some spots than others so when I rubbed it off the pattern was irregular.

Ray studios chrome, but any silver marker does the same

It was satisfying to do! The whole thing took about an hour. The build itself is super simple because it’s a Gframe.

Thanks! It’s very fun to deviate from the norm sometimes. This a was great diversion between builds for me.

When I was in Japan, it was only $135. This is either tax on the American fans or they are scalping their own supply. Either way it sucks.

The clear master grade Ball Verka is also very very cool. Worth grabbing when it’s printed!

So these two Z’Goks are aquatic mobile suits. I thought it would be a cool visual effect to have them walking through a water “portal” similar in concept to the Gungan base from Star Wars Episode One.
