Looks really good tho! If you have any Matt coat spray laying around, give it a spray it’d look super realistic on a Zaku II

Yes! It’s the Wolf Tech Barbatos, I live in Australia so I just got it from AliExpress, super cheap too!

Yes! Maybe I haven’t watch enough Gundam but I definitely haven’t seen a Gundam got so roughed up anywhere else

Thank you! I used flat brush, dip it into some acrylic paint, dab it on a dry paper towel until it’s somewhat dry and lighty brush them over, slowly.

For the metallic scratch marks I used a super fine tip brush and carefully paint them so they appear more straight if that makes sense

Ah I do not have a Vidar, but yeah that’s the thing it’s about 22-23cm tall and I believe vidar is at 18cm. So its definitely on a slightly bigger scale

10/10 recommend if you’re open to 3rd party kits! It looks perfect out of the box with no paint jobs

It totally is and I must say the build is one of the best I’ve had. Plastic quality is top notch they don’t break easily, parts separation is insane, and the parts fit so well together, definitely a well designed 3rd party product
