Hello!

New post, new updates!

Ah, the Zaku, now that takes me back.  When I was a kid, the Gundam series was definitely something I was very into.  I watched most of the series and collected an absurd amount of those tiny plastic toys from vending machines.  I also bought tons of Gundam/Zaku assembly kits and spent hours gluing them (and my fingers) together, positioning the stickers and detailing with those special model pens.  Miraculously, I managed not to break all of them. 😅

The Zaku II belongs to the most iconic generations of mobile suits and comes with a lot of sub variants.  I went with the MS-06C Zaku II model and will include all the weapon variations its known for including the ZMP-47D 105mm Machine Gun and H&L-SB25K/280mmA-P Zaku Bazooka.  Oh yeah, love that model! 👍 I also realized I probably made the arms a bit too long so that will be fixed moving on.

Next up we have Vampirella who definitely has the most risqué costume I've seen for any comic book character.  Her backstory is also kind of confusing to me and seems to keep changing as time goes on (she used to be an alien before being retconned into a more classic type of vampire).  But Vampirella is a poll winner so I'm comiting to her style.  I experimented with bunch of poses and I also have a diorama idea based on her comic book cover from Vol. 5 Issue 2 from Dynamite.  I'll have to see if I can manage it this month.

After some community feedback, I went back and made some adjustments to 2B.  She should be closer in proportions to her in game counterpart now.

Grimdark voting will be starting within a week.  Please have your suggestions in before then.  The next update will probably be a public preview as I haven't done one of those in a while.  I also plan to create a new public gallery of prints by the community so stay tuned!
