Shark mouth huh?
That would be Ver. Igloo

if I run the company and hav the monopoly I'd be releasing one new product in each year and milk the existing product till dry. After it's for money and you need to look after share holders, not customers...

that's provided that they sell enough kits to break even and into the profit. Not all new release makes nice profit hence why not milk the old cow... it makes business sense - minimum invest for the maximum profit

there's also a coin box when you insert coin the eyes light up and the chest hatch opens to show Amuro...

sorry for the bad pictures

there's also desk clock in the shape of Zaku head...

This is my 4th attempt to put Ver. Ka armour onto OYW frame.
This time I'm going the full hog and use entire OYW frame unlike my previous models - while watching Law and Order on the telly. ^ ^

I got the little bit crushed Ver. Ka kit for almost nothing so I grab the semi-finished OYW and stripped it into the frame and start to test fitting the Ver. Ka armour pieces on to it. Yea you need to do some elbow work to get the thing stick on the frame as OYW and Ver. KA use entirely different frames.

Decided to use OYW face in Ver. Ka helmet.

Test fitting Ver. Ka armour onto OYW leg frame.

Done with both feets.

Also done the front and rear skirt plus the groin parts - lower section is pretty much all done now except some minor detailing up.

Currently doing the mixing front and rear skirts as well as putting Ver. Ka groin armours onto OYW frame...
All in all about three hours of playing with parts.

people use the small compressor from freezer and what not...
but unless you are good with that kind of stuff it'd be hassle free to buy one.

WIP

Ver.Ka+OYW

I get/collect junk Bandai kits from friends who want to throw them out.
always come in handy for some mod job or use for diorama... ^ ^

and probably the shop won't ship since most of postal service inc. DHL/FedEx won't touch it

I use EverGreen(?) from local railway model shop

WIP

I'm bit stuck at the moment with my Ver. Ka project so to take my mind off it I've got started with this Zaku I kit I got from my friend. His young son put this one together - using super glue with pieces ripped straight from runner by hands. @_@ Spend fair bit of time to get things apart so I could clean up where I can. While I'm at it I also mod the hed so I can take the head armour on and off with the frame still attached to the body. This should make painting far easier...

No saying when I will finish this one - coz if I get started Ver. Ka project again this one wil be put on hold indefinately.

ok small WIP in a while
been busy finishing off other models but finally did some base painting on the frame to cover up the mess I made before - guess time for washing after I put on some future

main point of modification were upgrade on the exposed left leg frame with working cylinder gimmick at the middle and lower section plus the chest hatch to be open all the way down... and replaced the head with optional mechanical head. I do have the helmet modified to be dropped on it though not yet decided on that idea...
