Project Summary

1st choice: I built a Master Grade Zaku Warrior & will be customizing it to resemble the Live Concert Lacus Clyne version. I specialize in metallic paints, even though I just recently started airbrushing. The base will be gloss Pink by Kaleido & gold & metallic purple accesnts, I will use some of the water decals, but I will also give it my own flair.

2nd Choice: I am waiting to receive a 3rd party kit of an RG upscaled model to 1/100 of the Zeong. I tested an SD version for a custom candy paintjob: Golden Red as the main theme & other metallic colors like Blue & Gold.

Zaku Warrior Live Concert: Parts Kept Breaking So The Project Had To Change

Previously, my inexperience made me realize that I could not panel line & do detail work since it was assembled & thickly painted & top coated & the side skirt broke at the hinge (now fixed)
Then the other day, I tried turning her hand & it twisted off at the wrist. I was ready to call it quits & withdraw my entry.
Then after chatting with a friend that was a builder & contest winner, I came up with a new twist on the Zaku Warriror Live Concert theme. I'll update on a later post. Everything in order.
So I ended up ditching the idea of her holding the Gun & went with the idea that the hand is a Flame Thrower.
The title of my piece will be called:
"Love & Warning Signs, You Are Not Safe"
It is a very Rau LeCreuset plot theme, you'll understand it more later. You might be asking yourself, why doesn't she have the iconic "Lacus Clyne Alive" sticker on her shield. Why is she wearing the assault backpack? What's up with the scowl ? What's up with the Zaku markings? What's up with the LOVE Gun? What's up with the last picture? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!??? are you running or are you going to watch the Live Concert? Do you recognize the warning signs?
For now, here are update pictures:

Master Grade Sinanju, This Was The Third Kit I Ever Build, last Year , LED Hangar Base Plus

Master Grade Sinanju This Was The Third Kit I Ever Build, last Year .

This is also still my favorite kit I ever built so far.
I started building late April 2025. The RG Sinanju was the 1st kit I ever bought as well, but my building history was:
RG Wing Gundam, HG Barbaots, MG Sinanju.
These are also my favorite Gundams & Mobile suits and are the kits I have the most variety of. I love the way they look, but the Sinanju Red is my favorite Mobile suit.
Anyways, I recently purchased the LED Gundam Hanger Base Plus. It looks great, but the assembly process, since I am not an electronics guy was very complicated, for the very few actual steps there were. I ended up figuring it out, the instructions are terrible.
These are some of the pictures I took, just now. It is great, I love the variety of light you can have. It is a bit on the expensive side at 56$ Canadian, but I think it was worth it, I might buy another one. Another great addition to add to the videos when displaying the models.

Oh No, A data Breach! Resubmitting my resent post: Youtube vid update Disaster

So there was an attack on the site, luckily they were able to stop it but unfortunately data was lost. It looks like posts are gone & goes back a couple of weeks or so. But we also lost followers.
So it looks like they restored an earlier point of their system from a period & howeever many followers we had, we reverted back to that number. Kind of sucks, I was at 49 or 50 last I checked. If you were following me & are no longer following me, let's correct that lol.
I'll have to re-upload my posts of my MG Zaku Warrior Live Concert custom paintjob.
In the end, it kind of works in our favor since Gaahleri extended the deadline to the 16th.
So in the meantime while I go through my pictures, here is my WIP from the point of my last posts, I made more progress than this now:

A Very Short Candy Coat Tutorial Video Uploaded

Welcome back. Good to see you. Sit a while & listen & Watch.
I just uploaded a short 3 minute tutorial video on how to airbrush Candy Coat, using Gaahleri's Barbatos Rex airbrush & some Tamiya paints, including Clear red. I will be reviewing the Gaahleri Kaleido Translucent paints shortly. There will be a longer video going more in depth tomorrow, this video is a preview type of video.
The model is the SD Zeong.

New Tutorial Video On A Massive Chinese Kit Huang-Di

I recently updated the channel name to "Let's Gundam It" to align more with the direction of the channel going forward, gaming is over for us small channels, so the focus will be Gunpla & reviews: Movies, models, products, knees & other fun stuff.
Here is the link to the video below & I want to make it VERY clear, DO NOT subscribe unless you enjoyed the video & actually want to come back for more. I cannot stress how harmful it actually is for small channels, nobody else tells it, but I do, I am not subscriber hungry, I am strictly for meaningful growth...I mean how else are we going to establish our first actual Zeon colony without legitimate growth & support. We all know the principalities to live by right? lol (of course I'm probably joking as far as you know)

This kit is amazing & it always sells out. I got it for 92$ through Temu & it was one of the hardest kits I built so far. It's a tall boy at 11 inches tall. The plastic quality is top tier & durable, the inner frame is a metal so it will be heavy. The included stand is a must for display purposes. Painting this kit would require to take the entire thing apart, there are hundreds of pieces...but hey, I've seen people paint the 1/100 Kshatria lol
I'll follow up with a review once I assemble the wings & the long Dragon Ying Long.
Thanks for watching & reading. I always write a lot huh? :P

For Those New To Gunpla

Was building a cute little SD Wing Gundam during one of our many rain storms this summer.
I hardly ever complete my kits with decals because eventually I want to paint them.
It's a very fun immersive hobby. This hobby is as affordable as you want it to be.
Kits start at:
8$-25$ for SD (Super Deformed/chibi style)
HG High Grade 1/144 scale 18$-30$ for most normal sized kits to 140$ for massive 11 inch tall Psycho Gundam.

RG Real Grade 30$-70$ for most 8 inch kits, which are same measuremnts as the HG 1/144 scale.

MG Master Grade 50$-260$ 1/100 scale, these are usually your tall boys, keep in mind Gundam are usually smaller in scale compared to the antagonists Mobile Suits. The more plastic there is the more you will pay.

PG Perfect Grade 170$-900$ 1/60 Scale, the real tall boys. Upwards to 18 inches tall with hundreds of pieces & often times lighting. I only have 1, the Evangelion Eva Unit 01.
Then there are in between scales like MGSD Master Grade Super Deformed, 60-80$ a smaller scale master grade detailed kit. Mostly Gundams until the soon launch of the Kshatria which will cost about 100$ (I preordered it)
In total I have about 70 something kits with 18 built, 10 of which I painted/airbrushed.

I Love Zeong. Real Grade Zeong WIP

I still have not had the time to work on models or my actual contest work, but next week will be the first time I should be able to dedicate some time.
This is a filler video working on my Real Grade Zeong. I used to not like him until I looked deep into his eyes & understood the pain only a Char could feel. It's a phenomenal & unique mobile suit with no equal. In my eyes that is.
I am Greek, I love Tragedy & the Zeong looks like Tragedy in Mobile suit form.
The video quality is reduced from it's 4K standard to fit the allowed 100mb file limits for videos.
I'll post a video link to the completed kit later.
Thanks for watching & thanks for supporting.

A Prototype of my original project Golden Red Zeong MG

Thank you to all the followers & supporters.

The Master Grade Zaku Warrior Live Consert Conversion was not my original idea for the competition. The original idea was a 1/100 scale Zeong repainted customized Candy Golden Red. I was going to call it The Magma Zeong or Giga Zeong or maybe even Omega Zeong.

Sadly, the shop I ordered my 1/100 scale Zeong was not going to be able to deliver my Zeong in time, it's still in transit from China. I also bought an SD Zeong so I can blueprint the colors & I'll share the results tomorrow, for now, here are the blueprints, photoshoped. Sorry about the out of order pictures, they are not in this order of upload, the site is being weird

A Side Project... I don't Know If It's Worth Persuing

Last year, there was a popular Gunpla enthusiast that turned his Gunpla boxes into trading card style cards. Funny enough, I had a similar idea around the same time to cut them up into either Postcards or Comic Book board cards.

So I finally had the time to sit down & blueprint it... I don't know if this is anything. What do you guys think?

I have about 70 HG & PG sized boxes that are taking a massive amount of space in my place. It's surprisingly difficult to want to get rid of the boxes & being a Youtube Content Creator, all the guys like Mecha Gai & Zaku Aur keep & display their stuff. Do you guys hoard you boxes as well?

Biography

I recently started building & collecting Gundam models as of late April 2025. I have a growing collection of 70 Gundam & other type of kits like Motor Nuclear. I'm also a proud supporter & affiliate of Gaahleri & have been using their airbrushes & paints since I started Airbrushing a short 2-3 months ago. I've painted about 6 kits so far.
What are my favorite Kits? Zeon & Mobile suits. Sure Gundams like Wing Gundam & Barbatos are 2 of my favorites, but when you look as Zeong, Sazabi & Sinanju, how could you not love their designs. Sinanju is my favorite, I am the destroyer of Possibility!

I mostly post on my Youtube channel, 4000 subscribers strong & I focus on gaming & Model related topics. I am a Greek Canadian from Montreal Quebec & the Gunpla community is growing strong, let's dethrone Warhammer!

Build Strong & Prosper
