This week’s progress focused on the general surface preparation of the RGZ-91 Re-GZ Repair II leg units, establishing a clean foundation before committing to the final detailing phase. Mold lines, seam imperfections, and uneven surfaces were carefully removed through progressive sanding to ensure a consistent finish for future scribing and painting. Preparing the surface beforehand is a critical step, as it allows new panel lines and mechanical details to remain crisp, symmetrical, and well-defined throughout the build. Light, repeated scribing passes followed by cleanup sanding help produce cleaner panel lines while minimizing slips or raised plastic burrs.  

With the surfaces refined, the next objective was determining which details would best complement the Repair II concept. Rather than overcrowding the armor, the leg units will feature purposeful mechanical enhancements that reinforce the mobile suit’s field-repair identity. Planned modifications include segmented armor panel lines to break up large flat surfaces, maintenance access hatches for servicing the actuators, reinforced knee and calf armor separation, recessed mechanical vents, and subtle notches that create the illusion of layered armor plating. Additional plastic details such as small maintenance plates, bolt accents, and structural reinforcement strips will further enhance the industrial, combat-ready appearance while maintaining the Re-GZ’s recognizable silhouette.
