HG Zaku II C5 (bc I can’t find a C6) for Font Baud in the Crossbone Ghost scene I’m now putting together.

I didn’t like the greens used in the kit, so I grabbed some cans of Valejo Goblin Green and Russian Green. The grey’s/blacks/browns were painted with Testor’s Graphite Grey Metallic. The backpack was painted with Testor’s Diamond Dust and given a couple of quick sprays of Ironlak Black Techie, for texture. Bc this is the only suit of the 3 that’s “old,” I used an acrylic Satin topcoat to give it a fuller look compared to the X0 and V that will accompany it.

Since the Zaku is the only non-combatant in the 4-way fight of Crossbone Ghost, I grabbed a box of Build Hands Round. I was a little surprised when I got them, as all the small, medium, and large options were noticeably different in size from the hands included with the Zaku kit. In the end, I went with the medium, as they were closest (smaller, but still closest.)

    Those greens look great on the Zaku, excellent choice!

    Posting multiple images into the lemmy post is definitely problematic. I usually do it on the web page on the laptop, but even then the post will often fail multiple times requiring redoing the post from scratch each time.
