Building old kits has it’s own merits. Like you get to appreciate the newer kits that are being released and see how far their technology in terms of making plastic model kits had come so far
Great review. This kit would look great with a black/grey paint scheme. I also think it looks more like an underwater suit. Instead of getting rid of the mustache extend it into tentacles.
I can see 2 possible custom variants. He is a fan of the Titans, so a minor customization would be painting it with the Titans color scheme. A major customization would be to cannibalize it for an EWAC GM, another Titans unit.
Had this kit for a while and it does suck that its based on a way older kit. Still looks good and I use the build hands set to give it better pose options.
I absolutely love the EWAC Zack from the moment I saw it in the OVA. That radome is just so badass. But from the looks of it, it doesn't seem to be a good model to get into gunpla and modelling in general. Maybe if I buy like 5 of them and learn with each new assembly xD.
Somehow would like to bash the head on a Zaku II the Origin and combine with the long rifle for long-range support fire duties. (or Qubeley parts for long range funnel attacks) .
HIS HAIR, WHACK! HIS GEAR, WHACK! HIS JEWELRY, WHACK! HIS FOOT STANCE, WHACK! THE WAY THAT HE TALKS, WHACK! THE WAY THAT HE CAN'T EVEN SEEM TO SMILE, WHACK!
Yeah Unicorn really celebrated all these goofy designs, even had the Juaggu take the spotlight for a scene. Also there's the glow up the Acguy got in the 2nd Thunderbolt season/movie
not much of a lore nut, but this design feels out of place for zeon, at least with me. why put so much armor on something that looks like its ment for spotting. not to mention zeon being low on practically everything by the end of the war, why waste resources on something that should not take hits? i think I'd be fine with the head being the kit it self, and leave the rest of the body behind. make this a support unit, something in the back or out by itself, rather than arming it to the teeth. thoughts?
The EWAC Zack is a Federation MS. It's a variant of the Hi-Zack, not the Zaku. Zeon didn't create it, they (more specifically Blue Team of the African Liberation Front) captured it.
I'm new to the hobby and one of the kits I just built was the regular Hi-Zack, HGUC 012. It's, uh...great for painting practice haha. That's about the best I can say about it.
My very first "regret". Love the design, but every single bit about this is terrible. The machine gun is ugly, the colors don't match all ober the kit, articulation is bad, parts are too lose , leg thrusters don't fit snug etc etc. But unfortunately, despite all this, I think the design In itself is great.
