Lakers won, I snapped random pictures with the RX-78, we decaled the &#8217;78, and the Zaku got built; not a bad end to the day.  On the way home, I picked up some sandwiches from Lee&#8217;s.  When I got home, Jay, David, and Sharon were already there.  Art had just got there when I pulled up.  Angel and Sammy showed up shortly.  Later in the evening, <a href=\"http:\/\/gtetra.blogspot.com\/\">Hsiang Wei (Gtetra)<\/a> showed up, and about two to five minutes after everyone leaves, Mitch shows up.  Good thing he did, otherwise, we wouldn&#8217;t have finished the decaling for the &#8217;78.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 071_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 071_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 076_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 076_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 128_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 128_jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So before getting down to work on the Zeek, I took the Gundam around the house to snap some fun little action pictures.  After eating dinner, everyone made their way over to the living room to start work on the Zaku.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 047_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 047_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 048_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 048_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 063_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 063_jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Angel needs to get his foot fetish fix with building the feet before moving over to work on the decals.

The decals are stickers that come on a single sheet.  The stickers are not pre-cut and it&#8217;s just one whole sticker sheet, so we needed to cut out the decals.  Hsiang Wei showed up and started helping out with the decals as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 088_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 088_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 091_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 091_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 093_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 093_jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Su came over and sorta helped out with the hands, guess she likes hand jobs.  (as if you didn&#8217;t already see the set up and the joke coming&#8230;)  The Zeek&#8217;s head is finished.  The cables were kinda cool, they&#8217;re individual links that just pop together.  At least there weren&#8217;t as many flash areas as the &#8217;78.  However, the design and engineering isn&#8217;t as nice as the &#8217;78 which is kinda interesting.  No lights or anything for the Zaku either.  The monoeye is a bloody sticker.  But the weapons for the Zaku are damn cool.  Can&#8217;t mess with the heat hawk and the bazooka.  Friggin awesome shit!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 104_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 104_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 105_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 105_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 113_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 113_jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Gundam&#8217;s head lights up and has a remote control unit with several buttons that when pressed, produce several different sounds and some lighting effects.

They&#8217;ll be back the next day to help finish off the two beasts, then the real fun pictures will come.  Not more than 5 minutes after the core group of people leave that Mitch shows up.  He checks out the two monsters, then sits down to help out with the decals.  Hsiang Wei joins us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 114_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 114_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 125_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 125_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 121_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 121_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 133_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 133_jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The kit definitely looks much better with the decals.  And some pictures with a size comparison with Mr Keroro G3.  As a side note, the weapons need to be screwed into the hand, and the shield rests on the elbow joint that replaces the joint cap.  This joint piece can also be mounted on the back pack which is kinda cool.  The thing looks like a bad ass with the shield and rifle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 134_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 134_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 135_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 135_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 139_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 139_jpg.jpg\"><\/a>  <a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 143_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 143_jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And if ever there was a image of happiness in a gunpla modeler, this has got to be it:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"lightbox[2]\" href=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/images\/1_12_gundam 117_jpg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gamerabaenre.com\/thumbnails\/1_12_gundam 117_jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow should be a quick work to finish off the decals on the Zaku then on to the fun times with photographic evidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continuing from where we last left you yesterday; the usual suspects returned today and we had some reinforcements later in the evening.
