Description I took this picture a while ago. A few years back Wal-mart was clearing out all of their unbought Mobile Suit Gundam Model Kits, the bulk of wich was Char Azanavels Pink Zaku, and since they where only 5 bucks each I picked up as many as I could. I ended up with 4 Zaku's, 2 Goufs, a Guntank, and a Gyan.

Inspired by the MS's in an Episode of Stardust Memory, I painted the Zaku's up in Desert Cammo. I used Testors Model Master colors commonly used in German ww-2 models. I set one aside to be the command suit, painting it in a different scheme and arming it with a Spare machinegun I'd gotten while getting replacement parts for a broken Gelgoog. These where to be featured suits in a fanfic I was writing, but a corrupted file and lack of interest killed it.

This picture is taken down at my mothers farm. At the time they where laying concrete down for the foundation of her horse stables and thus had a big pile of Gravel laying around, and thats where I took the picture.

I've been thinking about Updating this with actual HGUC models... problem comes with a) finding the models and b) paying for the modelsΒ  XP

But yeah, definitely something I'd like to do.
