Sorry for the delay--still, 6 days ain't too bad for me.

Yeah, Z'Gok is indeed awesome, and you did a great job on it, just as you have with all of your models.

I once built a Zaku, though I didn't know it at the time, as it was one Revell's Robotech* line of imported anime mecha kits and was given a new name.

*The Robotech name, with its distinctive logotype (a font created by a colleague of mine, oddly enough), was later licensed by Harmony Gold, after they abandoned plans to do more or less faithful adaptations of Macross and MOSPEADA (producing three episodes of the former, sold on VHS via mail order as a marketing test, and one of the latter, included in the Archives of A&E's Robotech complete series box set) in favor of combining those two series with Southern Cross (the most heavily altered of the three 'chapters') in order to create a series long enough for weekday 'stripping'. After Robotech hit it big, Revell began importing Macross kits exclusively, with their proper names and paint schemes; they'd already released a VF-1J & VF-1S Valkyrie, with wildly different names & paint jobs; fortunately, like all the Robotech kits, the original decals were included. Unfortunately, for Revell, Harmony Gold and fans of the show, sales of the Robotech toy line (repackaged imports, some of rather poor quality) and other merchandise flagged rather quickly, prompting the cancellation of the much anticipated Robotech II: The Sentinels--

Crap, sorry!  When I get to talkin' about anime I don't know when to shut the heck up!

Oh, I wound up modifying that Zaku quite bit; I have a couple pictures of it that I'll post later today or tomorrow.
