The HG MS-06CK halfcannon comes alive!
A quick build post - just made my first Zaku, the MS-06CK halfcannon! Don't worry, there will be plenty more, but I just love the browns on him. Fits really well with the "late OYW" 1/144 stuff I'm kinda starting with.
For you lore nerds, why you didn't see more of these basically normal zaku with a Zaku Cannon backpack strapped on (yeah it wasn't even special built like this), it seems like a great idea, but the cannon recoil was so much that unless dug in or laying down they'd often topple themselves over with the cannons power, and even if they didn't the stress affected the machine. So very limited numbers were built. Still, cool kits!
I wont bother you all with too much talking about it, as it's the standard origin Zaku, just with a backpack that mounts two big waist guns and either a shoulder cannon or a shoulder gatling gun. (I opted for one waist gun, the gatling shoulder, and a mounted axe, with the gatling hand free to point). The eye is indeed a sticker (one faded powering up or a solid one active) and it has both chest versions (though not the c6 version with the chest vulcan, but I dont care for that one anyway).
In honor of halloween, here's his best zombie impression, or maybe the black knight with his legs cut off ("Its just a flesh wound, I've had worse!").
Finally, the full build. Oh, and a special little project I've been doing, mini boxes! I've got 4 prototypes done for different kits. They're handy for a neat addon, instantly showing what kit it is, and holding extra hands and weapons. I'm adjusting the weight and matte/gloss of paper I use and figuring out the exact size I want, but it looks good for a custom made prototype in photoshop! I'll have another post with closeups and more detail on these things, so for now, just bask in the glory of Zeon with the halfcannon.
