Z'Gok WIP


So this is my WIP on the MG Z'gok. I have always love the design of the Z'Gok, and wish that bandai would make a MG of the Hy-Gogg and the Z'gok Experimen. But I don't see that happening to soon.
So anywho, back on topic. My plan with this kit is to do OOB build, so nothing to crazy. But I do wanna give shadowing a try this time around, and I may give it a light weathering, mostly rust seeing how this is a water type MS.

RGM-79G GM (G)

It makes me happy to say this, that my GM (G) is 100% all done now. I had fun working on this kit and learn may new things on what to do and not to do. This was also my first time weathering a kit, an I gotta say, that it turn out better then what I had though. I don't know if I go this crazy again with the weathering, but I plan to start using it more on other kits now.
Anywho the finish kit:

Zaku I Update

Here is a little update on the Zaku I.
- All of the gray parts have been painted.
- Run out of gray paint, so had to use spray cans.

Nothing like having a heart attack then painting your models. Was working on one part and cat wanted to jump on my lap, and made my hit one of my paint bottles. And paint want all over the place, not fun. =( Another down side is that I mess up pretty bad on the axe. I was going good until I try hand painting some yellow onto it. Lets say that paint didn't want to stick on even with the primer. So I may have to take off all of the paint now just to fix it. No fun.

Thrid Custom Rig Finish

I was never able to post pictures of my 2nd build as I didn't want the person who it was being built for to find out as it was a birthday gift for him. But seeing as this computer doesn't matter as the person is already using it, I can go crazy with the pics and go into detail with it.

The main goal of this build was to make a very good computer for a good price. 
The specs of this computer are:

- hec HP585DL 585W ATX12V Power Supply
- ARCTIC COOLING ACALP64 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler
- Seagate Barracuda 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
- ASUS M4A785-M AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
- AMD Phenom 9850 2.5GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor
- A-DATA 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit
- Sony Optiarc 24X DVD/CD Rewritable Drive Black SATA
- LOGISYS Computer LT400PL 80mm Purple LED Case Fan
- RAIDMAX SIRIUS ATX-701WB Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Overall the total price was $300 - $350.

Now for the parts review:
I will start off on the case of the computer. The person I build this for fall in love with this case right away. I won't lie, the design is pretty sick, but this case does have some flows with it. The biggest flaw is the door of the case. The door is really heavy for a case door, which may sound good. But the only things holding it in place is two little weak plastic parts which the bottom one broke off right away. The door still opens fine, but falls off sometimes which can be a pain. But other then that, this case is mostly good. Tool-less design which is always nice, black inside to match the outside, and etc.
For the motherboard, am not going to lie. Of all of the computers I have work on, I gotta say it is one of the nicest ones around. I had zero problems with it, unlike my motherboard in my computer. (XFX 750i sucks) Anywho, it is a ASUS, which I always had good luck with and this board is just perfect. I have nothing bad to say about this board at all and if you are building a rig for a socket type 775, I highly think you should use this board or another asus board. 
Other then that, I have no problems with any of the other parts, they are work really good. But let me say this, find any purple led fans is almost impossible, I was lucky with the 80mm, but good luck finding anything higher.

Time for the pics:

Z.O.E. Dolores,i

Plot:
James Links is a 49-year-old space trucker anxious to return to Earth and reunite with his estranged children Leon and Noel. While transporting some goods to Earth, he stumbles upon "Dolores," a highly-advanced Orbital Frame with an A.I. of unknown origin. The situation gets more complicated when inspectors aboard his ship are murdered and James is wanted for the crime. Making matters worse is that Leon and Noel are also wanted by the authorities simply because they are James' children. Now as fugitives running from the law, James, Leon and Noel must go by any means necessary to make sure Dolores does not fall into the wrong hands, as she holds the key to the whereabouts of James' wife, Dr. Rachel Links.

Feelings:
Seeing how I love the Zone of the Enders games for the PS2, I just had to watch both of the animes for it. Funny thing is that the anime do tie into the game plot, like this one starts before Z.O.E. and keeps going on after it. You even get to see Anubis a few times in it as well. The story was a little lame in a few spots as the father tries to look good to his kids, but ends up being rather cornish. Overall if you  big fans to the games watch it, if not pass.
