Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.
Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.
Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
The Zock is a walking fortress! Forget bipedal Gundams and Zeon Zaku clones. This pre-colored green titan dominates both land and water with its massive legs and thick armor. Think of it as a mobile wall of destruction that crushes enemies underfoot.
Surprisingly, no! The HGUC Zock boasts good articulation for its size. You can angle its legs for stomping action, pose its head for menacing stares, and even adjust its claw-like hands for various gripping positions. It's a surprisingly dynamic behemoth.
Absolutely not! The Zock uses snap-fit construction and comes pre-colored in its iconic green scheme, eliminating the need for glue or painting. Beginners can enjoy building and posing this amphibious titan without any prior experience.
While the pre-colored parts are convenient, the Zock welcomes customization. You can: Add decals or stickers for unique markings and emblems. Hand-paint for a personalized touch, like weathering effects or battle damage. Modify the design with custom parts or accessories, like additional armor or underwater effects. Even attach other Gunpla weapons to its hands for a more diverse arsenal.
That depends! If you love unique designs and want a mobile suit that stands out on your shelf, the Zock is a fantastic choice. Its imposing size, pre-colored armor, and beginner-friendly build make it a must-have for any Gunpla enthusiast. It's a conversation starter and a testament to Zeon engineering.
