The Y2K Zaku - Bandai 1/144 High Grade Gunner Zaku Warrior - Build Overview and Thoughts

Well this took longer than it should have!

I think this Zaku was very much a casualty of my conflicting desires to build more Gunpla for the YouTube, but also to take a quick break from building said Gunpla. As such, it’s not the most exceptional build I’ve done, not helped by the rather heavy seam line removal and painting I had to do. Regardless, I’m pretty happy with the finished results, and if you put in the time and attention, it’s a surprisingly forward-thinking model with some excellent shelf value. I’ll definitely be keeping my eye out for more of the OG Seed/Destiny kits!

As usual, the commentary track may be a little iffy EQ-wise - I recorded it over several days, and I am very bad at keeping my microphone in the same position. That, and a heatwave showed up at the end and did my voice in slightly. I did finally get a better pop shield afterwards, so by next time there may be less boominess on certain words.

Next build will (ideally) be done far quicker - it’s going to be a more recent kit, because all these seam lines lately are driving me mad. Thanks for being patient whilst I chucked this one together, and cheers for helping me reach 250 subscribers and all - when I started this channel, I was expecting 25 tops!
