    If you're wanting an RX-78 2 to coincide with that zaku of yours, I definitely recommend the MG RX-78 2 The Origin. The Origin line of kits kind of reimagine the original mobile suits with more modernized designs that keep the identity of their 80's counterparts. I think you'll enjoy the build of the MG Gundam the Origin. One of the bigger changes from the OG is that the origin has a shoulder Canon in place of one of the beam sabers. It also has a small Vulcan gatling gun in the shoulders. I think it'd be right up your alley.

    So, the way the hoses are supposed to work is that you slide the red segments over to the curved piece BEFORE you cut the curved part off of the straight one. This makes the piping significantly easier to deal with. There's no shortcut for the leg hoses though, those ones are always annoying to deal with. This kit was released during the absolute peak of the MG line, and is part of a set of models that beautifully recreate the mobile suits of the original Gundam anime. The Gundam RX-78 2.0, GM 2.0, Guntank, Gouf 2.0, and Gelgoog 2.0 are just as great as the Zaku is, and aside from the Gouf none of the other models use the Zaku's hoses. Finally, a quick little tip: not every machine from the Gundam anime series is called a Gundam. If it doesn't have the word Gundam literally in its name, then its just called a "mobile suit". Gundam is a name used only for certain high-performance mobile suits, not for mass-produced grunts like the Zaku.

    your feeling on the kit are pretty universal, the pipes are always a pain, and when I built mine I also put the torso connection point in upside down. Yes it’s a pain to build, but looks amazing. There’s just something about the zaku II that feels amazing. From the anime to the model kit, the design just feels like something that would actually be made for war. Also, keep up the good content!

    Also, I learned the Panel Line Pens are good for Out of Box Build. But if you customize, the Tamiya Panel Liner is the way to go. Especially if you add intricate Panel lines, you just need the easy flowing Tamiya on that. And it's applied after applying Top Gloss Coat.

    What I noticed from some of your videos is that you spread the runners on the table same way I did when I started, I found it easier to keep them in a file holder, ones you keep vertically with dividers in between, keep the runners like you would a file and sort in Alphabetical order, I found that it saves space and easier to find the runners I need. What I find really cool about the MG is that some of them comes with a cockpit and pilot with a door opening to the cockpit on the chest. If you want a change of pace you could always get some SD kits, some are really adorable while some are awesome and adorable. If you are up for a challenge you can go for the MG or RG Unicorn Full Armor Ver Ka (am still in the process of building), but a warning though, it will take time and patience because there are alot of runners and stickers. If you want to take it to the next level then the MGEX Unicorn would be a good choice cause it has LEDs (If it's still available). Still all in all cool build, whether its tough, frustrating or annoying, whenever you are finished with it and admire your work, it's so worth the effort.

You mentioned customizing, and if you really want to get into that, then I think being strategic about what to start with is probably a good idea. Picking a HG with a lot of flat surfaces to make sanding and general prep for painting easier, as well as just having a more simple baseline to add details to.

I cut them individually then install it one by one. Saved my nail and finger from zaku related injuries. I also messed up the inner reactor piece that connects the torso to its waist. Learned the lesson and built more zakus afterwards. I would recommend for you to buy part seperators, (you may also buy a cheaper alternative which works exactly the same with those branded ones, just search watch opener or seperator tool) My hg zaku is also arriving today so cheers!

    The Tamiya liner fluid is best over a painted kit! once a kit is painted and gloss coated, the pens would scratch through it (and get gunked up by the paint). Tamiya's liner is enamel so once it's dry it's more durable, whereas the pens can fade easily if handled too much without a top coat. The pens have the plus side of being perfectly safe on plastic and are a lot less messy to use though! If you're a fan of Evangelion I definitely recommend the RG Evangelion kits! or if you want to go big there's a series of very large kits made by a company called Meng. Don't touch any other Evangelion kits out there besides the RGs or the Meng kits though, they're not a fun time 💀

    Well, if you think the MG 2.0 version broke you, you should try the old PG 1/60 ZAKU II. Either the green or Char's version will suffice. I had to reshape parts, refit and fill in what felt like pot holes for sink marks in the plastic on certain parts. Not at all what one envisions for a PG kit, even with it's age.

    Yea you don’t have to add decals if you don’t want to, I do waterslide decals and tbh it’s the most tedious process of a build, I will build a kit and let it sit for two months til i get around to doing waterslides… also tamiya panel liner is better if you use it correctly, it’s cleaner and more visible lines over time. The Gundam marker panel liner tends to fade over time and the ink expands(can especially see on white plastic over time). But there is no shame in not doing decals and using Gundam marker panel liner, we all do that. I would just stick with what you did with this one for future builds, only adding decals if you feel like it. Also I use alcohol pads to clean up Gundam marker.

    The idea behind how they want you to do the tubes is kinda clever. If you noticed the runner with the beads is almost always molded with the piece they need to go on. So in theory you can cut all the beads loose in one go and slide them on the piece, in THEORY! Reality is your fingers will bleed and it’s a painfull process and the worst part of the kit by far. I can see what they wanted to do but clearly their tech for molding two types of plastic at once on a runner wasn’t quite there yet.

    I can tell that you're not good at following the directions in the manual. moving the beads onto the part that holds them onto the body is difficult. but the reason you had trouble with the legs is you didn't follow the steps of putting the parts on in the correct order. the power cable goes on first, top ball joint and then the bottom one, then you put the thigh armor on the leg which locks the top ball joint in place. if you had done that in the correct order you would have had a much easier time and wouldn't have had to force the ball joint into the socket.
