Been a while since i posted anything. finished this up tonight. just waiting on the remote to arrive...........
sorry for the crappy camera phone pics- my ex seems to think my digital camera is hers, you get the idea.
colours are
base coat homebase satin cream (cant remember exact shade, threw out the lid)
yellow - halfords filler primer
browns - tamiya flat earth (thin coat and heavy coat)
satin black for the handgrip
satin clearcoat over the whole prop

Awesome! So once the remote arrives you'll be able to open it up right?
Wow that is nice work , I have always fancied tacklin one of these as its gotta be one of the most OTT sci -fi weapons ever
shall keep an eye on this one
Awesome Work!
Awesome, just awesome.
Good to hear you scored a ZF-1 remote/LCD game.
Just don't press the red button.looks sweet!
Did anyone ever make the open version? I can't recall if the whole thing was done with CGI or just the parts where it opens up.
It looks too dirty. Maybe you should give it a silicone bath.
i dont have it .......yet......waves arms at mr. mKadajiroth said:

the dvd extras said the ends were cgi leaving just the top and bottom shell, you can kindof see the difference if you look close enough.Spike said:

Looks really great man. Those kits came together really well. The paint job on the pod is really nice too. You got the overspray and splatter down really nicely. Awesome work.
Weird, I thought recasting was frowned upon around here. Sad to see it so blatantly and openly encouraged.Funky Jedi said:

Fantastic work Zorg
Unless I have missed it Zorg didn't say what the built is based on and until you mentioned a kit one could as well have assumed that this was a custom build. So, there are kits of the ZF-1 out there or was this one of a kind? Where did it come from and did anyone make a run of it (if it's okay to share these informations)?MattMunson said:

It came from me, and I did offer a couple of kits.
So are you saying that as long as it's not offered right now, it's ok to recast? I'm not going to participate (any further) in turning this thread into a recasting discussion, as I think Zorg did a great job doing this build up, and showing it off is what this is all about. It just makes me sad that the knee jerk reaction of a member is to ask for a recast. I find that to be in poor taste, even if the kit did not originate from me.
I obviously must have missed thatMattMunson said:
Nope, not at all. All I wanted to say is that the person asking for a casting might not have been aware that this wasn't a custom build. I for one was just curious to hear about a kit, that's all.So are you saying that as long as it's not offered right now, it's ok to recast?
Mr M, I gotta say, I read Funky Jedi's comment as no different as saying, "Thats sooooo good, I'm gonna break into your house and steal it". What you are inferring might not necessarily be what you're saying, if you get what I'm saying!
Just my two cents....
Johnny
P.s zorg, thats sooo good! I'm gonna break into your house and steal it
can we keep this thread on topic please......thanks
matt- thanks for your comments on the finish of the piece.
i had to restrain myself from doing panel line shading and weathering
as this is the look of the production pieces i had to leave it "clean"
i would really like to have or see a beat up grubby battle worn version.
