Pre-Blog Kits #2: HGUC Zudah

MS-Igloo, reference artwork

I was working on this one in parallel with the GM Striker Custom back in 2011, this having been complete on Halloween night for Gundam Eclipse's Universal Century versus Alternate Universe Group Build. There were only a few very minor cosmetic changes that I made to this kit before I painted the addition of a metal mono-eye underneath its visor (you can only sometime catch a glint of it) and a set of very pose-able hands that I found looked quite a lot better than the ones it came with.

Notes:


UC - Universal Century, is one of the timelines of the Gundam anime metaseries. The Japanese is 宇宙世紀 (Uchū Seiki) or literally "Space Century". The Universal Century starts after humans begin to populate space, after construction of the first space colony side at Side 1 was completed. It has been the primary Gundam timeline, although only eight of the 17 animated projects released since 1995 have been strictly set in this timeline. The Universal Century science is practical and makes use of true science including the Lagrangian Point in space, the O'Neill as a living environment, and energy production from Helium-3 (named Minovsky Physics).

AU - Alternate Universe, can simply be defined as anything that isn't Universal Century.
