My next Gunpla project is to help Jason respray his 20th Anniversary chrome edition MG Zeta. Produced in 1998, this kit had succumbed to the test of time with its chrome fading off slowing. It's going to be a long journey having to disassemble, spray & reassemble it again. I'm seriously not good with model kits hence the confidence level remains low. However as a gratitude to Jason for his constant help and support, I will try my best to revive this poor kit.

i too suffer these damages from my toys from the early 90s.
ie: those chrome parts on power ranger zords.
a very sad case indeed..
I kind of remember there's quite a lot of chrome on Power Ranger Zoids. I have times when Gundam turned yellowing as well. Sad toy stories but there's always a new beginning.
Thx for noticing my blog. I will pay a visit to your blog as well.
am looking for some nice gold and red paints to repaint my iron man mask since it gots crack. any suggestions??? thanks dude
Not sure if Tamiya plastic compound could fill the gap and gold paint for hand paint works. Just a suggestion bro.
UPS !!! i hav at least 2 Gundam kits with chrome/gold/silver parts & i know they r delicate... i do hope mine will not hav this bad luck (OFC i know they willnot last forever but...) i like a lot this kind of kits, with chrome & clear parts =)... oh & Dennis, go ahead! u’ll improve ur skills for sure =D
The shape the unit is in, must be just after the final scene in Zeta where Camile whacked Paptimus Scirocco. I'm sure u would do it nicely. Restoration works are tough but when successful is truly satisfying esp a kit like this vintage Zeta..it deserves the attention! Btw this is alfred here

Somehow I with try to avoid kits that come in chrome but I do have Gundam toys with lotz of chrome especially my Shining & God Gundam. If Gundam kits, they come chrome or clear whenever anniversary or special limited edition so they tends to have a good value.

The pleasure is mine to see you commenting bro! Now I have another supporter. Hee! Hee! The condition does look very battle damaged. Now, I'm the repairman in the hangar. Lol...You are right about the satisfaction when I finished a Gunpla project.
