1/144 Sazabi

Photos by: Arvin Lim






This is the infamous 1/144 Sazabi from the old char's counter attack series. It's infamous in the sense that even if it was the mech used by the arch villain, it still got no respect and was given a really sucky IP model incarnation.

Major modifications were done to the face and the arms. The faceplate was carved out and re-positioned to achieve a meaner and more streamlined look, the monoeye block was carved out and replaced with a green LED. The arm joints were cut off and re-positioned to get rid of the Sazabi's gorilla arm problem, and instead of using the stickers, the emblems were replaced with ones made from plastic card.

Paints used were Mr. Color character red mixed with flat base, flat black, gunmetal (70% metal black+30% silver mixture), and gold. As a final touch, weathering was done with black chalk pastel and sprayed with a top coat of Mr. Super clear flat. For a detailed explanation of the modifications, You can look here for the construction process.
