Gundam Gouf MG

After finishing the Zaku, I was now ready to work on the model kits that I bought while I was in Japan. I decided to work on the Gouf before tackling the giant Sazabi kit. I’m a big fan of the Gundam series, and one of my favorite mobile suits was the Gouf. The Gouf is a newer, improved design over the general use Zaku mobile suit.
This Gouf was piloted by Captain Ramba Ral, who was a great adversary to Amuro Ray.

 

The assembly process went by very smoothly, and seemed a little easier to assemble than the Zaku. The pieces felt very robust, and everything fit very well.

 
 

This kit turned out great. The colors are very vibrant, and the mobile suit design looks very aggressive. I like that this kit comes with a lot of accessories and is very easy to pose. I already added decals and may add a little weathering in the near future. I would reccomend this kit to anyone who is a Gundam fan who has patience.

I was very pleased with how the Epyon model turned out. It was a very great experience from start to final detailing. For Christmas this year, I decided to get myself a Gundam Gouf. It made an appearance in the original Gundam series, and then another appearance in “The 08th MS Team”. Heres a link to see it in action.

The design of this Gouf is much more utilitarian and brutal than the Epyon. From a modeling perspective, this Gouf has a lot of potential in material depiction and wear. I loved depicting worn paint and gunmetal.

After making this model, I now want to make a Zaku with a camoflauge paint scheme. It’ll have to wait for later.
