  • I think that the only thing that really jumps out at me as something to be aware of is the piping. The 2.0 Zaku uses the advanced MS joint technique to put the pipe segments and the pipe guide pieces on the same runner. The idea is that way you can slide the pipe segments onto the guide pieces more easily, without having to cut out each individual segment first. But because of this, that particular runner isn’t quite up to the usual QA standards with regards to flash and stuff, so I ended up needing to kind of jam the guide piece for left head pipe into place and then glue it down, because the segments just wouldn’t fit on it cleanly.

    Also, the the guide pieces for the leg pipes are actually springs, and have a tendency to twist the segments out of alignment as a result, so you’ll probably want to make sure to actually clean up the nubs.
