Again, I must agree with you guys and that is why my Gundam is called ZERO, not
Wing ZERO. This is my second Gundam ever and as such its flaws are countless.
If I have more time in the future I would completely redesign the arms and the
shoulders, widen the legs, fix the cannon, maybe even throw in a pair of
machine gun covers and four wings and a shield won't be bad either. I do not
believe that ZERO is a superb mobile suit and I have never claimed so, however,
I do praise it as a well build Gundam by a person with no previous experience
in this field.

The only goal of this Gundam was to test out my internal frame and to
"motivate" K to build a larger Gundam, if he wants to of course. (I recall him
saying that he will not dismantle any of his previous creations until they
become obsolete). That's it, nothing more and nothing less. I do not believe
that I have sacrificed detail for size, but then again my standards are
probably different.
I based my ZERO on a large poster, a 1/100 scale model, and tapes from the
series. If I have missed any major details, which I probably have, please
point them out so if I do return to build a Wing ZERO one day I do not make the
same mistake twice.
Thanks for you comments.
