Gunpla Custom Build : RG 1/144 Zeong Special Coating by @ton_null

The RG 1/144 Zeong Special Coating, masterfully customized by the Gunpla builder @ton_null, stands as an exemplary model of unique modification and intricate detailing.

This is a straight snap build of the Gundam Base limited Zeong Special Coating version. The only additional work applied was fluorescent paint on the mono-eye, enhancing its presence under light.

The special coating immediately stands out. The metallic finish elevates the RG kit to a premium display piece straight out of the box. Even without panel lining or added detailing, the standing pose alone delivers remarkable presence. The sharp, menacing facial design captures Zeong’s iconic look so well that it feels dynamic even at rest.

One of the highlights is the interior of the skirt armor. The exposed thrusters inside are densely detailed and visually striking, demonstrating the strength of the RG line’s mechanical design. The layered internal structure adds depth that exceeds expectations for a snap build.

Because of the special coating, further detailing such as panel lining or rescribing feels risky. There is concern that the coating may chip or wear during additional work. Applying a clear topcoat could offer some protection, but it may slightly alter the metallic sheen, so testing on spare runners first would be advisable.

The builder also expressed interest in pairing it with RX-78-2 Gundam in RG 2.0 form to complete the iconic matchup. Even as a simple snap build, this Special Coating Zeong delivers impressive shelf presence and proves how strong the base kit design already is.
