Mesh was added in several places over the kit. Legs, arms, shoulders and chest were all given mesh additions where vents were placed and where new ones made. Power conduits were replaced with snake and mesh chain (snake on the forearms and mesh on the legs). I also added aluminium thrusters on the legs and added new thrusters into the bottoms of the feet and the rear skirt armor. Additional details were added by using pin heads for large rivet style details and styene for some more armor plating (especially on the rear wings).

Extra width and thickness was added to just about every part of the upper torso. I was trying to attempt to get a feel that the Zeta was still sleek and fast but also big and strong. Styrene was added on the torso to make it longer and the shoulder width wider. Styrene was also added under the chest armor to push the chest up more to make it look beefier. The shoulder armor was also thickened with additional styrene.

Painting involved a base layer of orange that was blended in with a custom mix orange to go from darker to lighter color. Once that was done, I painfully cut out many hexagon shapes and made a looping pattern along the legs. It starts from the rear, loops around the outside and up the front of the legs and over the chest onto the rear wings. Once the masking was down, each part was painted in the appropriate color. Once the paint was dry, the masking tape came off and then mistakes were fixed up.
