Here she is. My first attempt at a Gundam.



I’m not completely happy with it yet. The arms look like they were thrown together in 15 minutes......which they were. It is also nearly impossible to get the thing to stand up. The ankles are pretty weak. I’ll probably copy Glagla’s Dancougar ankle since I copied the rest of the joints in the leg from it in the first place. The head is articulated and moves up, down, and turns. Overall posability suffers just because it is so top heavy.

I hope to have some decent pictures up soon.

Here’s the folder.

I’d appreciate any and all comments/criticism.

(...) Brayton, stunning moc for a first try. Much better than my first (and only) try at a Gundam style moc ((URL) Zion>).

(...) Ooooh nice. I like the legs too, very well made. I agree with Chris, the whole thing doesn't really gel, but the individual parts are great. New arms would help, I think. All in all great job! Soren (20 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
  Re: Gundam-K6
 
(...) Well, this is definately one of the better gundam models i have seen. I really like torso and all the crazy angles you included in it, as well as the beautiful studless design. The hips and legs are downright awesome. As a person who generally (...) (20 years ago, 29-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Here are some slightly better pics. I completely redid the arms and beefed up the ankle joint, but I'm still stuck on the hands. This model is the perfect size to keep any hand I've seen from being proportionally correct. (2 URLs) Enjoy. -Brayton (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
