Oh wow, I checked out the construction great job!
Fine choice Id say.

First I wanted to have two trans-yellow 1x1 plates as the visors (a.k.a.
eyes). That basically defined the scale of the head, and the rest of the
body. Click hinges were the obvious choice for the joints, since warm gears
are too large for this scale. It took several weekends to put it together -
head, hands, arms, foots, legs, lower body, upper body, shield, beam rifle,
and the aile back pack. I aimed to finish and show it at the Hobby Show in
Toronto last weekend, and I made it in time.

Excellent.
|
As for the result, IMO...
Good:
I really like the head and the upper body. The back pack is also quite
good. It is quite posable, with double hinged fingers and knees, but...
Its big, and is quite a presence at he show.
|
I agree. It big, Thats why I like it too!
|
Bad:
The scale is quite off in some area, especially the lower body. The legs are
too far apart, limited by the technic click hinges. The legs should be
longer and thicker. The head and the chest looks too big due to the legs. I
already try tweaking it but didnt work out too well Its too big, hence
heavy. The click hinges are too weak for the weight. Even without the back
pack it will fall without the stand. The arms can only hold a few angles
when carrying the shield and the beam rifle. I added a cockpit since there
is room, but it is totally off scale. I wish I can use dark gray on the body
instead of black. No Armor Schnieder. Not enough room for it.
|
Efforts for the next round? Incorporate in to future attempts?
|
From the Hobby Show:
Some fans recognized it right away. Well Gundam Seed is currently running on
YTV so that is expected. Heard many parents said: Look, a transformer!...
^_^;;
|
LMAO, I get that too. hee hee
|
Well next time I think I will try a smaller scale, or have a better scale
plan. LMKWYT
|
Great parts, nice style, big, whats not to like! I want to see more!
