One of two new ground attack gundams I'm working on.

I destroyed 01 to build this new model (05).
It expands on the joint technology of 04 with the
addition of very strong geared knee joints
(rather than a triangular locking arm arrangement).

The head definitely reminds me of "01", like it was reincarnated into a gundam
w/ advanced technology...

My subsequent ground attack gundam 06 (gray and blue)
will use even more advanced gear driven knee and ankle joints
with throwbot gear boxes. That will be my final Gundam.

I sure hope that you keep at least one gundam intact; it would sadden me to
know that nothing would remain of these groundbreaking MOC's but pictures...

I think my next theme will be 70's retro style super robots
using this technology. I'll build a "good guy" robot, and a variety of "bad
guy" robots for it to clobber with its rocket punch.

I used to have big, plastic models of Raydeen and Mazinger; they may have
actually been the same size as your gundams.  All I have left of those years is
a small die cast metal Mazinger model...

The "good guy" robot will of course periodically lose and need to be rebuilt
into a more powerful version (in a suspenseful two part episode).

Excellent work, as always!
