Gundam GP03 Stamen - Page 30

Hee hee, that's one big boy there :P

I'll build it at half scale just like Rob's Alex

skupilkinson · 03-09-2008, 05:14 AM

I don't blame ya! LOL Big isn't for everyone, I love it though. If I didn't value my relation ship with both my family and my life, I'd build an even bigger one!

Yeah! I'd have one sitting in an armchair in the house to keep me company when the wife's at work!! LOL

Too far??

I'm just scoring the folds for the thigh so I'm still moving along.

Getter1 · 03-09-2008, 05:29 AM

Ha! You want BIG!! Try to track down one of these

:P

GIANT 5 Foot Gundam Display Models - SOLD OUT

skupilkinson · 03-09-2008, 05:37 AM

Yeah I've seen that. Though I'm not a huge Zaku fan, a 5' would be cool!

I've actually considered making one of these a few times:

Again, self preservation prevents me from going through with it. I think my kids would love it though. My two girls keep asking to watch Gundam Seed, they're huge fans of the Aegis. Purely because it's pink I guess! LOL

Getter1 · 03-09-2008, 05:43 AM

Hey nothin wrong with Zakus :P They did a Gundam to but I don't know if it was ever sold?

A mobile "suit"

I've often considered that myself. Bigest problem is space. If I do a suit it'll most likely be the Sotrmtrooper armor (if only I can dig up $700 for the kit :P ).

skupilkinson · 03-09-2008, 06:41 AM

Stormtroopers are cool. Though I prefer the Clone Troopers myself and the Republic Commandos. RC's just look mean!

As for a Gundam costume, I'd be sorely tempted but the space would be a big issue. My shed gets damp so I couldn't even store it in there.

May have to knock that one on the head. LOL

skupilkinson · 03-10-2008, 08:34 AM

Ok, yesterday did not go to plan AT ALL! LOL I tried to ge more done for an update and so that I could rest knowing that another area was tested.

I started building the thigh and before I know it it was evening and I'd barely got the thight built. That's just one thigh! Things kept popping up and thuings had to be done s I only ended up wit maybe an hour or two actually working on this.

ATM I'm builing the hip joint for it.

Here's a pic of the thigh part all built. You'll see the recess inside th upper thigh for the hip joint to sit. Partly hidden by the thigh itself.

Once this joint is done and dry, I'll be able to test it out.

"Best laid plans....." Some days are like that. Well, you're making progress, that's what counts. Lookin good Skip.

Soaring · 03-10-2008, 10:01 AM

Le gasp! It's genuis!

**Lex** · 03-10-2008, 10:03 AM

Time to see the joint in action... !

CJTK1701 · 04-02-2008, 02:09 AM

Any progress updates on this Skip?

skupilkinson · 04-02-2008, 02:24 AM

Sorry buddy. I've been so busy with the real world lately I've barely had time for anything!

I'm trying to complete texture work on Robs Hyakushiki,when that's done I'll be completing that job for you.

Then I'll get back to the Stamen. There's not too much left to do as far as the design goes. Rob's building it for me too so that's one less thing I have to do. Though I will be finishing mine but it's no longer a priority thanks to Rob.

PLUS, I have a ton of new (sorry) plastic kits to get through. They're all Gundam kits that I intend to use as reference for future papermodels.

I did start the next Gundam papermodel design a few weeks ago when I had some time. Though work on that has stopped for me to clear my workload for now.

I'm not saying what it is. I will say it's a well known Mobile Suit, it has improved joints that are similar in design to the MG/HG kits. Finally I'll slip that from one mesh, I'll be able to offer a number of different models(which will help keep development time down).

But as I said, that's coming when I've finished what I've started so far.

CJTK1701 · 04-02-2008, 02:34 AM

No need to appologise, sounds like you've got a full plate.... for days to come. I was just curious, thought maybe you had gotten something done, but didn'y have time to post. I've suffered from a computer virus along with everything else, so I don't know how long it's going to take me to reconstruct what I had. Anyway, looking forward to any and all of your updates.

**Lex** · 05-01-2008, 06:03 AM

Bump! Just checking if there's any news on this lately ^^

skupilkinson · 05-01-2008, 06:20 AM

Erm, I'm afraid not. The model itself is good, but this Experimental paint job takes some work to get on it. I will be doing again soon because Rob has offered to build it for me to test it but I'll be texturing the thing for him so he doesn't have to build a half textured model.

I've gone and started a BumbleBee Camaro though that is more of a priority to me right now because I'd like it to be ready for Claudios release of his B'Bee robot model.

Sorry guys, but this one WILL be finished.
