Gundam - Rx-78-2 Wip, By Grave

[Deathcoreknight]

ok next update, ive built one of the new boots. 1 piece, fits great!

too bad that it has taken 4 days to build it due to a screaming baby. but now its done and time to start the new shin. hopefully ill get some quiet time to get more work done.

OMFG NICE WORK DUDE

 

[LT GRAVE]

thanks. just finished the calf part of the shin. i like the new look. better then trying to round out the back of the old one.



also can we not quote pics. dont need to take up extra space and banwidth. TY

 

[LT GRAVE]

just finished my new RGM head for my 08th ms project. hopefully i can find a visor for it

Looking mighty fine, can't wait till you get around to the Heavy Arms model, always my favorite Gundam from Wing.

 

[LT GRAVE]

me too, looking at the meshes that i have found its going to take a lot of work just to make the files for it. i wanted to do the kai but there is just too much

 

[tumbucu]

If you're talking about the Heavy Arms Kai from Endless Waltz then don't worry you will see a pep file for it. I'm almost done modifying the parts to make them simpler to pep....I'm debating on starting a thread for it now, or waiting till it is fully done....if you or anyone else wants to see some pics lemme know....and I'm glad to see someone else here working on some Gundam stuff.....Id love to see some files made for some of the Gundams from Seed or Seed Destiny....hell I love to see a file for every one of them made lol

 

[Blackwatch]

excellent work!

I have always preferred the MS085th team gear vs. Gundam OS designs, they just look more utilitarian and functional. While I will always love the ground pounder Gundam my fave will always be Zaku. I build a lot of Bandai MG kits, are you using any of the MG kits to help get your angles when you deisgn your files?

the loadout backpack would be a fantastic addition, if you can stand upright with it mounted.

 

[LT GRAVE]

actually i do have a zaku mesh in my files. i was thinking of doing it up, but its going to be tough cause of the amount of curves that are on it. its one type that cant be angled all over the place so we dont have to use cans of bondo to smooth it.

whats the load out pack? is that the box style pack? i do have the standard MS jump pack and the base to the box style pack, just no box.

as for the later series models, some just dont look like they will pep right. i have been comparing to some of the suits kids in japan have made from cardboard and the card ones turn out better. much more smooth.



i have noticed with how the gundams look, they will take more work to get right then the spartans we make on here. ive seen many armors that have been made well with no bondo and they still look right. that wont work with a gundam. there are some square angles on them but they are all smooth and round. which is why i was looking into foam casting to make those parts.



but im going to get back to working on the shin so i have another pic to put up here in the next couple of days. then the new RGM head. then the new appendages. i am not sure if im going to keep my RX body or build the other rx or the rgm one... oh so much to do!

 

[LT GRAVE]

well i can definitely say the RGM head i made, isnt worth continuing. the head is not a good shape and the visor will be a huge paint to form cut and install. so now onto the new backpack!

 

[LT GRAVE]

ok! so my kid slept for 3 hours and i pumped out my new boost pack, its going to need some reinforcement and the parts to attach it to the armor done before the back piece is built.

 

[Cthulhu11]

Dude! That's totally awesome!!! Are you going to post your pdo's when you're finished?

 

[LT GRAVE]

probably not, im working from my own design now. there is a set of the old RX-79 on here somewhere, i think juice did it. the only reason im not putting it up is cause there are so many suits of halo, odst and iron man out there, i want to be an individual. not saying that there is anything wrong with the battalion size of halo suits. i just like to be different.

 

[Cthulhu11]

That's cool. I don't blame you. In fact I totally agree!

 

[LT GRAVE]

juices suit is good, the helm is awesome! im still using it. the body will need some work on it. if you find it and start to build. fit it to the height of each part according to you. so if your forearm is 270mm from wrist to elbow use that as the height of the forearm piece. its the only way it will fit properly in the end

I foind all his files on the older posts. I think I can use most of it. I want to make a Classic Heavyarms suit, but I am going to end up making most of it out of cardbors as I tought earlier. But I can totally use the Legs and arms! The rest shouldn't be that difficult to do in cardboard.

 

[kls023]

Any chance we can get a PDO file for the head so we can have fun too? hehehe

 

[LT GRAVE]

like i said juices build

juice

 

[Shadowshail]

Amazing work! I myself am working on Juices Gundam files and really hope to see more come out as i want to build as many as i can in good detail!



Thanks for sharing the photos with us and keep up the good work!!!!

I don't know much about Gundams, but what you've made looks great so far. How well do you fit inside there? It look really big inside.
