Re-Master: 1/100 Matsumoto 14 [Robot Jox] Scratch Build - Soon in 3D!

[prefim]

No problem! I hope that fills in some of the missing information. (I still have a lot of work to do to fill in/correct the rest.)

Things are progressing nicely. But any chance I can get a look at the shoulder joint please, without the shoulder cap on please? struggling to make out which lines are seams and which are curves.

Nice work!

The bicep & thigh parts are pretty much identical, the only difference is the cylinder detail on the side.

Perfect, Thanks again!

Well here's where I'm at so far. Cabling and articulation next I think, then paint.

Great work! Pretty fast, too!

Here's where I'm at after 3 days. its painted, rigged and can be animated. Even popped a little Gary Graham in the cockpit!! I couldn't have done this without your help so thankyou again. I've been wanting to build this for years now.

Fantastic work! The pilot is a very nice touch. You're welcome, always happy to help!

I kinda wish I wasn't making one so complex - then it'd be done already!

We're still moving along (the amount of surface detail to replicate is incredible). Every time I think an area is finished, I discover more things I missed! (Some details are fudged for processing power, print-ability, and other excuses)

The fact that the theme music plays in my head whenever I look at pictures of your model really tells you how accurate it is!

 

[joberg]

Excellent work!!

Thanks! I get that feeling when I'm working on this guy, too!

Excellent work!!

Thanks!

Moving on to the rocket booster section.

I finally took a closer look at the detail on the rocket boosters, and man... night and day! (I have a suspicion that the rectangular parts are M1 Abrams exhaust vents, but since the vent detail would grind my PC down to a crawl, decided to omit them for now).

armamentfactory Dude your work is straight fire!! Love the details.

Great job on this!!! Wow…

Hi guys, so I thought this needed to be built. I grabbed whatever references I could online and reverse/engineer one from scratch.

I did the math to scale it to 1/100 & started with the canopy. I think 1/100 is pretty close to the small-scale stop-motion puppet used in filming.

Once that was done, I modeled an armature in 3D and got the files printed. 58 total points of articulation & 111 parts.

Thanks for looking!

To be continued...

do you make this as a kit????

do you sell this kit of robot jox if so how much?

 

[trilanth]

will you offer this as a kit, i don't have a 3d printer???

 

[armamentfactory]

armamentfactory Dude your work is straight fire!! Love the details.

Thanks! Still a lot of work to do before it's complete, though.

There aren't any plans to sell the model right now, hopefully an arrangement can be made in the future for a small run of kits.

Excelente trabajo. Matsumoto 14 es uno de mis Mech favoritos. Está terminado?

Thanks! It's not done yet, but we're still making progress.

The hands have been reworked quite a bit - just like the rocket boosters, pretty much a completely different model.

It also includes a combination of details from the 5-foot & tabletop puppets.

Splendid work
