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

[armamentfactory]

I cannot imagine building all of this by hand...thank the Maker for 3-D printing

You said it! I wouldn't have thought about attempting to build the first one without it.

 

[armamentfactory]

There's also a ton of detail under the waist block!

 

[joberg]

Man, that thing is crazy detail-wise Eager to see some parts printed

Absolutely! And these are just what's on the reference pics, I can only imagine how much more we can't see.
I'm excited to start printing too! we'll get to that stage eventually.

Reworked the turret launcher pods - almost a complete remodel.

Man, I can't wait to see this thing done and printed! I'd love to use it as reference for a scratch build!

Thanks!
I believe there are enough renders uploaded to work from, although a fair amount of the detail is simplified.

Well, even with "simplified" details...it's still way complicated and intricate to do

Can't argue with that!

 

[armamentfactory]

Tiny additions to the waist detail.

 

[joberg]

You're really raising the bar high with this project

This season, we have barely noticeable proportion & detail changes to the upper torso. The biggest improvement is the significantly reduced gap between the hood & shoulder turrets.

 

[armamentfactory]

Small adjustments, and hopefully lighter, with less material usage.

 

[joberg]

Speechless

 

[armamentfactory]

Another giant gap removed!

Wow If you were to print that baby; would you respect the Studio Scale used in the movie? I'm a fan of Bigatures but a few words come to mind right away: "Were can I park that model?"

The model's only 14 inches tall, but I guess it can be scaled up to 5 feet. A 5-foot print would be awesome, but I'm gonna need a bigger printer & garage!

 

[armamentfactory]

More changes, more parts.

 

[armamentfactory]

Still tons of detail that was incorrect, or missing from previous iterations.

I suppose at some point, I'll just have to live with a few errors, since rebuilding certain parts would lead to a chain-reaction of rebuilding everything else.

 

[joberg]

I think that 5 feet would do justice to your incredible detailed work
