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

We're up to waist-level!
I hope the center of gravity for tank mode is in the sweet spot. :p

WOW! Really impressive!
Would you mind if I use these images as a reference for my paper model?

Thanks!
Not a problem! feel free to use them for reference. :D
There are a few things that are off-model, to compensate for discrepancies between transformation models.
In particular: the lower leg, thigh placement & panels in tank mode, the hinges for the leg wings, and the wings for the turret towers.
 
The test print turned out OK for the larger parts. Things fold up like they should, but pretty much everything in the piston assembly needs adjustment.

Some updates:
Currently improving details and geometry.
Transformation math is pretty much dialed in.
...and still trying to figure out how to make the forearm weapon pod covers functional & durable.

Keep it up, you're doing an excellent work!!

I love the work of miniatures of this movie, especially Achilles. I would also like to build it someday, but in scratch.

Despite the few reference images, your 3D model looks good. I follow your progress ;)

Thanks! There's something special about the old-school stop motion puppets.

I got a bunch of new reference material to work with, the model's in a detailing phase right now. :)
 
Improved turret detail!

And the other color pattern, without the hazard stripes.

I think I have a workable a mechanism for the forearm weapon pods!
Got a couple of compromises to the proportions, but I can still fit some detail in.
