The Bigger They Are...


The more they change I suppose. who in their right mind would not want to turn Metroplex into a massive Gundam? I guess we'll call this one the AGE-5 MAX. Larger than any Psycho Gundam, nothing could give this one a run for his money... other than Voltron of course!






City Walk

As you can see, it is a little difficult to shoot my city set. The lighting is terrible even in the day and it's too large and cumbersome to navigate. I know, I could just use a few more lights, but every now and then I feel like taking my city for a walk. Well a walk across the house to a better spot for photos.


As you can see, dreary yellow streets...
...and more shadows than sun...

...are not problems when you find a place in the house bright enough for photos!

GOOhN on Patrol


If you've got a set, shoot it. Here we have a Stealth Catamaran making a treacherous crossing of disputed islands. But even a wind worn rock formation won't protect you from the dangers of the deep. In this case, a lone GOOhN far from his ship but ready for the catch of the day. Cue jaws music please.




















1/1700 Archangel at Sea


Not much here but a fun use of existing water, sky and land molds. Add some ships and suddenly the world of Gundam gets much bigger... even with such tiny ships. 
















A matter of scale 1/18 scale RX-78 Gundam


A practically unused scale in the Gundam Community. If building this thing weren't so worrisome, I might have finished this bad boy by now. But know knows, maybe seeing some love for this big guy might encourage me to dust it off and finally finish the final details on it. I know, a G.I. Joe scale Gundam is not on everyone's wishlist, but I did not grow up with Gundam. My childhood was military action figures and a huge star wars collection. The only way for me to get into Gundam was to build this thing almost ten years ago. Someday I'll finish you, but with so many builds and with a bit of nostalgia I leave you as an unfinished symphony. The dimensions are about 3 1/2 feet tall and the cockpit is removable so that you can load the pilot. The Gundam is fully poseable with about forty points of articulation. Soon I'll post the Core Fighter I made in the same scale.
