So I started this out here Rack n Ruin Upgrade Components in the fanart section.
Rack n Ruin are unique in that they don't transform, they were created for the comics, they're attached at the shoulders, they're very very old.
I personally think they're one of the coolest things this franchise has created and I wish there was more about them.
The parts are designed to accompany two MSJ-06II-A Tieren Ground types in 1/144 scale. The intention was fortifying my collection and then make them available to others. You just put the gundam kits together leaving out a few parts and my stuff snaps in to complete the RnR look bellow. I think I'm not gonna go with shapeways on this like I originally intended. if there is interest I'll look into making a small run available. At any rate I have to make a few minor adjustments before this would be ready anyway.

Thanks for looking guys.

Awesome, I remember these guys from the comics too, I would definitely pick a few of these up if you make the kit available, you have some real genius ideas!

Same, I would recomend going with shapeways, as for the brittle ting that evry1 has been saying about them I've bought alot of stuff from shapeways and some items are only brittle because of how they were designed/type of material printed. I have some shapeways materials that are stronger then some of my tf plastics and have been dropped and no dmg.

Looks very interesting! R n R have always been two of my favorite characters.

I'd be intrested in this as more Wreckers are never a bad thing!

How much do the Gundam kits go for?

Somewhere around $10-15 each plus shipping. They tend to be put on sale quite frequently, now that they're a couple of years old.
