It's been a while and I've been wanting to see if I can still do it. I decided not to do a TF just yet, (maybe the next one)so I decided to try a simple Mecha. anywho, this thing is about 13 inches tall, cut from styrene of various thickness and some PVCs, the Ball and socket joints are the only things pre-made.
Holy Hell ...... that's a simple Mecha ???? I have not seen your previous work, but from the looks of this you "still can do it" DAMN !!!!
Madness, Don... madness! The curse of all geniuses! That thing is INSANE. Sure it's very Gundam-meets-Dancougar, right down to many of the basic forms... but it easily holds it's own as a distinct, professional Japanese robot design. Now make a cartoon about it. The details are amazing, and overall it's a super-cool design. My only question, conceptually, is what does the headless body do when the jet and bird are elsewhere? Just stand around? zmog
Radicon Don, it's great to see you working on some 3-D pieces again, man! This piece is REALLY looking sharp! I love your all of your artwork and this piece really reminds me about an artist just staying true to his roots and continuing to create. I certainly hope we see more work from you soon! Keep it up, buddy! . . . or you can check out Don's work in our very own Radicons Customs gallery: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/radicons-customs/tags/Don+Figueroa
yeah, no need to go anywhere to look up his work VERY nicely done so far, Don VERY glad to see you still in the game, too!
Definitely spiffy. ^^ The only problem I have is that the guns seem a bit too simple/traditional for a mecha, but everything else blends very well. I take it the giant body just does the traditional "hide underground" routine when not in use? XP
WOW, I would love to see how that would turn out, this piece is simply amazing, I can't believe someone can make some thing like this themselves.
You definitely still got it Don. One of the best scratchbuilds I've seen. I honestly can't even tell it's a scratchbuild, especially the articulated hands. It looks so factory.
