Re: Rokuron Q Mike Beautiful, reminds me how bad I wish I had one. I really wish Uni-Five would reissue some more jumbos.

Re: Rokuron Q Mike Thanks for re-posting this, Erik. Saves me the trouble having to resurrect the Saito thread. Not that looking at those pictures again would hurt anyone...  Now that the cat's outta the bag, I can openly say how funny I thought it was that the guy who did this was actually pictured right in the thread all along..

Effin amazing. Heh...I noticed that, too! My guess is that...well...they kinda suck.

Re: Rokuron Q Mike Actually, if you're gonna own a U5 Garada, the black one is probably the one to get. Although it's neither anime nor toy accurate... it just looks bad-ass.

Re: Rokuron Q Mike Erik, that is damn cool. Very, very nice job.
I notice the final model has rivets (or holes approximating rivets). Did you add those via displacement in Maya prior to milling or was that hand-done to the final physical model?

Re: Rokuron Q Mike I believe the rivets were all done by hand.
