Beautiful, reminds me how bad I wish I had one. I really wish Uni-Five would reissue some more jumbos. |

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..

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. |

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? -- jJ |

I believe the rivets were all done by hand. |

This project turned out top notch! I have never seen this Machinder before. Going to do some digging in the vintage section.
