A Gundam Mecha as in the Anime/Manga series?

If so I can try to help in this sector, but please give more info on which Gundam Mecha model you want to build. It will save me even more time if you tell me which Gundam series its from (Gundam Seed, Gundam Destiny etc.).

I'll try my best to help.

Indeed, the Gundam Mecha from the Anime/Manga series

I wanna start with the most basic model
The website I mentioned was divided in several sections (head, torso, legs/feet).

It'll be awesome if you can help me

Cheers!

Hi all,

Another crazy question

Currently I have a drawing with 4 views from a car (front, side, back and top) which I've imported from AutoCAD. I would like to make a fully 3D model of it, but to be honest I haven't got a clue where to start!

I tried using the several blueprint methods, without any success. Is there anyone here who has run into this problem before? The skp file is attached, for a better overview.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure where to post this, but I'll try

Maybe some of you know there's a website with a handy tutorial on how to model a Gundam Mecha. I've found the URL, but the site seems to be down. I already tried using the internet archive websites, but I don't see the pictures

The URL is: http://www.rjmedina.com/lair/default.asp?Display=34

Any suggestions what to do? Or maybe someone has saved the website or images?

Thanks in advance!

ps: This topic can be moved, if necessary

I've made a few tweaks, not completely finished tho...

Will post when ready!

Update:

Motor looks like old technology. Like something back in 2010. Turbine definitely relegated to operate in the lower atmospher. And the lifting surfaces look profoundly un-aerodynamic. But nice modeling anyway.

I took some of my inspiration from old racing boats, the ones with massive power and being 'profoundly un-aerodynamic';)
Maybe I'll look into it and update the lifting surfaces!

Thanks for the feedback!
