    Nice crazy work !
    Did you use 3DS max for the 3D ?
    Nice works on your website too...
  • Taras Lesko plus 3 years ago
    Thanks, and yes, I use Max.

    That's seriously impressive. What sort of internal support does it have? Did you use heavy paper?
  • Taras Lesko plus 3 years ago
    Thanks Ben. It has an internal skeleton, which you don't see, but it gives it some additional support.

    Very nice job. Looks like you put a lot of effort into it. 4 feet is very large!

  • austin fand 3 years ago
    can you make me one of those?
  • Taras Lesko plus 3 years ago
    I'd love to! Pay me well so I don't become a starving paper craftsman and I'll make you the biggest Gundam figure ever.

    Is it for sale? :)
  • Taras Lesko plus 2 years ago
    Sure, make a reasonable offer.

    at what size is the smallest you can make..?
    im really impressed on how it was done...
    looks like a real action figure
  • Taras Lesko plus 2 years ago
    I only made the one 4 foot version. Going any smaller would be too difficult as the parts would be too small to handle. Going smaller would mean having to simplify the 3d model first.

    Thanks.
  • Lance Molivious 2 years ago
    ah, i see..
    so its possible yet more tiring eh.? (well, just looking at the head part seems rough xD)
    thank you very much..
    im so much inspired now on making a miniature for my own, dont worry its only for personal display and i dont think i could match up to you. lols. ^^,


    well then.. good luck on your career :)
    and hope your other projects turn good as well
    have a nice day

    Think you could work out a way to make one as a cosplay suit? If so i would love to get one and go to Otakon 10 as RX-78-2 Gundam.
  • Taras Lesko plus 2 years ago
    Probably could, but probably won't because cosplaying just doesn't seem like my thing.

    plotter would make it easier for you
  • Taras Lesko plus 2 years ago
    If you watch some of my other videos you'll notice that I have one now. I didn't back when I built this model.

    ;)

    Did you scan the original model, or did you build it in Max by hand?
  • Taras Lesko plus 2 years ago
    I modeled it by hand in Max, using the little die-cast model as a visual reference.

  • Nick Spezio 2 years ago
    That is a beautiful piece of work. The sheer scale is amazing. Have you ever thought about making Justice or Providence Gundam?
  • Taras Lesko plus 2 years ago
    Thank Nick. I've got too many other projects I'm working on. Probably won't be returning to Gundam models any time soon. This one was just a fun experiment.

  • Chris Tulloch McCabe 1 year ago
    Wow dude this a very cool. Did you do all the 3D modeling yourself in max? if so that is impressively detailed! and also what app do you use to unwrap the model to a printable template? ... Papakura?
  • Taras Lesko plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Chris. Yes, I modeled this entirely in Max, based on the smaller die-cast model you see in the video. I use Pepakura for the printable templates.
