My fourth/fifth attempt to make a fully fleshed out mobile suit. Check update logs for more information of build as it progresses.

Want to see it yourself? Hop on c.nerd.nu, ask a mod how to get to Rock's Gundam (outside of the spawn station in space).

My one major criticism of this is that it isn't as "sleek" and aerodynamic looking as most Gundams/mobile suits. There is such a thing as too much detail. Similar to how people spam stairs, slabs, and fence-posts on the walls of their houses. Yeah it looks pretty but is not realistic and serves zero function. Granted it is hard to get all the minute details of a mobile suit right in a block game without resorting to a massive scale, however, this just looks way too bumpy and cobbled together for a Gundam. I'd also like more information in the description about which specific Gundam it is, what its serial number is, etc. so that I could compare it to the original from the anime/manga.

As a dev and fellow Gundam fan, it would be great if we could maybe collaborate some day and see what we could accomplish. So far I've got a collection of 10 Gundams/Mobile Suits, all around fifty blocks tall. I built them in the private staff world on a server I helped start for fun. The server's website is at Persistent History if you want to come check it out. It is a historical role playing server set in 1862, so nothing to do with Gundam yet, HOWEVER if it survives long enough I will be working toward incorporating mobile suits as an actual usable vehicle using plugins. I already built the Tigerzord from Power Rangers and made it so it can actually run around and nuke cities.

Also, the Gundam Wiki is an excellent source of inspiration for when you want to build a mobile suit. It usually shows front and rear pictures of the different mobile suits along with multiple other screenshots from the manga/anime. Feel free to check out my other submissions, they are of much smaller scale but their proportions would be pretty accurate when compared to the other buildings and landmarks on my home server. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing any future content you submit. Cheers!

I keep feeling like the head's too small, only to remember i haven't made the shoulders yet (so can't quite judge yet).

It's a bit on the small side, I agree.  Might want to consider bulking it up a bit.

Agreed, will work on that once I get the shoulders done. Should be tomorrow. How do the arms look? Length alright?
