Gouf Custom: Arms

My legs are feeling murderously bad after todays marathon. Feels like they're going to snap. So sitting down to more Zeon MS's. The arms are based on the gouf custom arms on the outside, but the zakuII on the inside, at least on the upper arms.

Zaku II J: Arms

Well, there they are ..just about. Turns out that all of this nice detail work is raining hell on the polycounts, so I may scale back and use some bump maps here too. Thanks to all of the nice folks who are keeping watch on the blog. Much appreciated ;)

Gouf Custom: Waist 2

Pretty near the end on the waist. Thought it would have been much harder, though I still would like a little detail in the insides of the skirt armor. Still a snip here and there to go. Got a few errors in the torso that I'd like to remove as well.

Gouf Custom: Waist 1

Came back from work late the last couple of days and haven't done much. Getting the waist together on this one using the ideas from the Zaku IIJ ver 2 mesh.

Musha Gundam: Body 1

In a bid to change that shin musha deviation, I'm going back and sprucing up / changing up the original mesh. Winterheim has some good pics of his figure up which I'm using to help build this one. Shouldn't be bad as it's yet another Katoki side-grade. Got most of the shoulder and chest armor squared away for now as I don't have much for time tonight.

Deep Striker: Cannon B

And suddenly, the Deep Striker! There are some bits and pieces here and there I wanted to get to but didn't because of lack of patience and references. One of the last pieces was this particular thingie... the fin that attaches to the Cannon gear rotator. After this would be small snips of detail here and there on the machine that need to be put in. Wow, more than 2 years later...

Zaku II J: Waist 2

Ran 3Km which wasn't much but the heat made it a really painful run. What made it nice is that the wife bought a couple of gundam mechanics books and sent em my way. Didn't touch the Astray today, seems like the comp is gonna burn up. Instead went back on the waist and some other long since forgotten things.

Zaku II J: Waist 1

So finally getting my laziness around to the waist. Not really lazy... just seems like I could have been here quicker if not for some texturing work. Ack, anyhoo...

Gouf Custom: Body 2

Just ran a bit outside and the ankle feels ok. Should be able to run normally for the Aomori Marathon next week. Getting on with the Gouf Custom's body. I used a few of the tricks the Zaku IIJ had though it seems to be in contrary to what the Gouf v2 has, notably I made the backpack attachment similar to that of the Zaku II (which I didn't picture below). The detail is too large in some places and I have to sharpen other areas but it's coming along.

Gouf Custom: Body 1

Using some of the Zaku IIJ to try to build a somewhat more movable and better Gouf Custom. Also spying the Gouf v2 for some extra help on the frame.
