GM KAI: Messaround

Messing around with it. A bit of a manipulation here.

GM KAI: Done

...and the terrible finish. I guess I'll make the Advance of Zeta conversions for this thing later. I need to figure out how to model a Zaku F2 quick ;)

GM KAI: Exch Rifle

Ok, so this kai actually has a rifle that has different barrels that attach to the same butt. You can tell that I'm not up to date on firearms terminology. Anyway, I'll just leave the parts in this configuration, though it's capable of looking like the Quel's firearms by just changing off the barrel assembly. Note that I didn't include the box ammunition at the rear of the rifle.

GM KAI: Bazooka

Uh, ok. So this is A bazooka for the GM KAI. Actually, Katoki Hajime seems to have created 2 versions of the GM KAI, at least as far as toys/figures/models go. One GM KAI has no vents on the upper part of the torso (between the shoulders and the neck) while a second version, specifically for the Gundam Fix Figuration seems to have those vents installed -- similar in fashion to the GM Quel or Gundam NT-1 (Alex). In this way, the Fix Figuration version is also similar to Katoki's version of "Gundam" (the original). It's all very confusing. On top of that MAHQ shows one type of bazooka that the GM can use (looks like the version used by the Gundam MK-II) while Katoki designates the bazooka used by the original Gundam in the Fix Figuration line. AAAAA!!! Anyway, I'm using the MK-II's bazooka as I figured it would be something of a head start if I ever did the MK-II. Gotta work with some seams and bump map it (as usual).

GM KAI: Shield

Taking a break from world cup to make the GM KAI shield... I'm so glad that it's virtually identical to the Gundam ver. KA shield. Looks like only a small port over to make it official looking.

GM KAI: Legs

The top of the calf section seems to wharp strangely whenever I try to cut more detail into it so I think I'll just bump map the rest of that.

GM KAI: Arms 1

Since I'm getting somewhere with the arms fairly quickly, I think I'll call it a night. I'll fix what I need to later....must sleep...

GM KAI: Waist

Basically I just reverted to an older, saved version of the GM Quel waist and remodelled some of it, as the shape of the Quel and KAI waists are slightly different. Still, it was much easier than starting from scratch.

GM KAI: Body

Not an amazing design as of now, but still something that should be made.

GM KAI

Probably not a big deal, just another GM. I expect that since this bears such heavy similarities to the GM QUEL, it shouldn't take very long to finish. The extra good news is that the chassis is just a small jump away from looking like the Gundam version KA (retro redesigned by Katoki Hajime, as is this GM). This coupled with the Advance of Zeta GM's being based off of this GM means a lot can be done with this thing, especially in the case that I'll need some Federation cannon fodder for the Neue Ziel. :D Ok, so the start...

GM Quel TTT

Repainted the Quel for the Titans Test Team Arc forum renders. Coming out ok I think.

GM Quel: Done...YAY

This is as far as I need to go with this model. Next is the Hazel. I expect that changing this model to look like the Hazel shouldn't be too difficult. I'll probably start tomorrow though. So sleepy...

GM Quel: virtually Complete

Well, the day is almost done. And before I go to sleep, the Quel in the "waiting for the bus" pose. Almost done. Needs color and admittedly, a bit of thickness in the shield.... other than that, the Hazel is around the corner...

GM Quel: Gun #2

The OTHER gun that the Quel uses. After this it's the shield and then some COLOR :D :D

GM Quel: Beam Gun #1

First beam gun for the Quel. The other looks like a rifle or something....

GM Quel: Leg 2

Gave the legs some detail and fixed up the backpack a bit.

GM Quel: Leg1

The legs as of now. Hopefully when I get done with em they'll look better. For now they look kinda round and blobby. Working through Christmas sucks. ;)

GM Quel: Waist 2

After a few parties and other issues with life, I'm satisfied with the waist.

GM Quel: Waist

I must be out of my mind. It's 2am and I'm sitting in front of the pc starting the waist.... I have to be at work tomorrow and I'm goofin around... geez. Anyway, yes, the waist is just started. Shouldn't be too hard seeing as it's such a boxy design. Good thing this is virtually identical to the Hazel unit as well ;)

GM Quel: Arms

... and then the arms... So nice that they're identical to the Hazel. Should hopefully make it easy on me when I get to Gundam-ifying it.
