Rick Dom: Old ver

So back to memory lane. I guess this was 3 or 4 years ago now. Why I never got back to it is beyond me, but it does look dated. Let's leave how the canon isn't scaled right and all that jazz. Also it looks like it's time to hit some textures again. Now that Gundam Thunderbolt has come out, some of the backpacks and add-ons look tempting to try. Also, did I ever mention that I have no association with Bandai/Sunrise? This is just a hobby, folks. Some of those artists surprise the hell out of me.

Rick Dom: Legs

Had problems with hard drives again. Sad that it took a month to get back to this guy. The leg frame still hasn't been finished, but it's looking like it's getting closer by the day.

Rick Dom: Heat Rod

I wanted to do more, but last night I was out of it for a while. Got very little done as a consequence. Still, "something" is "something"... not that it took more than a few minutes....

Rick Dom: Arms

Don't seem that bad. The shoulder section was a bit different than I thought it would be and the forearms are a little simplistic, but it's not that far off I think. Another peek at beecrafts mechanical designs should help spruce this up.

Rick Dom: Beam Bazooka

I guess it wouldn't really be the rick dom without the beam bazooka. Of course, it wouldn't be a rick dom without some arms and legs either, so I'll get on them when I figure them out. For now, it's just the weapons. ;p

Rick Dom: Bazooka

Not much time to play today so I got something easy out of the way. Hey, that rhymes! :D
Anywho, the ol bazooka for the rick dom. Not much to see, but hey...

Rick Dom: Waist

I thought it would turn out a little tricky but it seems to work as it is. I guess it's the rounding stuff after all that throws me off a bit. It's coming together though. Not liking the idea of having to do the legs, but they don't seem anywhere near as bad as making the Nightingales or the Qubeleys.

Rick Dom: Body 2

Had to go out and buy more fans to keep the computer running as cool as possible. But had a little time to get some Dom done. A bit more of the body, thankfully. Used a few parts from other MS's to help.

Rick Dom: Body 1

Ugh, drank enough to keep me from being able to stay on the Rick Dom task. Started the body, but bailing for now.

Rick Dom / Xamel -> GO!!

Looking at the roster I've got to the left there, it becomes obvious that there is a severe lack of Zeon/Neo Zeon/Axis MS present, especially compared to the amount of "Gundam" suits. So I thought I'd try to rectify that Zeon handicap a little. Actually, my wife thought of it and I'm going to rectify it. She seems to lean more towards axis/zeon suits.
I really enjoyed watching Gundam 0083 (mostly for the bg story and mech. The "love story" is quite bad) and in that spirit I figured on trying some MS that looked very little like a "Gundam".
The Xamel is not an obvious choice, but it's one I haven't seen many people make. I thought it might be a fun one to go through, but I didn't know where to start until the Rick Dom popped into my head. I thought that perhaps it might be feasible to build that Dom and fashion parts from the Dom into the Xamel and repair as necessary.

M'kay, so the Rick Dom's head start.... but I guess you knew that ;p Got a few smoothing errors but nothing to be too concerned about at the moment.
